If you don`t know who Sid Meier is, Google his name now. He`s made some games that I`ve lost way to much time to. A legend in the industry, he gave his Top 5 games of all time to MSNBC. HIs list is interesting but not really that surprising except for one. What`s your top 5 of all time?

I think at least three of the comments on his Top 5 were "...gotta play just one more level" of whatever game. It's that bite-size addiction that factors in heavily for him. Which makes sense, since he's obviously created games that *he* would like to play.
But, um, I kinda had to ascertain that for myself, since the "article" isn't very deep-delving.
So here are my Top 5 Sid Meier games, with little explanation:
1) Spore -- The greatest game I haven't yet played!
2) Pirates! (1987)
3) Alpha Centauri
4) Civilization III
5) Railroad Tycoon II
(...By no means definitive, these are just ones I've had a lot of fun with. Or *will* have fun with!)
EDIT: And now I'm wildly embarrassed for mentioning Spore, since that's a Will Wright game. Not a Sid Meier one. Got my pantheon of Game Developer Gods mixed up.

It does seem like a useless article. If you're going to spend time with Sid Meier, why not try to get more quotes / information?
I don't know if I could list games in any certain order, but making my top five would have to be:
No One Lives Forever 1/2 (PC)
Shadow of the Colossus (PS2)
Zelda II: The Adventures of Link (NES)
Starcraft (PC)
Fallout 2 (PC)
Like most people, it would be hard to narrow it down but these are certainly among the best I've ever enjoyed playing (over and over again).

You do know Spore is by Wil Wright right?
