Most-played Conflict games
Conflict: Middle East
DOSStrategy
Conflict: Middle East is a DOS political strategy game developed and published by Virgin Games in 1991. It places the player in the role of a national leader attempting to manage the Middle Eastern conflict through diplomacy, military decisions, economic policy, and relations with neighboring states. The game is primarily menu-driven rather than action-oriented. Players review reports, choose policies, respond to crises, and try to preserve national stability while pursuing strategic objectives. Its subject matter and simulation-focused design give it historical interest as an early computer political strategy title. Reception was limited and mixed, with attention focused more on its ambitious subject and complexity than on presentation or accessibility.
Conflict: Europe
DOSTurn-based strategy
Conflict: Europe is a turn-based strategic wargame developed by Oxford Digital Enterprises and published by Mirrorsoft for DOS in 1990. It presents a hypothetical military confrontation in Europe, placing the player in command of forces, resources, and operational decisions rather than offering direct tactical action. The game is built around planning, territory control, and the careful use of limited military assets. Its interface and presentation are functional, emphasizing maps, reports, and strategic choices. Reception has generally focused on its serious subject matter and broad operational scope, while noting that the rules and interface can be demanding for newcomers.

How rankings are calculated
The list is generated from active EmuGamers catalog entries. Votes and play activity determine order; browser compatibility is reported separately and does not turn an untested game into a higher-ranked recommendation.
| Order | Signal | How it is used |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Real community votes | Games with at least one recorded vote appear before games with no votes. |
| 2 | Rating confidence | More votes rank first, followed by the rating value. |
| 3 | Play activity | Play count breaks rating ties and orders entries with no votes. |
| 4 | Stable tie-break | Game name keeps otherwise equal results deterministic. |
