Do you play any computer games or simulators?
Had and used Nascar 2003 simulator for a couple of years. Great racing simulator---had the steering wheel/pedals, etc. Could design/paint your own cars. Sold it after awhile; but, sometimes wish I still had it.
I do use Combat Flight Simulator 3 (Battle for Europe) from time to time. Enjoy blowing up the Germans.

Nope.
The last computer game I played was that brand-new "Space Invaders" thing in the arcade.0 -
I did F1 2002. It was great because I really gained better understanding of the driver's perspective.
My favorite is Silent Hunter 3. The extreme difficulty the German U-Boats faced with the war starting fairly easy and getting harder to impossible suits game play perfectly.
The better graphics of SH4 as a Yank in the Pacific is not near as good as it starts harder and gets easier the opposite of game play.
I have done many mods for CFS3 over 5 years and that has cured me of doing future things for others. CFS3 sux as a stock game but the many improvements by freeware devs has made it the best combat flight sim. IL-2 people will disagree but they also have not played it with mods like stand alone WWI-Off to name a few.
BTW I play everything at the max difficulty possible. It makes it so challenging and keeps interest high!!

I used to play a bunch of Operation Flash Point. But all I seem to do on the computer these days is talk to all of you. I do enjoy playing IL-2 when I visit my brother. 0 -
i played runescape until they "upgraded" it, for some reason the graphics give me a headache, online games can be very addictive 0 -
I have EA Sports Bass Fishing and Turkey & Deer Hunting on my computer. 0 -
I wiped my computer clean of games. The multiplayer games were getting addictive and I was wasting too much time. For a while there, I was playing Call of Duty, Battlefield 1942, and the Delta Force series. 0 -
I play some as I rarely watch tv. It's good for the soul the bust some caps from time to time. Right now I'm using combat flight simulator 2 and blasting the Japs out of the sky! 0 -
I have found that the fast-paced, interesting, and challenging game of "Frogger" keeps me entranced for hours at a time.
Soon, I will be up to level 2.

naahh, I much prefer to play pool or cards instead. computer games don't have enough to do with real world skills to be interesting to me. when I have extra time to myself (such as what you would use computer games for), I'll read history or philosophy books. right now I'm reading up on early world history (babylonian thru roman periods) and later on I want to learn about medieval scholasticism and greek methods of dialectic reasoning. 0 -
I don't watch tv either. 0 -
I play games especially while at work. 0 -

Part of my interview was teaching how to work the TV they put here for our entertainment. Hey I did my time offshore now I get to sit back and run these stands. [;)]0 -

I like to play WWII shooters like Call of Duty and Medal of Honor series.
My flight sim of choice is currently Il-2 Sturmovik and Pacific Fighters (same developer and game engine)
I like to frag little panzy-tanks in my IL-2 and shoot down Zekes in a Corsair [:D]0 -
Return to Castle Wolfenstein on PC (best WW2 shootout I've ever bought) 0 -
Combat Flight Simulator 1 & 2
Flight Simulator 2000, 2002, 2004 and a beta tester on FSX and Acceleration
Battlefield 1942, Vietnam, 2, 2142
Counter Strike: Source

Counterstrike:Source.....So addictive 0 -
I still use my Commodore 64 with 5.25" floppydisk and tapedrive.. =o) 0 -
Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault. Like it better than original series b/c once your health gets pretty low, you can call for the corpsman to patch you up, or bandage yourself. Nowhere near as many health packs laying around on the ground. Also, the weapons are neat, like that bayonet on the Arisaka. 0 -

+1 I used to be badly addicted to computer games and was wasting my life playing them. I quit cold turkey 5+ years ago and haven't played since.0 -
PC - Operation OverKill
XBOX 360 - HALO 30 -
hhmmm, maybe saxonpig is really one of those newly minted moderators, he really was (which one) all along, now that (which one) is officially a mod, he just quit logging on as saxonpig.
naahh.....it would be difficult to hide that sparkling personality.0 -
I like old games better. Circa 1991-98. The new stuff just has too much in it, it takes months to learn how to play to the point that the details detract from gameplay.
My favorites:
Aces of the Deep
Civil War Generals II: Grant, Lee, Sherman
Eastern Front
Panzer General II (all sorts of web fan based upgrades exist)
Panzer General I
No Greater Glory: The American Civil War
Hearts of Iron (pushing the 'complex' threshold for me)
Red Baron
Warcraft
Warcraft II
Starcraft
I also have a bunch of other old DOS games that I'm thinking of dusting off and running in DOSbox, a great freeware program.0
