I'm trying to reverse engineer the distinctive look of classic RTS games and CRPGs. It's the isometric view, it's the sprites, and it's the over-designed, semi screen-filling menus and interaction ...

EA's strategy games like Populous: The Beginning offer unique, experimental gameplay mechanics. Dungeon Keeper by EA allows players to be evil by managing a dungeon and employing strategic tactics.

While I like the comparative groundedness of Tiberian Dawn, Command and Conquer 2 could be the best-looking game in the entire Westwood series. The bright, bold colors. The laser weapons. The mechs.
