The game that started it all! Much more simple than the sequels, but that relative simplicity is as much an asset as anything else; the game is thankfully free of the annoying timed puzzle levels that bottleneck the later games and with only a few types of units you can focus on slowly taking over the map. The only things I really miss from the future installments is the ability to actually detroy creeper spawners and a more robust upgrade system to make turtling even more rewarding and powerful.
