You forgot two notable strategy games.

One of my favorites, due to its extreme simplicity yet latent level of difficulty, is Othello. Also known by the name Reversi, it can be played by even a young child but takes years to master.

Another game is Shogi, which some may claim falls under chess.

The "Age of Empires" series should be included somewhere. Honourable mention to "Civilisation"

Duh, Tribal Trouble 2 in all 5 slots 8)

I've only got AoE 2, but from the look of it Total War would be 6th

Tic Tac Toe (or Naughts & Crosses) :D
When I was at school I wrote a program in pascal for this game that couldn't be beaten... it's deceptively simple and most of the moves can be mirrored so it was easy to program a response for every move the opponent made. I still have it on a floppy somewhere

Come on snype, we're waiting.

On another note, I'd like to see a chess game on here. I don't know how to play, but I'd love to watch! :D
