I have no personal experience of any of these games. http://home.comcast.net/~SupportCD/XPGames.html
edit: I've just realised that I do have one of these games "MahJongg Solitaire 3D" which I can recommend for taking your mind off other things. ;D
A paradise for gamers, Noreen, of which I am not one either! :thumb:
Well, that makes three of us then... Puritanical bunch, aren't we. :)

actually four now ;D
But have none of you EVER played computer games?
If you exclude Solitaire, Noreen, then no - not one. I've always thought of them as a waste of good processor cycles.

snap, I just have no interest in gaming whatsoever
Well, up to a few years ago I just loved playing computer RPGs and some strategy games. I still have "Morrowind" and "Civilization IV" on the computer in case I ever feel like going back to them. I also have "Pretty Good Solitaire" which has many solitaire card games (one of the best) and MahJongg Solitaire 3D as mentioned previously.
I always thought an RPG was a rocket-propelled grenade. I didn't have you down for being warlike, Noreen. ;)
"Morrowind" was one of the most popular RPGs ever, basically I think because you could virtually do whatever you liked rather than follow a set storyline, very absorbing.
You might be interested in "Pretty Good Solitaire", Rik, it has 700 games! http://www.goodsol.com/
Does it have the same security advantages as PGP? ;)
Let your imagination run free, Rik. >:D http://www.elderscrolls.com/games/morrowind_overview.htm
I don't have an imagination, Noreen, I'm very stodgy. Could never get into Lord of the Rings, for example - fantasy and me just don't seem to go together. :'(
That really is a shame, Rik. Still, it's a good thing that we're not all the same isn't it? :)
Must admit that I've never gone in for RPGs - I much prefer the games that I can just play without thinking too much. But then that may be because thinking hurts (I'll say it before someone else does) ;D

True enough. My passion has always been music, I guess that's where I tend to escape to.

Another free games site worth looking at (if you're into that kind of thing:
http://www.smiliegames.com/
I used to like some of the point and click puzzle type games, such as Monkey Island, Broken Sword, and the first three Harry Potterr, but I simply don't have time for them now. I hate sports games or shoot 'em ups. The first ever game I played, was Lemmings.
I love RTS games, C&C, Red alert, Age Of Empies, Supreme Commander I can loose hours to these once I start ::)
That's the trouble, Malc. It costs at least 2 hours to turn the computer on these days. ::)
Is that kWh, Simon? Wow, that's some beast you're running there. :)

Aah, I do miss the piratical ineptitude of Guybrush Threepwood and the genuine humour of the Monkey Island series.
On the last version I played (PS2), I was chuffed that the phrase; "I am rubber, you are glue" was still there but slightly disappointed that it didn't crash the system. And sadly, the graphics were quite good.
I recently played the original Monkey Island on an XP box after googling "Scumm". :whistle:
Simon the Sorcerer was another one, but the graphics on it were fairly rubbish. :)
