Computer games have become more and more popular over the last ten to fifteen years. Many people can get lost in a computer game for days without ever looking away from their screen. Many different reasons can make a computer game your favorite, great action, amazing role playing, hard hitting sports action, or just a really great story. Here are my 5 favorite computer games of all time:

The fifth best computer game of all time has to be Doom. This amazing first person shooter paved the way for hundreds of games for many years after its release. Doom had very interesting levels with different things to shoot from Nazis to zombies. It also helped to launch professional gaming competitions, and brought fellow gamers together in LAN parties.

The fourth best computer game of all time is a real time strategy game named Populous. The graphics in this game are not very good, but it is more than made up for by the amazingly addictive game play. The main purpose of this game is to try to take one person and make them into a huge thriving civilization. To do this you need to make sure that you have the correct balance of hunters, builders, priests, and of course warriors. Once you have built up your community to the point where you think you can defeat your enemies, then it is time to attack and conquer the world.

The third best computer game of all time is another very addictive game named Lemmings. This game has recently been reworked to really enhance the graphics, and also to make the backgrounds more vivid. However the game play has not been changed very much, because it has been amazing since the very beginning. The object of the game is to get as many of your Lemmings through each stage safely by using different variations of Lemmings to accomplish the task.

The second best computer game of all time is Sim City. This game launched a franchise that has caused people to waste countless hours trying to simulate certain aspects of our lives. The original Sim City was very fun to play, because it was very simple to create a city and the possibilities were only limited by your imagination.

The best computer game of all time is Civilization II. This game takes all of the best things from the previous 4 games, and rolls them into 1. This game is better than its predecessor, because it allows you to control almost every aspect of your civilization. You get to control how you work with others, build, trade, and even fight with other civilizations in your quest to control the globe.
