It wasn't the best, but to mention one that hasn't been already there was an old free amiga game called "Legion" that was quite fun and open ended. You can probably download the the game in a couple of minutes now. I seem to remember it had some odd translation quirks in the dialogue.

That would be Ultima Online. I'd love to see an Ultima VII BG/SI remake done with the UO engine.

Dwarf Fortress.
Just began playing it today, forced myself over the ASCII, and was rewarded with one of the most complex things ever. And it's not even half the planned features yet. Lovely.

Uhhh....Arcanum isn't exactly sandbox, but it's huge and has superb interaction mechanics. Other than that, Daggerfall.

Not that I disagree with you entirely, but dang, man. You delurk and fire off your first post for that comment? And I hope you've been lurking a lot longer than April 07 if you're planning on taking to task a guy that's been posting for three years. Saint preserve us!

Or does it look human enough to be furry?

x-com: apocalypse, because of the faction interaction that extended beyond the simple x-comish gimme money or don't
survival crisis z is pretty sandboxy within its setting, allowing you to coerce survivors into joining you by blowing others up, torture house owners for their hidden goodies, and so on (including a hidden identity option in the same way oblivion's thief mask works, 'cept in scz it makes more sense)
and mercenaries: playground of destruction was basically a medium sized conflict sandbox

Survival Crisis Z is now full and free -- http://blog.skasoftware.com/static.php?page=scz
If that's the demo then go find the full version yourself.

Well, let us define "sand box" first. I'm going to say sand box is being able to do anything, yet at the same time change nothing (or, no permanent consequences to any or your gameplay desicions). Thats why I feel simulations games like Sim City are more "sandboxy" then even GTA or Oblivion (though both have pretty strong sand boxes with in). As for the best? Not sure, I tend not to lake the genre.
