Okey dokey...

Perhaps I should begin by stating that (compared to other members of the board) I'm old (41) and so's my computer (10 and in need of a serious upgrade!).
With that in mind, here (in no particular order) are my favorite games:
  • Myst (the original release)
  • Riven (the sequel to Myst)
  • DX-Ball 1.7 (WARNING: Highly addictive! Oddly enough, later releases are not half as good. Version 1.7 may not be so easy to find on the Web, though. So, if you're interested, PM me and I'll reply with a temporary link. Don't worry, the maker has authorized re-distribution.)
  • Age of Empires (all versions that my computer can handle. I've never come across a version of this game I didn't like.)
  • Ms. Pac PC (a somewhat updated version of Pac Man)

I've played a bit of Halo on a friends more powerful computer and it seems like a pretty cool game too.
