Fairly new silver surfer wants to buy role playing or puzzle games. No fighting, no driving, no flying purely adventure eg., 11th hour, puzz 3d blackstone chronicles, black dahlia etc., etc.,these I already have but I want more and I am having problems finding good web site. I am not as boring as I sound I just have nothing else to do :D

No offense but live a little get mechwarrior3 buy some of the battle tech novels move to ammerica and you can live the mechwarrior lifestyle or so it seems from the yankee mech3 players i have spoken to who actually speak like some of the people in the novels!!. On a lighter noe if you want adventuring and stuff and have plenty time and money for your phone bill try something like Ultima online (which is free in electronics boutique at the mo) or everquest or you could evn try getting into muds(multi user dungeons ie text based games like on the c64/speccy)

Yeah UO was part of their "buy a blue sticker product and get any orange sticker product free" offer and UO had a orange sticker so it is free if buy a full game or joystick or something.

I am not suprised, our one had a whole rack full of it. I suspect someone added an extra nought onto the purchase order by mistake :)

UO = a lot of fighting or even more boring repetetive tasks (unless you do illegal macroing), as is EQ and AC. There is even a "l33t" PvP scene. Yuk.

I would recommend MUDs if you are after a more relaxing experience. There are even new ones starting occasionally, which is probably the best bet if it looks like a good one. WP MUDII was nice though, for the short time I played it.

I assume you have Ultima VII? Don't know if you can still get it on a compilation or something, cos it is awesome (unlike 8 or 9).

Also you could try one of the adventure forums on delphi which is basically a mud but people just post messages and stuff I am not shure how they work but there seems to be a few about(aswell as the war forums where sad ammericans claim countrys and post lists of units and stuff,very strange)

Considering that we are using www.gameplay.com (http://www.gameplay.com) software an are requesting they support our game requests, i am saddened to see people who should know better recommending the opposition

Loyalty is not a dirty word or concept u know, it may just be a bit foreign to some off u !!!

Max u may save 50p elsewere on some games, but gameplay prices also include delivery an have a returns policy

Furthermore All on line games , like real life involve some degree off conflict.

In ultima online, u are likely to be murdered in the ist hour !!!

Thanks Vite :)

Betty Boo - if you go post in the shop forum or the Role Playing Games forum, I'm sure someone (ir several someones) will suggest a whole plethora of purchasing and gaming ideas for you...

Soz about advertising the opposition, but i was simply pointing out a fact which seemed silly not too(at the time) and a severe case of D'oh for forgetting the roleplaying forum ;)
