 I'm not really into games (having played every game under the sun on the 
Atari 800), but I believe that the absoulutest, bestest, game for your money
is Dungeon Master. This might seem redundant, since everyone but me has solved
it. It can be had for under $25, and it will last for a long time (don't expect
to solve it in a day). I've been playing Dm for close to a year (A few hours
a week), and I'm almost done. For the $28 I paid for it, it's a great 
investment. I usually avoid arcade action-type games since $32 usually gets you
only two or three weeks of interest.
 Sometimes I'm not into solving puzzles or playing a complicated role, and
times like these I just want to blow things up. I found GoldRunner to be
pretty good (But might be hard to find, now it's so old).
 I'm planning to get a game myself, and I've heard reccomendations for
Falcon and Captain Blood. I'm planning on getting one of the two sometime
when I get home. For all the others out there, which one is more fun?
I would like a game which I can stop and continue later, or play for a few
hours at a time. Can a game of Falcon be completed in an hour or so, and can
Captain Blood be streched out as long as DM?
