Do you play games...of the computer variety?

I liked 'Gunman Chronicles' - and I finished it!
....it isn't quite what it sounds like and had a good ending.

Anybody had 'Urban Chaos'?

Oh dear! I am likely to betray myself a bit on this one. My favourites are "Total Annihilation" and "Civilization II". The former is a bit of a "boy" game.

MY grandson introduced me to Minecraft! He's 11, and he has sent some ideas - haven't had an update yet on that.

I can't get into computer games. Our sons try to get both of us interested but to no avail. Mind you, I never liked chess either, nor card games.

The lads are quite disappointed in us and reckon we are missing out.

I just like gabbing on forums!!

My 8-year-old GS (trainee geek) is a Minecraft buff and has worked out how to fiddle around with programming. I suspect he'd have a lot in common with your GS, when. His 7-year-old cousin is beginning to take an interest too.

I have Angry Birds on my phone but the screen is too small. It took my youngest grandson, then just 4, to explain how it worked.

when that's great for your Grandson, inspiring. Well done the school too for progressive thinking. My son, the one I used to play computer games with, has a big, proper job now but one of his first was for EA Games and he worked on the first Harry Potter game. It was interesting for him to see games from another perspective.

Has anyone found 'Angry Gran' yet? I discovered my grandson giggling over it with his dad! I've got it on my iPad now. Very disrespectful of grannies at the beginning, but such good fun

Alie my son and grandson went to the Disneyworld, Paris Minecon Minecraft Convention 2012, last month. My grandson is addicted to it. He met the main developers of the game, including Captain Sparklez and had the most fanastic time. It's done wonders for his programmng and coding skills, as there were lots of seminars and teaching sessions, and the school approved him having two days of the school term off. I have watched him using it in awe. He has made some quite sophisticated devices on there.

Now and again I have a go at Scrabble and Who Wants to be a Millionaire, but, as a simple soul, I regularly play Goldminer..............told you I was simple!

Oh yes anno. Violet is the baby's name as I remember. Lovely victorian name.

gracesmum if you do hear from her, mention Kate Walker and the mammoths..{fsmile]

I love Angry Birds, and I have completed all the games, including Star Wars. It's fantastic when I'm in an insomniac phase.

I have and still love Scrabble, and an app which downloads crosswords daily, and various other word games.

Glad to hear that syberia is OK, gracesmum.

I'm glad about that, gracesmum. She had a little new granddaughter last time we heard from her, I think.

I play Minecraft. I either build houses or go exploring for miles....it's like my childhood thing, about drawing my own island, has come in 3D!

(I DON'T go about killing monsters on this. The monsters are pants.)

Say 'hello' from me Gracesmum. I remember Syberia well. Lovely Gransnetter - it would be nice if she visited again

I still hear from Syberia as it happens - not all Grannies disappear.

Before I posted this I searched, 'pc games' and a user named 'syberia' came up. Seems like she's disappeared..but 'Syberia' was a great game. one of my favourites. Granny23 I do a lot similar, against the clock in the hope it keeps me mentally active.

The games I'm talking about though, were very immersive - like being in a book, but them some

I am an avid gamer but have never been in the closet. I have had to give up my Gameboy and DS as poor eyesight and arthritic fingers have worsened but still playing away on my PC. Current favourities are Sims Medieval and Ores and I try to do 3 sudoku against the clock every day for the benefit of the old grey cells.

Ooh! I like the sound of Zombie Granny...

Definitely. Gameboy, then DS now iPad. And PC. I like the ones that tell you how much of your life you have wasted since you logged on. My dear GS are all much, much better than me at Angry Birds, Bunny Shooter, Temple Run, Fruit Ninja, Zombie Granny.........
