The following apply:

1. Obssive behavior often associated with the phase, "Just one more turn." - Yes, big time

3. Your partner leaves you because you spend all of your time playing Space Empires. - Yeppers
4. Rapid weight gain. - Almost
5. Lack of desire to bath - For 2 days at most after that the ichyness interupts my train of thoughts
10. You burn up your mouse, and must buy a new one. - Wore out the springs 2 Kensington Track Balls in less than 5 years (which they replaced for free)

11) Has a list of Priortys and playing SE IV is at or near the top.

12) Warned all potential girlfriends of my addiction and made it clear where they stood in priortyes.

One of the more advanced stages of SEIV Addicition is the almost crack cocain like withdrawal syptoms you experience when PBW is down.

I had Red Storm Rising for the PC. Great submarine game.

One of the best, most thrilling, spine tingling games that I have ever played was the Alien Vs Predator of the The Atari Jaguar. I am telling you that game stood hair on end in places that I did not think possible. I actually recorded myself playing it from star to finish on a VCR. I can remember when we had no clue as to what to do or where to go, and then you hear it, that unmistakeable purring sound of a predator. He is near by and you like hell to get away. The trip through the Alien mother ship was especially frightening. This game scared me more than any game since. I still get chills think about it.

Sim City 3 UL. This game has got to be one of the best of the series. IT was fun, easy, difficult, playable. Unlike SC4 that is not fun at all.

System Shock II. NOW THIS GAME, is a damned good example of excellent game making. It has a good story, excellent game play, awsome playability and so on. I especially enjoyed it, and just finished playing it again. Now on to DeusEX again.

BOTF. One of the most under appreciated games of all time. For a star trek game it had a lot to offer, but the lawsuites over the Civilization licenses torpedo Microprose and the game was never supported.

Rebellion by Lucas Arts was for all intents and pruposes the first game that I was ever addicted to. Back in 98 when it came out I would stay awayke after work for hour playing it. I loved the game and wish I could have found the fan base sooner than I did. The game had a horrendous learning curve, but once learned, it was a lot of fun to play. I do miss it so.

Doom. Nuff said.

Freespace I - An excellent game that really set the standard for space flight sims.

Zelda and the Legend of Zelda were two of Nintendo finest games. they don't make them like that any more.

Ditto! This game has the best music I've ever heard too since it is linked to the plot not just background crap. When you hear that erie music start up you know something bad is about to happen!
