Other Games?
J. M. Pescado:
I'm not a big fan of Backgammon online. I prefer the real deal, because I'm much better at it in person. As in, I ruthlessly and unmercifully pummel you every single game thanks to my fine physical control. :)
vecki:
I stick mainly to The Sims at the moment (especially when the little girl next door comes over and wants to play the 'peeple game' on the 'pooter' - although we have been known to attempt computerised board games like monopoly, the game of life).
Otherwise, Emperor: The Rise of the Middle Kingdom is one of my fave city building games. I have tried Sim City 4 but there's plenty I seem incapable of doing on it (I am incompetent! Rip My Lips Off Now!), and otherwise it seems like a lot of waiting around.
Oh well, another week and Uni will start again and I will have to kiss goodbye to my game playing, not to mention the rest of my life in general :(

A lot of people collect stamps, coins and whatnot. I tend to amass pathetic amounts of computer games... many of which I've never even taken out of the box, much less installed and played. Such as (don't rip my lips off, please, JMP, I'll get around to them some day) Civ II and Civ III. Have the complete Morrowind sitting here as well, which I bought in anticipation of my wrist surgery, thinking I'd have a good 6 to 8 weeks off work to really get into it. Was a bit tricky to do seeing as I needed two hands and with one arm in a cast it just didn't work. I suppose I'll give it another shot eventually. I've got all of the city building games (and I also liked Emperor the best of the whole lot), going all the way back to the original Caesar. I can still hear my computer chanting "Plebes. Plebes." at me over and over again whenever more workers were needed (jeez, I can't remember, was that the first or second??)
I loved all the Age of Empires and Mythology games with expansions and still play those from time to time. Same goes for Tropico2, although I absolutely loathed the first one for some odd reason. Stronghold was okay, and I'm toying with the idea of getting the new one. Pirates! was probably one of the easiest and most repetitive games I've ever played, and I was so horribly addicted to it in spite of the redundancy. In fact, I played it just the other day for the first time in months and still adore it. I was really into Diablo I and II for a looong time, and had my assassin up to a level 81 when I finally got sick of it (and haven't touched it since). The various Roller Coaster Tycoon and Zoo Tycoon games still see action sporadically. The Myst games were great but once you'd solved them... meh, no sense in doing them again. Now they're amazingly proficient at gathering dust. I purchased Psychonauts last weekend and must say that thus far I'm NOT impressed. I guess it's just not my thing, so I highly doubt I'll finish it and suspect it will soon be employed as a dust collector with Myst et. al.
I'll still trot out the old Black & White games now and then, which I suspect ties into my sim addiction. It's hard to *not* like a game where you're God.

Restaurant Empire, Hotel Giant, The Sims 1 (still fond of it), Sherlock Holmes misteries, and Bridge CD and online)...:).
J. M. Pescado:
I'll have to give some of these games you mentioned a whirl sometime. I think I might have some of them still unplayed in my archives.
