Unpopular games you feel are the Apex of a genre

[Pemalite]

Turn based strategy. - Alpha Centauri. - Released in 1999.
Almost a quarter of a century later and I do not feel it has been surpassed... Every faction had personality, ideology, goals... But even the environment had personality, goals and an ideology.



I still play this game frequently.



************

Sacrifice.
Third person real time strategy.


Another game that is almost a quarter of a century old. - Amazing voice acting, unique art... And just solid gameplay.

***************

Battlezone 2. - First Person Real Time Strategy. - 1998.


Absolutely solid title.
