I know that I am performing "thread necromancy" but I have some more things to add to this thread, and would like to see others continue this thread.
Brigade Commander, beat Dune 2 to the punch for the title of FIRST Real Time Strategy game by 2 years.
Empire - Wargame of the Century was the first Turn Based Strategy game that was widely accepted, and proved that computer games could sell.
Scorched Tanks was the father of a style of game that many now recognize; Worms and Scorched Earth to name a few that were spawned from this.
I have to say it, even though it is not a game.
The AMIGA computers were created specifically as home gaming platforms that had superior graphics, more reliability, ease of use, dual processors, and had the FIRST Point and Click interface that existed when DOS was still in the early years.
Unfortunately, it was 15 years ahead of its time, and as a result, failed to catch on.
