The only computer games I ever really got into were Ages of Empires I & II.
I stopped playing because I started lose more than I would win. There was no real way to ensure peace via diplomacy -- which was probably the intent of the game.
I also disliked the lack of business sense. I had to micro manage everything. I could not empower some Al guy to manage food production or my military. My favorite parts of the games were the wooden boats and all the exploration to be had of new areas.
