I played so much Rome Total War as a kid my parents instituted a "no computer on weekdays" rule until I was in high school

    If I had to pick just one, it would be Starcraft: Brood War. I never appreciated the main game until I was an adult, but I must have played every UMS game type in existence as a kid. If you try to play Starcraft Remastered now, it's a disappointing shadow of what it used to be - pretty much the only UMS games anyone plays are tower defense spinoffs - but in its heyday there was always something creative and cool out there. My favorite was this one that was a full-fledged turn-based RPG, with each player controlling a different party member.

        One of my other favorite genres was the DBZ maps, where you had a couple in-game minutes to level grind before having to fight the next story arc.
