Geek alert...
The Third Age: Total War

Because all of the Total War games are awesome, but especially so when you're controlling hobbits, orcs, trolls and ents to crush opposing armies.

Big pool player, another game of positional and material strategy concepts 🙂

Also like rpg series' such as final fantasy, breath of fire (BoF3 was a personal fave)
and fave board game was probably monopoly or cluedo

Also like cribbage, but poker is a no-no for me now 😲

shogi and go are the two left that haven't been cracked by computers...i read backgammon was cracked in the 70s

i don't like go tho, too slow, and shogi looks hellishly complex

Fun Game ... Best when you can find someone close to your level to play against ... just like chess

My nephews got me into Fight Night Round on PS2. That was another awesome fighting video game.

Edit: And Lord only knows how many quarters I pumped into Mortal Kombat 2 when it was new at the arcade.

If you like fighting games you might like to try the Assassins Creed series, latest one was the best, set in the American wars of Independence.

I'll have to check that out. I don't play video games like I used to. Nowadays, I'll hook up the original Nintendo or Super Nes when kids come over, but that's about it. It's funny how challenging two button games can be. After all these years, Mike Tyson is still knocking me out in Punch Out.

I played the crusades one, but it got really boring after a while. The story unfolded to slowly for me and there was too much repetitive whacking.

I used to play bridge. I stopped because the people were just unbearably tense. A bridge tournament, as I remember it, is dreary hours of moving around tables and listening to people scolding their partners. In chess at least there's no one for a player to blame other than themselves. When we were done, I just wanted to lie down and die, whatever my results were.

The newer ones are quite a bit better at relieving the repetitiveness.
