I'm sad my number 2 didn't make it to the top 500. 4 civilizations made the list as well as master of magic but no alpha centauri.

Master of Magic was on some people's list? Awesome and unexpected. MicroProse for the win (or at least a few mentions outside Civ).
I also detected a few of Richard Garriott's Ultimas on the yearly breakdown lists and a few Bullfrog entries, albeit pretty obscure ones (but no Syndicate, no Dungeon Keeper, tsts - I really should return to voting next time). Even Dynamix' RPG gem Betrayal at Krondor was mentioned by someone. Great! HoMM III and AoE 2 are there as well and even made it to the top 500, but both were expected (most beloved PC strategy classics outside CIV). It seems not everything is lost with regards to VGC and PC gaming. 
Too bad for Alpha Centauri but it's always overshadowed by Civilization as long as a ranking is not mostly made by PC gamers. I hope Firaxis turn Civ: Beyond Earth into a true - not just a spiritual - successor with future expansions (or, if that won't happen, I hope fans step in with mods).
