Top 5 game series (pc)

[dreadknought]

I thought it would be cool to get everyone who wonts to name their top 5 game series. By this I mean games on the pc that have inspired others for example( everquest- civ-sims-baldors gate-age of empire- -unreal-starwars-...ect) I would say to consider the overall time these games have taken from your life as well as game value............dread

Would be hard for me to post a top five PC since I've played so much more console during my days. Therefore, I'm gonna ignore the PC rule and post top five game series from all platforms:

Tekken series
Civ series
FIFA series (altough some years were kinda lame)
Rainbow Six series
Final Fantasy series

Well, at least two out of the five were for PC

[ApocalypseKurtz]

1) Quake Series (marred somewhat by Quake 3 failing to meet lofty expectations, but for the exceptional 1st and 2nd games in the series it gets my vote for best series)

2) Civilization Series (all 3 are classics and each improves on the one before significantly)

3) Age of Empires/Mythology Series

4) Simcity Series

5) Command & Conquer / Red Alert Series

 

[WildFire]

What was wrong with Quake 3? Is it because it didnt really have a plot like Quake 2? Quake 3 was (I believe) soley made for online play.

 

[Dell19]

No order:
Total war series
Age of empires series
Championship manager
Unreal Tournament
Oh and I guess I could include Civ

It was still a good game; it improves on graphics from the previous ones. I guess it just wasn't as groundbreaking as either Quake 1or Quake 2, and I consider the no-single player levels (besides deathmatch w/comp opponents) a big negative.
