    You´re absolutely right. I´m young, and I waste all my time playing games I´ve already completed a year ago.
    But it´s so much fun completing them again. I can´t stop myself from doing it.

    Downloaded the demo, the game is really slow. Turn based combat ... yuck.

    I also didn't like the fact the camera will not stay centered, it switches around to all units that have a movement option, etc when you just want it to stay centered on your fing town.

    It looked to have an in-depth system of religions, etc I just can't get past the slowness of the game or the annoying camera though.

    I'll stick with real time strategy games.

    The first computer game I ever played was 'Mean 18 Golf' on the Apple II. That game was amazing.

    My first is actually Dungeon Keeper. It´s the second best game in the world, only beaten by Arcanum.

    The first game i ever played was colonization by sid meier. Briliant game when you are twlve years old. Then a little red alert, before a friend of mine said" Hey why don't you try this, it is called fallout." Nothing better than fallout.

    PS my friend actually gave me the cd. For that i'm enternally gratefull.

    I don't really know what my first game was. The earliest I remember was saboteur, robin hood and tutenhamon on the ZX-Spectrum. First pc games: Prince of Persia 1 and Operation Wolf.

    The first computer game I ever played, with the exception of Battle Chess and Reader Rabbit, was a nice old gem known as Sim City. God that's a good fucking game.

    The first pc game I can remember playing is Prince of Persia 1.

    [edit]: Well, look who's back! *throws the bear a seal*

    turn-based strategy is a particular taste. you either love it, or hate it. i'm no good at RTS, i enjoy the slower pace with which to grind my opponents into dust... of course, i also play on an easier difficulty then i need. i don't really want to be challenged, i just want to smash things and feel superior.

    My first game must have been either Prince of Persia 1 (with those amazing sounds) or Carmen Sandiego.

    I think he was trying to quit the habit, remember he'd got rid of his avatar?

    You're really close to a ban now.

    Wolfsbane: How old are you really? Dungeon Keeper is pretty new, isn't it?

    The first game I played was some tic-tac-toe at a friends house, they left their computer unoccupied for a while and I ran there, I think I was six or seven then.
