Please let me know. I was extremely put off by the bugs and lack of suppport. And training the AI never seemed to help the AI at all.[:@]

God, I cannot tell you how many hours my brothers and I spent rolling those little dice and looking at those cards (this was way back when). We had the play boards memorized. Don't know if we ever finished a complete season (APBA football took precedence) but we managed to always get the entire league to the All-Star game and usually up around 100 games each. That is a lot of dice rolling and stat keeping.[:)]

While I got into gaming because of wargames (in boardgames the only non-wargames I played regularly were from AH - Bowl Bound and Speed Cicuit for the most part), I now do tend to play other games. I think it is a version of ADHD...I can only handle any one game exclusively for about a month before I have to take a break and play something else. My favorites, (non-wargames) Neverwinter Nights Civ3 Railroad Tycoon 2 ( I do play RT3, it didn't grab me as well as RT2, but it is gaining strength as new maps are released by fans). Tropico (Tropico 2 is okay, but again doesn't grab me as well) Morrowind Knights of the Old Republic Imperialism/Imperialism2 Cycling Manager 2 Links LS 1999 (with all my old Links courses). If there were a decent college football game on PC (I almost bought NCAA 2004, but then found out that it does not have a coach only mode - I don't deal well with eye-hand coordination) like the old Microsports All-American College Football (DOS game that locks up in W98 mode), I would definitely grab it.

Lately my list of games have lately been quite short: nethack ( sometimes, not even to trying to ascend... Just slashing around is just fine sometimes :) M.U.L.E. ( not without beer and other player ) Allways having one online 3D shooter installed, currently Vietcong. Relaxing :) Hellfighter ,if the game server would be up. Don't bother on my own. Because I loved Star control I&II. If I'd have more time, I'd play MOO3, newest Championship manager etc. etc.

UFO enemy unknown on my Amiga 1200[8D] Still the best - also Jagged alliance 2 - cool, cool game.

watchtower -> RE: Non- wargames you play and why (9/15/2004 9:24:46 PM)
I liked the urban chaos mod even if it was a little too ambitious but what a community mod scene! I didn't realise Wildfire was out! --rushes off to JA2 fan sites..........

DOOM III. Unbelievable graphics and game play but not a relaxing game or good for panic attacks.

Of course there's always poker [:D]

I like train simulators because the things they have done with the graphics in the past few years is astounding..There are sites where you can download(free) additional engines,routes,scenery,etc,so it's common for a fella to have a hundred engines in his collection.I have a lot of steam and early diesel as I "model" the late 40's,early 50's and have equipment from companies that went out of business years ago,like the Pennsylvania RR,B&O,Monon,Wabash,C&O,Milwaukee Road,New York Central,etc.. I also have routes and equipment from trains I rode while stationed in Europe.. I prefer the Microsoft Train Simulator,(which can still be had in places for about $14,you just have to look.. I can ride in the tail end passenger car of the "City of New Orleans,watch scenery go by(accurate),turn my head and see the bartender shmoosing other passengers over drinks,and hear Arlo Guthrie singing "The City of New Orleans",(which is the soundtrack which came with the FREE trainset!!!!).. I probably have 15 routes,most were free.....[:D]

Star Wars Galaxies 1830 (oldie but oh so good a game, avalable for free downloads around on the net) Transport Tycoon 3 Civ3 Championship Manager 4

Makoto -> RE: Non- wargames you play and why (9/17/2004 1:26:28 AM)
At the moment it's HTTR, IL2 FB and Ace expansion, and Doom3. Been playing around with a few demos lately, Warhammer 40k and Rome TW. My future games look to be Pacific Fighters, Rome Total War, and Conquest of the Aegean.

Hertston -> RE: Non- wargames you play and why (9/17/2004 7:17:07 AM)
Shooter-stuff usually. Currently Joint Operations, Battlefield Vietnam and Red Orchestra (UT2004 mod). Am I really the only one who thinks Doom 3 is complete pants ? 2005 graphics... 1995 gameplay. Yrrrccchhh... I dabble with most genres from time-to-time, except the C&C style RTS games, which I loathe.

Stratomatic... In several Leagues, Past retro types and presentday.. [:D] Looking forward to 1961 in one league where I have Ernie Banks, Ron Santo, Billy Williams, Duke Snider, Mazeroski, and Elston Howard (in his .348 year) Then theres the Civ's Civ, Civ II, Civ III, PTW, Conquests and other Civilization types and explore world and build nation types like still play Colonization etc..

I recently picked up the re-release of Vampire the masquerade a'la the bargain bin. What a great game. Keyboard controls take a little getting used to but good story.

riverbravo -> RE: Non- wargames you play and why (9/24/2004 4:12:03 PM)
Madden,NCAA 2005, why? Its a tradition to have a yearly league in these two games. NASCAR 2003,nobody has topped that as far as sim racing goes.Im stil waiting on a F-1 or an IRL that is up to par with this title. Battlefield Nam and COD just for the sheer mindless killing,its theraputic. My B-day is comin up so no telling whats up.The GF said somthing about Nam 67 for the PS2,I can deal with that.
