Computer game query time

1. Your favourite computer game ever?
The original Elite - BBC Micro Disk version.

2. One you're wasting far too much time on now?
Everquest, surprise, surprise!

3. One that has caused you to nearly (or fail) an exam/deadline because you were playing it too much.
The original civalisation, nearly failed my degree because of this.

4. The worst game you've ever seen?
Vouyer; a game where you peek into other peoples house with a telescope. Whoo.

5. The game should that have never been?
Elite 2: A New frontier; real world physics really don't work for space combat games.

6. The game that should be written, now!
Take the tie fighter/Freespace graphics engine, take the star wars universe, give everyone a stock light freighter and let them play trading games elite style in the star wars universe, do missions for the rebels or the empire.

I remember that 'un; not too bad but it was before they migrated the graphics engine over to polygon style with WC3 unfortunately; so it was still in the scaled bitmaps.

Good fun tho.
