These are the games that I and my friends have spent the most time
on (this is the way i measure games)

(in no particular order)

F-18       
  although it's not as flashy as falcon, it's much smoother and feels great
Ports of Call
  i dunno why, but we played this for days, the only thing that stopped us
  was the mouse-only playing and the need to dock ships by hand.
Populous
  we all played this like crazy, but playing against another human seemed
  lackluster compared to battling an increasingly vicious computer player
Faery Tale Adventure
  i and a friend solved this in about a week of fervid playing. we used
  philip cuz he had the highest luck and we brought his Bravery to 1400!
Speedball
  non-stop arm-twising death-to-joysticks fun
SimCity
  a lot of fun, although there IS some randomness. ever make a megalopolis?
Backlash
  really fun and impressive, just like Encounter on the Atari 800
Firepower
  is great fun especially for visiting yunguns.
ShufflePuck Cafe
  very solid and has a great feel to it.
Balance of Power
  mind-boggling. we always lose but we keep on playing.
Empire
  very silly game, but once you've started you just have to teach
  those computer players a lesson.
