Just curious. I had a lot of fun games on PC that I loved, specifically Combat Flight sims. I just wanted to know what all do you guys enjoy?

I play Tiger Woods Golf 2003, Enigmo (great puzzle game), and Warcraft 3 The Frozen Throne! Powerbook 1.25 AL. Good times, especially on business trips (golf and puzzle) or when i have a good internet reception for wirless, War 3 Battle.net.

I'm stuck on Enigmo level 48! AAAAHHHHH!

Good game, although the music will get to you eventually.

I've recently been playing some Spy Hunter, it's good.

Most of my gaming is done on the Xbox, Halo is the mother of all games.

Enigmo was great fun, but way too addictive. Finished all the levels in a few days, I just couldn't tear myself away. Anyone else see the drops when they close there eyes? Recommended nevertheless.

Just bought Civilization III. Not bad, but a tad boring in places. I'm not a big game guy. I usually only buy about one a year and even then get easily bored by them.

One downside with these games on my TiBook 1Ghz is that both fans come on and stay on, and the underside does get very hot.

Unreal Tournament 2003 = awesome. If you value your social life at all avoid this game at all costs...UT2k3 will destroy it. It's that good.

Also, I like Civilization III. I was never a big fan of strategy games, but I really dig Civilization. Now I need to figure out how to get better...

And for the cheapest of cheap, Text Twist on Yahoo games. So simple yet so fun. Just as addictive as UT2k3.

I have an obsession with StarCraft. At it's peak I was seeing starcraft when I closed my eyes.

So, games I have been playing on my AlBook: Warcraft III, UT 2K3, SC, Medal of Honor: Spearhead, Step Mania, and some emulators (replaying FF7, and FF4, through FlareStorm and SNES respectively).

It's a pretty decent machine for this kind of stuff, much better than my QS 867.

l would love to get into flight sims, but alas I don't have a joystick.. don't know what is a good one to get either.

Warcraft 3 Frozen Throne here. Runs smoooth on my 1.25 PB (5400 HD), and the screen is great. Really bright and gorgeous.
