Gaming

I started out with text based MUDs and MOOs before the www was invented, and a rather odd (and very basic) graphical game called Syzygy on my Speccy. Fast forward several generations of computers, and I got a DVD drive - I still think the original Lara Croft games were the best computer games ever. Alas, I don’t have time nowadays for much, but I keep my subscription to Second Life up to date.

I like video games and my most favorite game is nintendo 3ds emulator for pc because this game graphic so nice.

Addictive isn't it! And I get really stroppy when "someone tries to help"!

Oh no! I've just tried "Codeword". I'm hooked!

Daily puzzles like sudoko and code word Marydoll ? Love 'em! The Telegraph on Saturday has a page full!

I play Solitaire daily challenge.
Does doing the online Metro daily puzzles count? I especially like doing the crosswords, as they are not too taxing after an exhausting day of childminding DGD. I get withdrawal symptoms at the weekend, as there are no editions.

Do you play mahjong solitaire online Annodomini?

Free Cell is my favourite Solitaire type of game; Majong Solitaire if I need something slightly more challenging.

I've played games from the days of Hover Bover, and the Big Cave Adventure. I like adventure games, I'm useless at fighting games and don't like sim games.

On line Mah jong is my weakness. I play most days. Sometimes solitaire or sudoko.

"World of Warcraft" etc

It was advertising ninathenana. Did you not see the link he posted?

Solitaire on my iPad is the only one I play now but was totally hooked some years ago on an online game called Blademistress - like WoW I had 3 characters - a warrior, mage and sword maker. Sadly it was taken down and I don't have time now to start learning one of the new ones but when I retire ......

guidlines, a bit of an odd post but not sure how it broke guidlines.
Ah well.

I play Word with Friends with a few friends, lots of other word games and sudoku. I also play Solitaire.

Candy Crush, Frozen (even more addictive than CC) which I started with DGD1, something called Bloom the Blossom or something like that and occasionally Solitaire which is a bit boring.

I play them all far too much. As well as GN, Twitter, Instagram.

Oh Nanaandgrampa, I have never had a reaction of Horror when I have let on how old I am. I usually get " That's cool", and we carry on playing :-)I wouldn't like the City building element I don't think. Last expansion introduced a Garrison for your Toons. That bit doesn't interest me too much

I like Pixelogic, but mostly it's Codewords, Words with Friends or Spider Solitaire. They all drive me potty.

Ah I too have played WOW Ilrina but it's not a favourite of mine. Most of what I play has a fighting element but has a city building or world building element. I'm lucky that the players in my alliances let me miss out on the bits I don't like . I currently like Age of Empires and Domination .

Like you most of the players are much younger and I enjoy the online horror when I admit I'm a Nana .

I play for an hour when I wake up with my first coffee of the day and an hour most evening when the dogs getting a walk.

It's just to keep my brain active .

I play solitaire, and before I changed to Microsoft 10 I had a scrabble disc which I could put into my computer and play scrabble against the computer. I only seem to be able to buy the American version now, which I do not want. A very clever young man in our local 'games' shop wrote down the details of how I could use my disc in this computer - lost those of course. Like the jigsaw puzzles.

Always start the day with Solitaire daily challenge.
The other games I like are Wordtrek and Wordcrush.

Interesting replies. Some of these games I don't know, but I play an mmorpg game too NanaandGrampy. I had never played games on the PC until my Son made a trial character for me on WoW ( World of Warcraft). It was only so I could see how clever the game was, the graphics, all that kind of thing. That was six years ago, and I play every night for about 3 or 4 hours. I never watch TV.
I enjoy it for the escapism, but also it requires alot of concentration as my main character is a healer so I need to be on my toes to keep the whole group including myself alive. Great too for hand eye coordination. The average age is about 28, but I have come accross some players older than me( 63). One of my main partners in play, in fact he is my officer in my Guild is a 20 yr old Polish Guy, great to have as an officer as he doesn't forget things like I do .
Another good thing about the game is that many of the players are real techies, they even build their own gaming computers. If I ever have a problem with the PC there is always someone willing to help me sort it out.
I only play in the evenings instead of watching the tele. I have looked at some other games LOTRO, and Diablo spring to mind, but in my opinion nothing compares with WoW.
