 Other games?
Happy New Year!
Quick question for everyone: Besides TW, what other online games do you play? I play LOTRO and Guild Wars 2. I have a lifetime sub for LOTRO, so I don't have to pay anything for Turbine points, and GW2 is $60 or so, but no monthly sub is needed to play. I also do some stupid FB games once in a while. Anyone else?

 Re: Other games?
I don't currently play any games, with the amount of time I put into TW's over the years I just never had time for anything else.

 Re: Other games?
Much like TradeWars, I periodically get into games I used to play back in the day...the latest one was Counterstrike, but once I started staying up until the kids woke up, I knew I had to uninstall it yet again

 Re: Other games?
I did play WoW, Starcraft and Diablo before they were online games.
Before that, as a kid I did have the first "Pong" game, both Atari and I think 3 Nintendo. Then my son moved out, no more game consoles since then.
When I first joined Facebook old friends talked me into playing Farmville, an old TW friend talked me into playing Mafia Wars. That lasted all of 3 months, maybe.

 Re: Other games?
I had pong too  , and then activision. Never had a nintendo. Spent a lot of time in arcades, had all the pac-man patterns memorized, and was the first to beat dragon's lair in my arcade. I used to buy 120 tokens for $20, and then sell them 5 for $1. Learned to program inside Radio Shack on a Tandy TRS-80 Mark II. My first computer was a Radio Shack color computer. I was heavily into first person shooters like Wolfenstein, Doom, Quake, and Unreal until my reaction times got too slow to compete with the teenagers that play 24/7. I played WoW online for about six months, and then I got bored with it. Now I mostly play Battle Pirates on FB, which surprisingly has some similarities to TradeWars.

 Re: Other games?
I just started playing 'Dishonored' on XBox, its supposed to be the best FPS of 2012. I try to play Starcraft II and some Steam Games but I just dont have the time.

Oh yeah, I forgot about Wolfenstein, Doom, Quake, and Dune. Also the early Sim City game on dos. I broke a mouse playing Diablo. That was my last "shooter" game.

 Re: Other games?
My son goes through mice like crazy. I don't think one has ever lasted more than 3 months.

 Re: Other games?
I'm level 56, and currently in Sector 136. I may be moving soon though, as we have been invaded by the Lords of Destruction (L-O-D). They are a bunch of in-sector hitters that level my base every time my bubble goes down. Hostile activity from adjacent sectors has increased as well, so it just isn't the quiet little neighborhood it was a few weeks ago. Anyone is welcome to friend me on FB ( http://www.facebook.com/MicroBlaster1) if you like. ***Warning*** My cats took over my FB page, and I now have over 4700 cat friends.

 Re: Other games?
I play Galaxy Legion on Facebook and also Starfleet Commander. Been playing SFC for going on 4 years now. It's similar to TW in a lot of ways.

Holy heck you weren't kidding. Just added you. I'm level 51 in 296. Good sector, good people. We get the insects every now and again, but they get bubbles and don't stay long. You're welcome to hop over.

You're welcome to hop over. This is a clan of in sector hitters with over 70 members ranging from level 55-80. I think they have actually invaded 155, 156 and 157. Most the natives have jumped and I will be jumping as soon as my outpost finishes healing.
