Played all version and all re-issues. Also waiting for discount on AOE4 (and huge at 138 GB or something) There's still good activity on (free) multi-user AOE III, etc.

I don't think AoE4 is 138 GB though, Steam says 50 GB.
I have never played multiplayer though, only against the computer. I just happen to like the game, I'm not actually good at it 
Cheers,
Vikram.

I used to play a lot of MMOs but right now I play Guilty Gear: Strive and sometimes play some Dead Cells or Slay the Spire. When I get a big chunk of free time I'm planning on finishing Ori and the Will of the Wisps. That's pretty much it right now. Might give DNF Duel and Lost Ark a try when they release.

Hmmm,
So I am guessing that you are a PlayStation fan. Two of those titles are Sony exclusives unavailable on the Microsoft platform.

Nope. Steam on PC. I used to be a Playstation fan but honestly I haven't played console since the PS3

I used to have an XBox 360, but two RRODs put me right off consoles.
Pity, it was good while it worked (and cheaper than gaming spec PC's).
Oblivion on XBox was very nice, better than the PC version on mouse and KB.

This is one thing I love about 2(.5)-D fighting games, platformers, metroidvanias, roguelikes, and card games. You don't need an insane rig to play them. You can pretty much play them on anything built in the last 10-15 years, even if it's a gorgeous game like Hollow Knight, the Ori games, etc.

Can't call it 'spare' time when its all i got, but i do spend a lot of time in Diablo 1 - 3, Starcraft 1 & 2, and Plants vs Zombies

These days I only work virtual jigsaw puzzles on FascistBook. Or cards with the family.
The last real computer games I played were Myst and its sequels. Before that I went through all the Kings Quest, Leisure Suit Larry and other Sierra games, and a zillion more from the 70s. And of course, old codger that I am, my first was Colossal Cave and MS Flight Simulator on a Trash-80.
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

Do you know about Wordle? Wordle - A daily word game[^]
It has kind of taken over social media, but it really is kind of a neat (simple) game.
Just guess the 5-letter word in 6 tries or less.
THere is a new word puzzle every day.
It runs in your browser. Very simple but quite satisfying.
A bit like the old game Mastermind but with words.
If your afraid, run the VirusTotal.com[^] on it.

I played it for the first time this morning. It's simple, but also requires a certain amount of logic and strategy. I guess it's a hangman variant - sort of? As someone whose only gaming activity is Words With Friends, it appeals to me. Pretty cool.

I used to...then wife/life/family took over my spare time, so not much anymore...I'm lucky to get a half-hour of Super Mario for PC a month! (the only 'game' I've actually installed on this system) edit: sorry, I almost forgot about MineCraft which I haven't played in over 3 years now!
Ah, there was a time though, when I would spend hours in a dark office until the late hours, working my way through the likes of Lighthouse, Myst, and then Riven. I wasn't much into the FPS as much as puzzle solving. When I retire, maybe I'll have time for games again...and by that time, with VR, I'm sure it will be way better than I remember.

Colossal Cave (PDP-10), Flight Simulator and Wizardry (Apple ][+), Arcticfox (Amiga 2000), and the Myst series. I've tried a few since then, but the only ones that managed to hold my interest were Obduction, Firewatch, and The Witness. I no longer have any interest in "real-time" games, which eliminates a lot of them.

The old DOS version circa 1982? Could you land the plane? Or did you do like everyone else and fly around until you crash landed?

I don't recall landing it successfully! Not until there was PC version with graphics that were more realistic.

Classic Windows Solitaire, and if I've got the time, ye olde Mahjong Titans.
I don't think I have the wiring to play modern games.

Rimworld; 6546 hours
That's just the single player ones.. Been on/off playing Warcraft, and now playing Diabolo 3.
After logging all these hours you might expect an experienced gamer. I'm definitely not

Superhot (lab scene in endless mode only) on PC and Scrabble on phone for burning time. Severed Steel third, but I like it's music better than the gameplay, I am growing old for action games.

Currently I am playing an ancient game, commando's behind enemy lines.
I was talking with someone about ancient software and games and then I remembered this one, so I searched on it and found that many old games are "fixed" to run on modern windows.
I guess in a week or so I loose interest again...
