I played one of the old AOE's, that's more my style for gaming. My wife and I are not gamers, but we are particular to things like Civilizaiton (and SimCity, CivRome etc.) and related. Good fun, requires some thought, and doesn't require the drastic graphics requirements that FPS games do.

I may actually abandon my Wine-boycott, and look into running them under it rather than booting into VIsta, just to see if I can...

Cheers,
