Default Re: OT: any other games?

My gaming habits depend on my mood. Lately, I've mostly been playing Xconq, esp. the "Bellum Aeternum" module and the Cobra/Cherbourg scenarios from the WWII module. I'll fire up King of Dragon Pass every so often, when the bug strikes me. If I'm looking for something shorter and more hectic, it'll likely be Mechwarrior III instant battles.

Very similar features, yet very different gameplay.

Try: http://stars.lelv30.net/

Both the glory of and the real problem with Stars! is that it appealed to the sort of geeks capable of analyzing it to death

If you want an entertaining (and FREE) diVersion why not go back and play some roguelikes?

Angband and its many varients usually pull in people for a good amount of time.

Check it out, you won't be sorry

For roguelikes, try ADOM. It is very good, but hard. I have played for many years, never completed it, and only once got a character to max level(50). Of course, that character died soon after... You might want to check the newsGroups for them. rec.games.roguelikes.adom for ADOM, not sure for Angband but propably in .roguelikes too. And www.adom.de is the homepage. BTW, IW links to it...

Other games I play are X-com Gold Version, Dominions(not very much now, though) and I'm trying to find time for Baldur's Gate.

Baldur's gate 2 or 1? I found 2 much more enjoyable. More so than any rpg to follow it so far.
