I still fire it up every so often as a modelling tool to design alien races and creatures, and that'll usually end up with me getting distracted and starting a new playthrough.

Spore was the first game on the Xbox one that stressed the processor system resources (it popped up warnings about it).

It also stressed the processor system on my ancient Dell laptop using....Microsoft VISTA!!! (runs into the street, screaming as if hair is ablaze)

Too much Soul Glow can do that to hair...

Soul Glow? I believe you have me confused with a certain comic legend who enjoyed an 8 ball and running for his life

lol. It’s a reference to an Eddie Murphy movie “coming to America” from the 80’s. Really oily hair product.

And highly flammable

I've been rocking a Nintendo Switch version of Trivial Pursuit, Risk and Monopoly.

Gotta love a classic board game that you can hold in your hand, and can play with various levels of AI opponents.

Added bonus: you never lose any of the tiny pieces from the TP wedges to R armies to the tin/lead alloy M tokens and plastic houses/hotels. Stepping on any of those mentioned in the middle of the night, is as bad as the rare LEGO brick escapee!

I have been steadily going through the games of my mini SNES for awhile. First I beat Mega Man X. Superb games even today and challenging. Then it was Zelda Link to the Past. I played that fully, finding all the hearts and upgrades and items. I did cheat for a couple because I forgot where they were.

Final Fantasy 3 or VI as it's called in Japan. I am on and off with it. I am in the Twisted World or Bad World and trying to remember where to find everyone. And the big ticket items too. It's been awhile.

Just started with Earth Bound. This I am going to need to use the internet for since the last time I played this game, Geocities was still a thing and annoyed many people.

I've repeated played some old Wii titles: Super Mario Galaxy 1&2, all the Rabbids titles (still make me howl with laughter), and Spore...which I've played all the platforms of to some success...lol

Games I am currently playing:
Startopia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Startopia
Dawn of War: Retribution (Ork Campaign is funnier, Eldar campaign is more sad/serious) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warhammer ... etribution
UFO: Afterlight - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UFO:_Afterlight

I've starting getting some more of the strategy games on Steam, slowly building up my collection. Got "Deity: Empires" which looks pretty cool, but only had a brief jaunt so far, as well as "Stellar Monarch" (which is pretty meh), "Galactic Dominion" and "Stardrive II", both if which I have yet to play. But I shall be getting into them during the week.

I also played a bit of "Age of Civilizations II" which seems fairly decent.

Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri

Opening Video (and a few others)

I have managed to get Civilization III Complete running on my current PC, and currently am building a colossal mod for it.

I've also been playing Civilization IV, though I prefer III overall.

I own II - VI, might give V and VI another bash some time soon.
