What games do you remember fondly but it seems like no one else played it?

For me it's Captain Claw - 2d platformer for PC

So it was civilization but in space? I’ve been looking for such a game

It takes place on an alien planet, so it's not in space, but yes, it's a sci-fi game similar to Civilization. If you want in space, check out the Galactic Civilizations series, or Endless Space 2. No sci-fi, but speaking of Endless Space, Endless Legends is an excellent fantasy 4X.

For more on planet ones sci-fis, there's Civilization: Beyond Earth (which I've heard not so great things, but may have fixed some of their stuff...I hate 2K though...), as well as Age of Wonders: Planetfall. There's also some 40k stuff, like Gladius.

Alpha Centauri is on GOG only, I think, by the way. Oh, it's also $1.49 right now. :D

Civilization: Beyond Earth

Civ: BE is OK. I'd personally rather play it (with mods) than Civ V/VI. Diplomacy is pretty weak (and actually worse with the expansion IMO), but you can fix nearly every other problem I had with the game (including "it's not a worthy successor to Alpha Centauri") with mods. I need to play that or the Civ IV Planetfall mod again.

It's also got some of the best quotes and voice-overs for the various secret projects and technologies ever seen in a video game.

Almost makes me want to crack it open again for a few hundred hours...

It's a spinoff of Civ, in the same engine (I think) as Civ 2. One major difference I remember was that you could design your own units by mixing and matching components.

Sounds cool! Can’t wait to dive in

The engine is similar but there's some pretty notable differences (terrain and units mainly.) Enough that I don't think it's quite fair to call it "the same", but unlike CIv II and Civ III (for example) there's probably a lot of shared code under-the-hood.
