What are your favorite computer games?

Tweet

I know some of the games available on the computer are also available on the big game consoles like Xbox and Playstation and all that. But what games do you just love to play on your computer? Give us a top 5 or, if you can't narrow it down that much, give us a top 10. Doesn't matter if it's an old game that no one's ever heard of -- what are your favorites? 10 - Haven't played it in years, but I have to put Oregon Trail on my list. It's one of the first computer games I ever played and I loved it so much. 9 - Where in the World is Carmen San Diego. Another one like Oregon Trail -- among the first computer games I ever played and it was so much fun. Educational to a degree, too. 8 - Dream Chronicles. I've played 2 of the 3 versions of this (or are there 4 now?), and really enjoyed them. 7 - Mystery Case Files: Madame Fate. It's a hidden object game with some really interesting and challenging puzzles between the levels. A lot of fun to play and a nice challenge. 6 - Age of Mythology: The Titans. It was fun, but it just wasn't a very long game. I beat it in no time. After playing the first Age of Mythology, it was rather disappointing as far as the length of time the game took. 5 - Zoo Tycoon. I prefer the one with the Marine and Dinosaur park expansions, so I can also create Dinosaur themed zoos or my own version of Sea World if I want to. It's fun and challenging. But not so challenging that my son doesn't enjoy it as well (of course, he tends to fill a pen with elephants, giraffes and zebras... then add a lion and watch it wipe out everything else). 4 - Mystery Case Files: Ravenhearst. I do love hidden object games. Such a fun challenge for the mind and the eyes. This one also had some really interesting puzzles to solve. 3 - Shivers. It's along the lines of Myst and Riven, lots of things to figure out lots of puzzles to solve and an interesting story. 2 - Age of Mythology. Something about building villages and taking them through the ages and waging battle with medusas, centaurs and minotaurs in my army is highly appealing. I've had to replace my copy a few times because my son keeps losing it, fortunately you can get it for about $10 at walmart these days. 1 - Knights of the Old Republic. I just started playing it about a month ago but oh my god is it awesome! As soon as I finished the game, I created a new character and started all over again.
