I personally enjoyed Total Annihilation, but Planetary Annihilation and some of the later games, like the Spring-based remakes never quite caught me the same way.
TIL there's an arcade version of Ghosts n Goblins
Thanks for the links!
The arcade was the original version. There's also a really good modern port on the Commodore 64 with a banging soundtrack called "Ghosts n Goblins Arcade"

Next week, imma be all about this.

That was notable for having a pretty good soundtrack for the SNES:

Still to this day I hum Black Sabbath when I drive fast or do any fancy weaving.
Heard Sabbath on this game before anywhere else, I still love them so much.
