I don't own many games. Funnily enough, I'm not that into playing games! I
like games programming because I love problem solving and fiddling around
with maths and algorithms and stuff. However, every so often I go through a
games playing phase and spend hours on them. But I wouldn't describe it as
one of my main hobbies.

Here's what I've got (all platforms). As you can see, I prefer adventure
and strategy games

Mac:

Alone in the Dark Trilogy
-- still the best 3d arcade/adventures ever written, especially Alone in
the Dark 2

Warcraft II
--THE best battle/strategy game. Much more fun than C&C

Buried in Time
-- better-than-Myst point and click graphic adventure. Awesome rendered
graphics (esp. Leonardo da Vinci's house and gardens)

and of course, Myst, plus one I'm really embarrassed about (Phantasmagoria)

PC:
Shadow of the Comet
--really engrossing and enjoyable 2D graphic adventure, with some great
surprises. If you were ever into Lovecraft/Call of Cthulhu, this is the
game for you. Proves that 2D makes for better gameplay, IMO.

Playstation

Resident Evil 1 and 2
--still prefer 1 over 2. The music and locations in 1 are just so much more
atmospheric.

Adventures of Alundra
-- great 2D Japanese-style RPG with British sense of humour.

Planning to buy:
Metal Gear Solid, Silent Hill maybe.
Resident Evil 3

Thats' it
