Other Games?

[Oddysey]

Does anyone here play games other than the Sims 2? And does anyone mod games other than Sims?

I play an occasional hour or two of Diablo 2 or Diablo (D1 is better.) and whatever my little brother happens to have on my desktop. I also play Sim City, but I haven't been able to do that for a while because the CD is cracked and I haven't wanted to buy a new one. Oh, and recently I've been playing City of Heroes. But mostly I'm a simmer.

Primarily I like games that involve some amount of ordinance--James Bond is always great (fan of the movies first), and I've taken to Grand Theft Auto ever since I turned 17.  Racing games are fun, but whenever I'm in control, the cars always suffer from violent virtual axle meltdowns, and spin completely out of control when I do so much as run into a stop sign or random pedestrians.

I'm a big Sci Fi fan, so I have a lot of Star Trek/Wars games, and an waiting for the Stargate game to come out in the fall (SG-1 and Atlantis are my favorite TV shows).

The only thing I don't play are sports games, the reason being that in real life I suck horribly at sports, so I figure that in video game sports, I will manage to set the entire stadium on fire and cause my team to lost by something like 8 million points in the first quarter.

I play Sims and 1602 and 1503...I like games without much violence.

[dizzy]

I like Doom 3, Half-Life 2 and Battle for Middle Earth (you know, really violent games). 

Sims is like taking a break from playing. Let the computer play with itself for a while if you know what I mean.

[J. M. Pescado]

Letting the computer play itself only works if you have Macrotastics. Otherwise the Sim AI is so retarded that I'm ultimately forced to intervene, pretty much constantly. Me, I play all sorts of stuff. My latest thing is Pirates!. For some reason it's strangely addictive despite how repetitive it is.

Other ganes?
I am afraid that I do not understand this concept of other games.

[Oddysey]

Ooh. Pirates. That's supposed to be a pretty good game. Is it the new version or the old version? (I think there are two, the latest by Sid Meiers. Could be wrong, though.)

Besides Sims2, the other game i'm playing at the moment is Microsoft Freelancer MultiPlayer.  I'm playing the Asgard Mod v3.

[jrd]

I play a bit of Sid Oh Look At Me I Am So Cool I Have My Name In A Game Title Meier's Pirates! now and then (although it's just a couple of minigames in sequence, it is a lot of fun). Also trying my hand at GTA:San Andreas, and Crusader Kings.
I'm thinking of starting a new campaign in Victoria, but Paradox games are even more addictive than The Sims...

[Sleepycat]

well I have some other games and I'm sure I will like them if I ever get around to installing them an stuff 

[cwieberdink]

Oooh, I love "girl games" LOL.  Ya know, the boring point and click adventures.... Longest Journey (NOT BORING!), Syberia, etc.  Story games, really.  I also loved No One Lives Forever and the Matrix game (which I actually played on a console).  I think I'd like Max Payne and Tomb Raider too if I had the time.

Hummm.  I used to be a Tomb Raider Freak, but then I bought a real computer and Hubby bought me this cute little game, "The Sims Deluxe" for Christmas a few years ago and I forgot what Lara Croft looks like.  (And no, it is not Angelina Jolie).  Though I did make Lara as a sim, once.   

[themaltesebippy]

I don't play any other PC games but The Sims2 but I play Mortal Kombat and Blood Omen on PS2.

[veilchen]

I do believe that my computer would get up and leave if I installed anything else on it, but my daughter makes me play Metroid on her GC, where I regularly get wiped out at level 1 to 1 1/2 (okay, so I exaggerated a little, it's really level 2 to 2 1/2 :P)

Other... games?

In the past I was a Sonic girl, I still have the games knocking about, but never play. I've got Tomb Raider 3 and the Last Revalation on here, but again I never play. The Sims pretty much took over once I discovered it's existance. *shakes head* I did go through a SimCity 3000 phase when that came out, but I got rid of that...

[InLieuOfFlowers]

I played the new version of Pirates! for quite a while, but my cats hated the sounds that it generated, so I stopped.  Ok, so that's not really why...  it had more to do with finding Pescado's hacks, thus making Sims2 so much more interesting and enjoyable, or something along those lines.

I also enjoyed Meier's Civilization III.  I found that it's almost as addictive as Sims2. 

Down the road, I plan to play the copy World of Warcraft that my husband bought for me quite some time ago.  That is, I'll be playing it as soon as I can tear myself away from Sims2.

I started playing ER a few weeks ago, and it was pretty fun.  It reminded me a bit of the Sims, but I misssed some of the control and I definitely wished I had macrtastics, hehe.  I got tired of Sims 2 for 1 or 2 days when I got frustrated with something and I played ER, but then I finally fixed whatever it was and I missed my sims when I was in ER!  So I haven't played it in a few days.  I like puzzle games like Zuma and Bubble shooter, but I don't really play a lot of "big" games except for the Sims.  When I first got my computer, I got a shareware version of "Jill of the Jungle" and I loved that.  It's one of the few games I actually played all the way through.  I got Jazz Jackrabbit from Epic Megagames, the same people that made Jill, and I liked it but got frustrated wtih it and gave up on it.  I saw the original Sims on Tech TV, I think it was, and I got my first copy of it that weekend, and the rest is history, as they say.  I could never get into the first person shooter games that my ex liked to play.  Games like Unreal literally make me dizzy and nauseous.

Ohh, my first game addiction was Tetris on the Game Boy. 

Is there any way to edit our posts?

[J. M. Pescado]

The modify button doesn't work?

[RainbowTigress]

It probably would if I could see it, but I don't.  Where is it??


Wow it just appeared!!!

[J. M. Pescado]

It's usually on the title of your post, quote/modify/etc? You don't see it?

[RainbowTigress]

Well, I haven't been seeing it.  I just refreshed this page and saw them for the first time.  But it's gone again.

Rainbow's not blind.  I can't see it either.  And I wanted to edit an earlier post and just gave up trying to figure out how.

edited to add:  of course, as soon as I posted this.... it magically appeared!  You trolling for idiots JM?  Toying with our minds?  heh.  Well, this post is modified anyway.

if i had time for other games, and disk space, flight simulator, (i crash real good) and train simulator( i crash real good) would be my first choices.  they were able to coexist with ts1 but ts2 is not willing to share.  yet.

Yah, I may be nearsighted, but I'm not blind (yet).
