1 Find yourself a Game Boy and Tetris on eBay and you will be addicted or months.

2 That assumes I'm willing to get off the web long enough to play. Also, I remember Tetris from the 80s. It didn't hold my attention for long, IIRC.

3 I don't know.... my mom loves tetris. just sayin.

4 Hmmm. I may be off base, but when I think of AG, I'm thinking "shoot-'em-up" games...And that leads me to "Resident Evil 4," "Half Life," "Killzone," "Time Crisis 2," "True Crime-Streets of LA." Cheapest way to play? Befriend a 12-year old boy. We can trust you. Just having a real woman within six feet will change their lives forever. You can get some used PC-based games at Amazon pretty cheap. Read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoot_'em_up to brush up on the different types. see http://www.amazon.com/gp/richpub/listmania/fullview/2G4VA538I1M2Z/104-2579083-2431107?%5Fencoding=UTF8, and other "best" lists for some suggestions.

5 There's one called 'space invaders' that's all the rage with the kids these days. Or so I've heard.

6 Or something like Morrowind.. (Oblivion would require video card/dvd player upgrades.) It's a good FP role playing game that is probably in a lot of bargin bins. System Shock 2 if you can find it... Thief: The Dark Project (again, if you can find it.) JMHO

7 You could always try a game called Kingdom of Drakkar, it's a multiplayer RPG thqat you can DL and play for free, can be a time sink, but it has a lot of good people and is fun to play. PLUS its FREE!

8 Okay, does everyone know that I have a small handicap in this [cough, Macintosh] arena?

9 Well, it depends on what you like, I suppose. Doom 3 is out for the Mac, right? Half-Life 2 is a better FPS and has a better story, but I'm not sure if it has been ported to Mac. Return to Castle Wolfenstein, if available, is also good. If you're into turn-based strategy, whatever the most recent version of Sid Meier's 'Civilisation' series you can get. More than any other game, this one kept me from sleep. For real-time strategy, Warcraft (not World of Warcraft) or Starcraft are still outstanding. I also still play Dune 2000, but them I'm a freak. 'Homeworld' is apparently also good. For MMORPGs, I'd recommend Guild Wars. No monthly subscription fees. Also, despite - because - it is so cheesy, Freedom Force. Beating evildoers senseless was never so much fun.
