Tribes will always be my favorite game.

I totally understand the tribes addiction. I never got it, but in grad school, I had a roommate who was the strategist/leader for one of the top three clans in tribes. He was consumed by it, they had a team practice or a game almost every day, Lasting 4 hours a day or more. Neal was his name, but I don't remember the clan name I played a little, and though the 4ms ping was nice my old computer at the time just couln't keep up.

Its amazing you can go from a twitch of the finger type game to a slow methodical game like SEIV, Atrocities. I always find the former interesting, but they don't hold my attention like the latter.

As for my own nostalgia, amoung computer games I miss my first few the most. Reach for the Stars (the original) I still play sometimes on the Apple II GS when I am home for christmas (that is where the II GS is). It was a spreadsheet but it was fun and it started the 4X experience for me. Oh, and I was way into cyberpunk around this time. A game called Nueromancer for the IIGS was the best adventure game and the best cyberpunk rendition I have seen. Even though noone ever heard of it.

And my first wargame and multiplayer game was the original Empire at a local bookstore after hours in CGA 4 colors: black, white, baby blue, and hot pink
