The first strategy/wargame I ever played, back in 1987. The game has the option to create your own battlefields and armies to fight with, from ancient times to modern. The original game came with several scenarios/battles, and there was even more released later on. It's a great turn based strategy/wargame. The graphics are spartan, but they work well for the game.
Those games also need your vote!
BitLiberator
BitLiberatorBitLiberator is a strategy/puzzle/action game where you eliminate corrupted Programs by either destroying them or reprogramming them. You can control friendly reprogrammed Programs and connect them into more powerful structures. You can also apply Upgrades to your Programs, allowing them to perform actions such as shooting enemies, shielding themselves from enemy fire, or slowing enemies down. However, be warned that, over time, corrupted Programs will detect you and start moving toward you.

The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age
The Lord of the Rings: The Third AgeThe Lord of the Rings:The Third Age introduces entirely new characters which aren't mentioned in the books or movies. The game does relate to the movies by including scenes from all three movies, with new background speech by Ian McKellen (Gandalf). There are seven playable characters in the game which have been created specifically for it, as well a small appearances by characters such as Gandalf, Aragorn, Eowyn, Faramir, and Gothmog. The game covers events in all three movies/books, mostly with references to major events shown through cut scenes, or the scenes from the movies with Ian McKellan's narration. A classic RPG game, The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age has gameplay elements similar to Final Fantasy, where you have a party of characters, each with a different set of skills and attributes, who gain levels, making them stronger as the game progresses. Battles are turn-based, and let the gamer make different decisions on what they want to do to change the outcome of the battle. The game travels through many areas throughout Tolkien's Middle Earth, including The Pelennor Fields and Moria.

Black & White 2
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.
