Ive played almost all of them. Among my faves:
Heroes of MM
Space Empires
Homeworld
CoD 4 (way too short)
Transport Tycoon
Max Payne
Starcraft
When I say Ive played almost all games, I mean it. The problem is I cant find a game that keeps my attention for more than a few hours. Graphics are not a huge issue here, I prefer higher game mechanics without having too much micro-management. Civilization games were fun but required too much attention. Getting too old and dumb to compete in twitch games (FPS). Heroes was a fantastic game but they sacrificed gameplay for graphics starting at about #3.
Im open for suggestions! Please keep in mind that I am trying to find a single player game to get into.
I may jusy have to stick with homeworld forever...

Sacred was good for a while.
Darwinia is very fun! (I think those are the same guys who made Everyone Dies)
Come to think of it, I may have lost my gaming capacity altogether 
There has not been a game that could hold my interests for longer than a short while. Maybe a day or two at most. The problem is I see so many faults and ability to min/max them right off the bat that makes them no fun for me. Right now I am spending some time playing Space Invasion (kinda like the ikariam thing) which has kept me somewhat attentive for 3 days now.
Thanks for the pointers folks, but I might be reaching the twilight where these things cant keep my attention anymore.
And to the guy who said transport tycoon was not micro-managey: i loved that game so much, but i got to a point where i could setup an entire rail system without screwing up. No tweaking necessary. Over 48 trains servicing the same station with no stalls, full 4 leaf clover systems and roll-on/roll-off systems. That is a GREAT game.

There was an old game I played which I could have sworn went by the name 'Syndicate' but every search I have done came up with a completely different game.
This game had research, a stock market, a mail system with missions, and a RTS all rolled up into one. You could research mechs, weapons, tanks, troops, and all sorts of junk then choose your battles. Then you could customize your units how you saw fit and send them into battle. this was possibly 92-96, anyone have any ideas?
