Arr! You bloody pirate. You don't want to do that.....
Ok, ya you do....it's probably quite hard to find a complete copy of the games.
I'm just such a big fan of the series that I could never DL it..I must have everything! Muha...*choke*

Dammit, I can't choose! For me it's a tossup between Alpha Centauri, the Fallout games, and Total Annihilation.

Oh wow, I completely forgot about Alpha Centauri. That was such a good game back in the day.

TA is a love it or hate it game, I've found. I like Skirmish mode when I'm bored, and I'm bored a lot. StarCraft *is* better, but I play TA more often, and that's why it's up there instead of SC.
Actually, I found my old copy of Dune 2000 and I've been getting back into that, along with reading the books for the fifth time. I'm about halfway through God Emperor now. So yeah, my new list, in descending order of preference is:
Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri Fallout 1 Fallout 2 Commander Keen 1-5 and Aliens Ate My Babysitter StarCraft Brood War Dune 2000 Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri: Alien Crossfire StarCraft Septerra Core Doom 2 Jill of the Jungle Halloween Harry Major Stryker
...Yeah, I went through all of my old PC games the other day.
Oh, and Drowned God gets a mention for being so damned impossible. It's even harder than Myst, Riven, and Exile put together. (Actually, I found the Myst games pretty easy)

In TA it seemed like the added a crapload of random units with no thoughts of reason or balance.

Huh? I always thought it was a little too balanced. You have your ARM unit, and it's complemented by the EXACT SAME UNIT on the CORE side.

I'm not sure if he meant between the sides, just against each other, like too many units of the same type without much reason and stuff... Just guessing, I never played TA that much although I tried it at a friend's house and it was pretty fun ;D

They could of atleast put up a limit to how many guys you can have on the screen. It's a little too chaotic at times. There's something about the Total Annialation series which I just dont like. Battles last too long and games just drag on, it gets boring fast.

Hmmm, list of favorite games.... so many... cant choose .... wait, PC games? ooooo, much easier =)
Fallout 1/2 Baulders Gate Return to Castle Wolfenstien Gothic (fun but kinda buggy) Starcraft (multiplayer only though) Diablo 1/2
But.... without a shadow of a doubt my personal favorite PC game of all time - *drum roll*
Everquest
