Kaboom! was definitely a great game, but have you played <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warlords_%28game%29" rel="nofollow">Warlords</a> with all 4 paddles? Now that is^H^H was a crazy, good time. We're talking yelling and picking sides and staying up until 4AM playing. Jeremy, Jeremy, Jeremy,

Completely agree that Total Annihilation was the best RTS ever made. Thought I should post on your commment about getting it to work in XP. You should visit the TA Spring Project. These guys are dedicated to recreating the original TA in 3d and they have made a fantastic job of it. They've managed to make it completely mod-able as well and there are quite a few mods as well as the original.

I gotta say I'm a sucker for SimAnt and love the graphics as it is. Syndicate was released for Amiga and MS-DOS. Basically, it took place in some near-future where the world was controlled by a mafia-style corporations. The concept was that the player controlled various agents and was required to complete a bunch of mafia/corporate espionage activities: completing kidnappings, stealing inventions, bombings, and earning cash to purchase better weapons (yeah, not a sensitive game for our environment). It wasn't a shoot-up game, but it required lots of planning and good timing.
