I like to play these strategy-text games. You get your country and develop it, and it takes few turns to train or build. Ie, in this one game you have to train soldiers from population, and then you can train soldiers into mages, horsemen, elites, bowmen, thieves....To train soldiers you need 20rnds, and then again 20 to train from soldiers. And 1 round is 1 hour real time...so it takes time. Playing one country for some 6-7 months now, highly fun.

Other game I play is faster, there whole thing lasts 7 weeks, one with most land wins, reset, and start new round. Also training in hours real time, but that one has more races, units and other stuff. both war games. Very fun.

MUD was pretty good for it's time, very interesting, RPG in text based form. Highly addicting, and I almost ruined my fucking life when I was 16 or so.. but then I got off the damn thing, and started doing my f'ing homework... ain't I a good boy? <3
