- Hi, All. Well, it's obviously coming down to the wire for Christmas
- shopping and I STILL haven't gotten a game for my brother. We have quite
- different tastes: I enjoy adventure games while he's more into
- war-simulation games. So what do you get a guy like that?
-
- Here's what he's REALLY liked recently.
- - Civilization, one of his favorites
- - Empire, tied with Civ. for his favorite game.
- - Powermonger, which was OK, but not as good as the others.
-
- Here's what I've considered buying, based on the back-of-box summaries at
- Babbages and Egghead:
- - Harpoon: yeah, the deluxe package is a lot of money - will he like it?
- - Command HQ: looks like an older EGA game, but was recommended by the
- Babbages guy.
-
- That's about it actually. {If YOU, with your amazing wisdom, can recommend
- a good game based on the fact that my brother REALLY liked Civ. and
- Empire, please let me know! Also, please e-mail if possible - digging
- through several hundred messages a day here isn't easy. Thanks, All!

- something I SHOULDN'T buy?)
