    What's Your Favorite Computer Game?

    And why? 

     Mine is Peggle Deluxe.  It's a pachinko-like game where you aim and drop balls to try to knock out all the pegs of a particular color (with some special pegs giving you extra abilities).  It's very challenging, with many ways to play and lots of levels.  It also has no violence, pleasant sound effects, and almost cloyingly sweet, intensely colorful graphics.

     Bride, I'd have to say it's Sim City 3000.  I've been playing that since it came out - 10 years ago?  or so?  I like it because it is different every time you play it, whether you use the pre-existing city plans or start from scratch and make your own terrain.  Plus the cheats are good!  

    I much prefer puzzle-type games - not much for the shoot-em-ups.  Big Fish has a pretty good assortment of those.

    Got hooked for a while on the hidden-object games but have sworn off them as they are all basically alike, tho with slightly different twists. 

    I played Peggle when it came out - didn't want to pay what Popcap wanted to download it!

     I like the "Mysteryville" type right now.  I, also, play stuff on Pogo.  

    Why?  I like the puzzle type games.  My reflexes with the mouse are not good for arcade type games. 

     I have Hoyle Card and Board games too.  I like them.  Backgammon, Canasta, and Spades are my favorites.

    I always go back to Bejeweled 2.

    Oops, I forgot the "why".  I like it because it's fast and the higher your score more levels open up.  I also like the colors:)

    I like Myst Uru:  Complete Chronicles, some of the mahjongg games -- and like Angle_Food, I always go back to Bejeweled 2.

     

    I like the colors and the noise!

    Well, being a former Dungeons & Dragons player, my favorite games are the vast, intricate role-playing games like Might & Magic. 

    I also like Hasbro's Smart Games which has a nice collection of word, trivia and logic puzzles.

    Mah Jong...usually shortly after I get up, it gets my brain going.  Well, gets it going as much as it gets going.  LOL

    I was wanting to play Deal or no Deal but I can't find it.  I thought I had it saved on my favorites but seems to have disappeared.  When I type in Deal or no Deal.com it seems to be different than what I played before or something.  Looks like you have to pay to play maybe.  Anyone else play that and where do you find it.

    Been playing Bloxorz lately, but reached the final level a few days ago.  Always loved bejeweled and forgot about book worm - so thanks for the reminder.  Like mahjog and monkey bloons.

    Will have to give peggle a try.

    I do not play any computer games, lucky if I can get in here. I have done a couple of puzzles in the past, that's about it.
