    What Games Should I Buy?

    In 3 months my contract is up and I return to the Land of Maple Syrup with $24 000 burning a hole in my pocket....

    I'm hoping that the bank will let me get a mortgage even though I won't be technically employed at the time. I can do another contract for more money whenever I want.

    But the important question is.....WHAT TO BUY??

    I'd like to finally get a new computer....but new computers have this strange new OS which will hurt all my old games....and I still play DOS games under Win98...

    So....what can I do? Is there something that will emulate 'pure' old DOS or Win95 for these strange, pagan OSs ?

    And what games to get?

    MOO 3 seems like a good game. HoI. Neverwinter Nights. Morrowind. Battlefield: 1942.

    Any advice on games, new comps, and staying 'backwards compatible'?

    You can always dual boot DOS and whatever other OS you have in mind. I think Galatic Civilization is a better game than MoO 3 (check the GC forum on Poly for details). Morrow Wind is better than Neverwinter Nights, particularly if you play solo.

    Oh, and SimCity 4.

      MOO3 is utter ****.

      Don't waste your time.

      If I began writing a list of annoyances and things that piss me off, I'd need to replace my keyboard.

        A lot of would-be MoO 3 fans didn't believe me when I told them Sid knew what he was doing.

          Civ3 looks like work of art in comparison to MOO3, and I thought Firaxis dropped the ball on Civ3.

                  Seeker doesn't look like a RTS or FPS kind of guy to me


                  Seeker,

                  Question for you. How will your one year of work in South Korea help with your career, other than you got to save up a pretty penny?

                          Sure, buy a new computer for your new games, but keep the old beast too. You will have far less headaches that way.
