I agree with you on Warcraft, Civ and HoMM but would add Baldur's Gate I-II, Fallout 1-2, Planescape:Torment, Neverwinter Nights with the expansions, Elder Scrolls series and Gothic 1-2.

Neverwinter Nights 2 is coming along by the way and I am makin a blog about it. Check my profile.

Thanks Ewan

Angband, an rpg/strategy game, and its free. Based on the old game Rogue, which is about as old as I am.

A little tricky to get understand the initial mechanics of the game, unbelievably tough to beat unless you are exceptionally patient, but absorbing, challenging and addictive.

"Risk and starcraft and patrick are all cool."

Haha, very nice. Though it sounds kinda funny, like when conjuncts employ different senses of a word. E.g. "coffee and supermodels are hot". [Are there different senses of the word "cool", I wonder? ;)]

Not only did you steal my name... you also stole my games! How dare you!? ;)

Risk and starcraft and patrick are all cool.

Has anybody else (other than Richard) played Attack? Its made in New Zealand and is way more complicated than Risk, but similar, and more fun.

Both Civ and chess are good.

But I must mention Risk and Starcraft as belonging in the pantheon of great games.

Yes we all agree Civ and chess.

By the way I am good at both, maybe we can all have a game accompanied by a philosophy debate. maybe both at the same time fast chess accompanied by a slow civ 2 game.

I also like "big 2" / "bastard" the card game.

A lot things on your blog made sense, but this is the first time I found myself shouting in agreement! Agree with stephen about alpha centauri.

Can't wait for Civilization 4!

Civ2 and HOMM3 for me as well.

Have you played Neverwinter Nights? It's been around for three years now and NWN2 will be out soon. It's a D&D style RPG that allows people to create their own custom worlds hosted on their own servers. That's what makes it good.

Other favourite computer games are the Baldurs Gate series, Planescape Torment, and Fallout I and II.

You should learn bridge. I started at 15 and there are plenty of players who are not old ladies. You can also play online.

Civ and Chess

Civ is complete crack for me; I've wasted many a night on that game.

Of similar proportions is Alpha Centauri: Alien Crossfire - another Sid Meier classic in the same vein.

Plus I used to be really good at chess, cept its hard to find people to play with now :(
