This will probably get moved by the mods, but I'll bite:

Just bought Eternal Darkness for the GameCube. It's phat.

Always loved the Heroes of Might and Magic series, still need to get my hands on HOMM4.

and...Board Games! yuk yuk
Anyone play Acquire?

Papa Chubby · June 27, 2002, 10:40

While not playing Civ3 I mostly play other strategy games, Cossack f.ex. even though it is real-time. It is very good, and with all those individual units trouncing about makes you feel pretty important. Then there is Master of Orion, both 1 and 2, good games, can´t wait until they release the third one, guess I have to. Then if I need a quick fix of action I shoot project IGI or Hitman, good games with allot of close-ups of people getting shot in the head. Don´t know why that is so satisfying, must get back on prozac.

SpencerH · June 27, 2002, 10:47

Right now, just Total War.

In the next few months WC3, mediaval war, age of mythology.

Pillager · June 27, 2002, 11:49

Nothing. I have 'patches' of games, where I play a game to the exclusion of all others. Right now it's Civ III, two months ago it was EU, before that Cossacks, and before that EU again.

Andreiguy · June 27, 2002, 11:58

EU2 is great, but sometimes it just gets boring for me. 10, 20, 50, 100 years of nothing happening!

Jon Shafer · June 27, 2002, 12:26

Let's see, what am I playing now... Cossacks, EU2, Civ III and Chrono Cross at the moment. Mostly Civ and CC though right now.

Thrawn05 · June 27, 2002, 12:49

Civ3
Rebellian
Quake III
AL|ENS v. Predator
TIE Fighter
MechWarrior 4
The Dig
Sam n' Max
Dark Forces
Dark Forces II, Jedi Knight
Total Annihilation
Force Commander

I think that's all...

Jaybe · June 27, 2002, 13:16

What! There are other games than Civ3???

Seriously, I have only found any fulfillment in turn-based strategy (or operational) games. I am way too slow (in mind & in coordination) to compete in real-time games.

The only turn-based strategy games I have gotten into at all in the last few years are civ and CtP.

dunk · June 27, 2002, 13:16

Dungeon Siege
Pool of Radiance
Quake III
SMAC

That's about it for right now.

EarnhardtFan · June 27, 2002, 13:28

For me it's IL-2 Sturmovik. Probably the best combat flight sim I have ever played. I also play Silent Hunter II from titme to time along with NASCAR Racing 2002.

Alex · June 27, 2002, 13:37

SMAC.
FIFA 2002.
Occasionally, Return to Castle Wolfenstein (just to relax) Icewind Dale and Grand Prix 3.

opaque · June 27, 2002, 17:32

Space05us · June 27, 2002, 17:44

Is that any better then Wizardry V?

Tuberski · June 27, 2002, 20:05

Morrowind, exclusively.

loinburger · June 27, 2002, 20:53

At the moment, just Morrowind (when I get my computer fixed, anyway). Before that, I played Thief, Total Annihilation, NetHack, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Half-Life (mostly Team Fortress), Deus Ex, and Grand Theft Auto 3. Every now and then I'll search around for some emulated games, like Chrono Trigger or Zelda: Link to the Past, but it's generally too much trouble to find them.

August Borms · June 27, 2002, 21:25

Europa Universalis 2
and MOH:AA

dnassman · June 27, 2002, 23:37

I play civ3 only as don't have time for anything else until the much anticipated Warcraft3 is released hopefully next week. Pre-orders for the game are over 4.5 million!!! Think that is unbelievable.

Tamerlin · June 28, 2002, 04:06

Call to Power 2 (with Super Apolyton Pack Mod)
Steel Panthers : World at War
Space Empires IV Gold
Panzer General 2
People's General 2
Pacific General
Close Combat 2

I have many games I have not tested yet (shame on me) :

EU
EU2
SMAC/X
Close Combat 3-4
Imperialism 2
Modded Call to Power I
...

I have been so disappointed by Civ3 I will certainly play again Civ2 : ToT

chronocrator · June 28, 2002, 05:12

Right now I play HoMM4 or for fast fun: Red Alert2 Yuri's Revenge.

Soon (all these games are supposed to be released in Q3) It'll probably be Age of Mythology, Praetorians, SC4 or Imperium Galactica 3 - depending on reviews.

However the Colonization 2 Project doesn't allow me to play as much as I would like.

Lemmy · June 28, 2002, 05:27

GTA3 and Morrowind

I've got some other games on my hd that i want to play as soon as i get some more time:
Capitalism 2
Empire Earth
SimGolf

and i'm thinking of playing SE4Gold again, maybe make a mod for it. But i tihkn i'll first want to finish GTA3

Andemagne · June 28, 2002, 05:39

I have been pretty much "clean" from gaming for last months (thanks to rehab

), but a little civ2 and found SMAC again 2 weeks ago.

Vlad Antlerkov · June 28, 2002, 09:01

Civ II
Command & Conquer Tiberian Sun
Diablo
Civ III
The Sims
RPG Maker
SMAC/X

da_jaymz · June 28, 2002, 09:06

Right now Age of Wonders 2 is taking most of my time....and I play Fifa WC 2002 when my friends are around..
Other than that..just for simple time killing i play Ricochet and DX Ball 2..

Juggler · June 28, 2002, 09:23

Civ2 and BG1 + ToSC (still have to finish some quests). Solitare when I get bored.

Standup · June 28, 2002, 11:14

Mainly Championship Manager with a bit of BG2 and a hint of HOMM4 and Morrowind.

Tends to go in stages and i'm hoping to give EU2 and Trade Empires a proper look soon as they've been sat on the shelf for quite some time.

Andreiguy · June 28, 2002, 12:37

lol...i just opened up Civ 1, its actually pretty fun, it has that amazing quality about it
...but after a while i find myself longing for civ3...

Mr. President · June 28, 2002, 22:43

Civilization II: Test of Time, Alpha Centauri, SimCity 3000, SimTower. Once in a while I open up SimAnt, SimEarth, Spectre, Spin Doctor, and WarCraft II.
