Meh, I usually switch to Fundy for about 10 years or so and raise $20,000+ with the rediculusly high tax rates before switching back to Democracy and spending it all. Wink (highest level/score: Prince, 257%)

Say, Joh Power, I wonder if you've heard of this place called Civ Fanatics...

Starfire...not the best graphics of course, but strikes me as a true DOS game...quite well-designed.

Of course, I've probably only really played about 10% of the games listed so...there's probably better stuff in there.

you know? I would have put jackrabbit in my favourites too, if it hadnt been for the horrible collision detection system. until I finished the game, I remember getting stuck *inside* the walls tens of times. andI started getting paranoic. thats why Jackrabbit didnt leave suh a good taste to em. (although visuals+sounds+atmosphere were ultra good.)

Its not a smiley. n00b.

Technically, it is an emoticon, and "Smiley" is shorthand for emoticon, so yeah, it is. And please, for our sake, dont say "n00b". Leetspeak is so... lame. Anyway, you haven't explained it to him yet, so I will. Its a heart, and it means "love".

But anyway, my favorite is Tyrian.

Smiley refers to a face, which it does not have. An i said n00b because the phpBB official chat room has been getting to me lately.
