Computer games anyone?
      #299650 - 07/01/2009 12:10

I love Adventure games! I have athe Broken Sword Trilogy and all the Myst games. I got Myst V, End of Ages for Christmas so I'm loading that to the laptop so I can do something whilst I shiver.

Anyone else play?

Well I never! I would never have had you down as a gamer, Mrs T...you are constantly surprising me (not a bad thing, eh?)

Apart from mah jong and chess and solitare, I've never played a computer game...what's the attraction?

Puzzles Ashbee! Puzzles to drive you mad! You have an inventory of things at your disposal which you can use to unlock things etc.

I don't like shoot up fighting things, just clever puzzle adventure games. The Myst series is breathtaking in its graphics and I immerse myself in it for ages. Frustrating too, but very clever.

I'm glad to be a surprise

Scrabble on facebook is the only thing I play really. But, I do get bored easily, so give up after a while! xx

Are they playing games via Facebook now? So are you playing against a live person and not just the computer? My mum plays against the computer which is pointless as it comes up with all sorts of weird words...

Mrs T - I like a good puzzle myself. I remember I played a startrek game years ago which was much along the same lines...any other surprises up your sleeve m'dear? Mud wrestling? Five husbands on the go at once? Cheese making from yak milk?

I love them. Often play on shockwave or other game sites.
