Wizz 11 Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 I'm not really a "gamer" as such but someone got me Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 as a present - because I love rollercoasters - and I've become complete addicted to it, it's awesome. I heard the previous versions of it weren't that nice to look at but this one sure it. Great game. Just a bit too addictive!! Link to post Share on other sites
TheOrange 0 Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 The Sims falls into that category I think... heard the new one is pretty good. Link to post Share on other sites

bobby12 0 Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 Any massive multiplayer online role playing game (MMORPG) like Everquest. I heard some guy in Korea died by playing the game for 4 days straight without stopping to eat/sleep! Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 I can never get into them multiplayer things. The God Games are very addictive though, time flies when you're on one of them. Link to post Share on other sites
bluetit 0 Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 Coaster tychoon is a great game if you like coaster. Coaster Cam on the new one is esp good - very cool when you create your own hyper-mega-coaster. Link to post Share on other sites
tsondaboy 0 Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 I ve also heard about the Guy in Korea, he was playing Diablo 2. If you like games like RCT you should also check Civilization 3 Sims (the new version) Theme Hospital (old but funny) Pharaoh Also really addictive but a bit deferent Warkraft 3 Diablo 2 Starcraft brood wars Baldurs Gate Make sure you have a phone near by the pc to call for pizza and 2-3 bottles of water, if you don’t wanna and up like the Korean guy!!!!

TheOrange 0 Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 "Beat your jogging time" is my current favorite game. Try to go that little bit faster and/or go that little bit further every week. Link to post Share on other sites
CheeseRipper 0 Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 I have this ski resort game I've been playin were you have to design your own ski area. It's pretty difficult! They only give you like $50,000 and it goes by really fast. Link to post Share on other sites
brett_jackson 0 Posted November 26, 2004 Share Posted November 26, 2004 Have any of you seen the new Half Life 2? I'm not into computer games, but I like watching them being played occaisionally. The guys I work with were playing this last night. It's the most incredibly realistic game I've ever seen. They all seemed quite addicted. Link to post Share on other sites
joshnii 2 Posted November 26, 2004 Share Posted November 26, 2004 CheeseRipper Whats that called then? Perhaps some of the resorts here could play it to get some ideas Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted November 26, 2004 Share Posted November 26, 2004 On the coaster game can you make massive hypersupermegaduper coasters that pack in 10Gs and kill the riders??? Link to post Share on other sites
tsondaboy 0 Posted November 26, 2004 Share Posted November 26, 2004 An also funny game that I ve just remembered is called “Dungeon Keeper”. You are supposed to create your own dungeons and defend them from the “good guys”. You are something like the daemon in charge and your cursor looks like a really nasty hand. If your workers don’t work fast, you can slap them to death and see them explode! Really funny game can help you relax the stress. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 Remember some of those text-only "adventure games" from the past (like on the BBC, Amiga, Spectrum). They were BOSS. Where can I get them now. Or perhaps they should just stay in memory. Link to post Share on other sites
orinoco 0 Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 Yes I remember them - not sure if they were 'boss' or not though, grungy (!) Link to post Share on other sites
Thunderpants 0 Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 grungy-gonads, The Amiga scene is still alive, believe it or not! go here to get your best amiga computer you ever had, FOR FREE!!! games can be found here and there There are many other sites around that offers amiga games, use a search engine. To run the WINUAE emulator, you will need the "kickstart files" which you still have to pay for, but search around, and you might run into them. The games you can play reminds me of the fact that games these days features nicer graphics, but gameplay has not improven, rather the opposite. Amiga games like Speedball, Railroad Tycoon, Stuntcar Racer, Interceptor are immortal games. Remember the old Lucas Art games like Day Of The Tentacle and Monkey Island?
