For any pokemon fans...

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky. What is it?

A spinoff game.
A deviation from the main series' playstyle.
A POKEMON ROGUELIKE. No shitting! Well, suffice to say it
shares a lot of qualities with roguelikes. Permanent death
is not one of them though

I'm not quite sure if I want to gush about how awesome
I think it is - it'll sound like I'm giving a review or something

If you like cars, do give this a go (PC sim, one of the most realistic driving sims around):

3 developpers only , brilliant simulation and ongoing project for around 10 years.
Not free, but cheap. The demo is not time limited and gives you a good taste.

Civ. I II and III, but really, IV is the bomb. Especially playing MODs - its like 100 wholly new games in one. Do try out "Fall from heaven II" - mod. Fantasy units, spells. Wow.

Master of Orion. Both I and II, never played 3, heard it was bad.

X-Com. Both I and II. I got to be too easy after a lil while, but boy the suspense. Playing along, after midnight in a dark basement...got a few shocks going through doors and getting shot by aliens. Great. II was also good. Only problem was mind control - game got to be a lot less scary after that (used aliens as scouts - no real risk). III didn't have the same suspense, and once you got the anti-alien-(biotoxin?) guns you could just fire away all the time, no worry about friently fire. Which is not what I liked about I and II. There better guns meant more harm to my team when the "new guy" tried to take a snapshot at distant enemy.

MUDs. Oh. I've wasted too much time on that. Good thing about ADOM - just save and you're out. Multi-user dungeons - when you are deep in the lair of Tiamat, the multi-headed dragon, and you know that if your group of 20 can take her down, you will be able to touch the stone and advance to level 51 (which is a fair bit better than 50...new spells and stuff), then it is hard to just walk away. Also raiding the evil hometown, and getting hit by bodyslamming ogres, githyanki psionicists and some drow elf magi - you need to stay alert and fast to survive. So. Great fun, lot of time wasted.

As Molach said MUDs are good. I used to play BatMUD quite a lot and I still think it is the best game ever made. It's just that I got bored of it.

Nowadays I play Titan Quest- Immortal throne a lot. Currently my character is in the beginning of epic (normal->epic->legendary). I once had better characters but lost them due hard drive failure.

Obviously I play a lot of ADOM too and those two games are about it. Nothing else at the moment.

Oh sweet, some good times come up when looking back.

Some of the games i really enjoyed playing includes

Master of orion 2. that we currently started playing with multi online.

Alpha centaur. maybe there is just some thing with the scifi theme that calls me more than regular civ.

Dominions: priest prophets & pretenders. (aka dominions 1 ) dom3 was mentioned earlier in the line but i still think this kicks ass..

Space empire III / V. kinda close to moo actually.

Empire total war. Ships ahoi and now with multi campaign only it bugs so hard that its not even sad...

Ikari warriors. on C64 was so awesome...

Star control 2. also one tiny ship and vastness of space ahead

Privateer. jump in on a space ship trade war change world

well i could go on but guess that gives hint what kinda games i played and liked

[Molach]

I forgot to add: Good ole pirates! on C64. One of my most-played games on that thing.
And of course all those "RPG"s. Bards tale II and III. Pool of radiance (best)/Silver blades/...that last one.

My MUD of choice was Duris. Full pkill/racewar theme. You build a character, yes, but your equipment you risk every time you leave your hometown.
Heres a battle log from today. Its from the (losing) good race wizard "raest"'s perspective, so all fellow "goodie" races are shown by name, evil fellows just by the race. "fat duck" is really a disguised, clever illusionist. Air elementals are NPC pets summoned by an evil (Drow) conjurer.
