          Computer Games

          Current favorite: Dungeon Keeper II
            Not a terribly complex game but fun to play with. You build your dungeon, digging out rooms in the stone and attracting creatures to live in them and slaying the sniveling do-gooder heroes who invade your domain. Bwa-ha-ha!

          Past favorite: Civilization II
            This one has kept my interest for many years. You start out with one settler, build your city and guide your empire as it grows. Enemy empires will attack or trade with you. Endless variation on land masses, and the multiplayer version is great for massive Civ parties with your friends!

          Past favorite: Master of Orion II

            Start out with one planet, build starships to colonize others and to protect yourself from other races. Design your own race and ships.

          Past favorite: Pax Imperia

            Design your own race and ships. Start out with one planet and conquer the rest. This is mostly a building game but time advances automatically instead of waiting for you to 'end the turn'. I find this an annoyance, but since you can slow or speed time advancement it's possible to work around the problem
