All budget games: Jagged Alliance2, Driver and Typing of the Dead (fun game, kill zombies whilst learning to fasttype )

Let's see Eastern Front 2 and CtP of course (I call that a non-civ game), but I managed to sell that one to another hapless victim (another lesson learned! )


Or did I buy CtP the year before that? Can't remember really...

You mean the boardgame? or the card game? Played the card game on several occasions, more interesting than Magic in some aspects like building up a powerstructure.

Hmm..I constantly play the following games I purchased this year

A.O.E.: The Conquerors Expansion

Rogue Spear Add on: Urban Ops

SWAT 3: Elite Edition

Dune 2000


But I'll be completely honest, I am a Die Hard Civ Fan and play CTP:2 constantly, modding as I go to experience different game styles.

At least half of them were off Ebay, and 25% from Bargain Bin, so don't think I have money bursting out of my pockets.

It was a slow year for me as far as new games go, only two: Sim City 3000, which as others have noted was a disapointment, and Ceasar III which I thought was great fun.

Sid Meier's Civil War Collection.
Imperialism II.
Sid Meier's Gettysburg.
West Front.
A "Star Fleet" type game (for someone else)

None of the above function correctly.

Axis and Allies.
Total Annihilation.
Total Annihilation; Kingdoms.
Gangsters.

These do work.

Ugh, I buy far too many games. I must be the retailers dream customer because I don't seem to find anything that can hook me for more than a month. If it was a RPG, I bought it. If it was a TBS, I bought it. If it was a wargame, I probably bought it. Thank goodness I'm finally sick of RTS so I didn't buy even the new C&C or AoE titles. The memorable purchases:

Deus Ex (awesome)
Space Empires IV
System Shock II
Shogun
Age of Wonders
Planescape: Torment
Baldurs Gate II
Icewind Dale
Majesty
Panzer General 3D
Sudden Strike
Wizards & Warriors
Diablo II
HoMM 3
Might & Magic VIII
Everquest: Kunark
CtP2
Final Fantasy VIII

Then when I completed all of those or took all the buggy ones back to the stores I played more Civ 2 and downloaded some abandonware
