King of Dragon Pass is great, but you have to take in a lot of lore about the epic world of Glorantha to really appreciate it. The game provides a lot of the lore but you gotta sit down and read properly I think. The Guide to Glorantha is soon going to be available! I bought into that kickstarter, can't wait for my books.
Wonderful games!! I'd love to play them again.I'm surprised Lemmings hasn't been mentioned yet.
This was my first strategy game. The frustration of failing a level is countered by the ability to nuke everyone.
This was also in the time period where games came in floppy discs instead of CD's.
I went from D&D to Runequest to all the Dragon Pass board games. Greg Stafford was an amazing designer.

It was great, yes, but i would not call it a "strategy" game, although it contains strategy. It mostly contains calculation and relations between possible outcomes. You have no actual "enemy", you only have a set destination and the need (often) to sacrifice a number of the lemmings to get there with the rest, or any number which allows you to move to the next stage
Is a puzzle game that different from a strategy game?
Wow that looks almost eerily similar to a civ1 map.
