I'm enjoying a break from school, going after my bachelors in the winter.

Until then besides working, I will be playing-

Aces High
Forgotten battles
Silent Hunter II
Destroyer Command
Both Combat Missions
Superpower

I just picked up Superpower the other day, More fun than I expected.
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

AH (of course)
Rise of nations
Raven Shield
Project IGI I & II
Blade of Darkness
It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

I remember them.  At least, I remember their most famous game, that started a whole genre and evolved into more cinematic versions.

The Zork series were great. Did you ever play Zork: Nemesis?

I Played all the Zork's 'till they started adding graphics.  Great games.  I got hooked on Infocom's text games with "Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy" because I loved those books and once I started playing the games I bought almost everything they sold.  Some were good, some were junk but how can anyone say no to a game with a title like "Leather Goddess of Phobos"?

Especially when it had rubber tubing, lubricant and a llama . . . or was it a yak?  I forget.

I also used to play Runescape while at work.
There was this 3d shooter called Rise of The Triad, I liked it better than Doom, it had a lot of neat features. Anybody remembers it?
Oh, and when I first bought a PC I got hooked on Strip Poker. Maybe that's why I'm so lucky at poker, come to think of it :)
