Games I Play
I have always been a big fan of board games, and was rather serious about
chess in high school. Though I became involved with computers in the
early 1970's, I avoided video games because they take so much time and
because programming and managing that era of computers was game enough in
itself for me.
Now that I'm retired and have free time on my hands, I've finally begun
playing console games.
Most of the console games I play are story-oriented role-playing games of
Japanese origin (J-RPGs). My favorite games are in bold.
Not coincidentally they mostly have a female view-point character and
strong stories.

This page is simply a listing of games; I have more to say about games I
like. (Generally I only finish games I like; why suffer the pain to finish
something I'm not enjoying.) Because of that, there's a good chance I'll
replay a game if I live long enough, so I make notes for future use.

* These are games I have played repeatedly with my two grown children.
(That's why I own the multitap.) They are PC gamers, and well familiar
with Baldur's gate. We are rather less fond of the EverQuest universe,
and hate Firiona Vie with a passion.
Non-computer games:
I generally play with my two grown children, so I
rarely have an opportunity to use the two-player only games.
