I just got a new (much faster) computer and I am interested in playing some on-line games against other players. Do any of you have any good sites that you visit, for this purpose?

Well, it probably depends on what kind of games, but I used to play on yahoo games all the time. I also like www.games.com, www.pogo.com, and zone.msn.com. I haven't played against other people in the games at the zone.msn.com site, but I do think they have those games on there.

The only place I play games is a pogo.com. I've never played against someone just the solo ones.

I play at Pogo.com. I also enjoy gamesville.com. They are trying hard to make it like pogo, which is a good thing. If you go to uproar.com, you can play family feud and price is right. Its a bit frustrating because the people you play against obviously play for hours and memorize the answers because they dont have too many different puzzles.Theres like 10 people with perfect family feud scores. There is also a place to play jeopardy and wheel of fortune online against others. One other great one is boxerjam.com. Thats a must try!

Sia - most online games require registration but I know this one doesn't - I lived on this board for a few years back in '98..'99 lol..:)

http://snoot.org/toys/scribble/?flags=e

There are three types of players on this co-op 'scrabble' board...

Players who play like we are all opponents (they block the triples, waste the s's and so on)

The team players who like to work together to make the best possible score

and

The elite rude players - who won't settle for anything but perfection and are rude luckily those players stay on games 15 and 16 so are easy to avoid.

But it's very very fun :)

At the top of the above link you'll find a link to "MUDDLE" - that is really fun - it's in beta testing still Tom will be improving it periodically.

There are also other games like co-op chess etc on this link (see the snoot.org link at the bottom of that page)

www.boxerjam.com

is fun too, and I belive you can play as a guest. Just click on "play games" at the top. Strike a Match, and Know it All are the ones I play.

Playlink is where I spend a bunch of time. They have a variety of games, but the only one I play is Wordscape. Highly addicting for anyone who likes Scrabble! They 'give' you $500 'Playbucks' you can use. I have yet to lose all of them. Or, you can deposit funds and play for real money (not my bag). If you like playing and want to make it a bit more competitive, register for the Ladder at MyLeague.com. They have ladders for many of the games (again, I only do Wordscape) and it adds another fun element to playing.

Another couple of places I play:

Popcap - Java-based games that work behind my company's firewall. Fun diversions. :)

Playsite - Another site with several different free games and some pay ones, too. I play Cascade - another word game. :)

Enjoy!

I started playing Everquest ( from Sony) back around early October - which explains why nobody sees me much these days. I don't recommend this unless you are single or have a very tolerant spouse or S/O (seriously!). It is very addictive and lots of fun. I really enjoy it and have met several really cool people playing it.

Neko - what can you tell me about Neopets -- my kids want to play there

Gail - I've read on a few self-help boards things about everquest, that it's not just addicting like I'd call the TVCH addicting but to an extreme - obvoiusly alot of people can do things in moderation but from the sounds of it that 'game?" seems to be so addicting that it can cause even those who normally take things in moderation to the extreme. Anyhow this is just my obvservation based on reading self help boards and seeing how frequently this was mentioned there (more then most other addictions combined)

It actually had me really curious to check out this game but I decided against at least till I'm at a point where I can take a chance that I might end up 'seriously' addicted to it - I'm assuming it'll still be there then - if it has that many addicts LOL.

A bunch of us older (age 34+) RPG players got together after years of playing The Realm and Neverquest and did beta testing for Asheron's Call in 2000, it was a blast. After that got boring we switched last year to my fave online RPG ~ Dark Age of Camelot, even my hubby plays it with me. I like many games at yahoo.com, too, when I want a fast diversion. My other fave game is the free horseracing game at
http://simulatedsports.net/hr/
where you keep stables and compete with other players, and even breed your own new horses in hope of creating the ultimate champions. There's a friendly chatroom to get advice or just hang out sharing strategies. The game can be played without spending much time. I log in Monday to see upcoming races and enter my horses, then on Wednesday to see if my horses got on the race cards, and finally on Saturday to watch the races and get my results. It's a longterm almost real-time game if you like simulations and it's a lot of fun!!!

Gail, I just tried to register at station.com to check out "Everquest," but after I'd completed the form there was a section about billing information. What's that all about? Thanks in advance.

That's all about the ching ching.

Evercrack is not free, I believe you pay by the month. Everyone who plays it seems to get addicted, I'm staying away. :)

I have played Psychobabble on popcap.com.

Ever see the refrigerator poetry kits? That's what Psychobabble is, only it's timed and you're competing with a small group of people to make the most-voted for sentence. It can be hysterically funny and most of the people are very friendly. I haven't gone to the NC-17 room, I stick with the other one ("rated G" or some name).

I don't visit there often, but I would love to see some TVCH members play. My user name is tillytea. If you get addicted, let me know, and I will suffer with you.

I play at Gamespy. www.gamespy.com. You can register but you don't have to. I've been there since mplayer closed.

They have all the classic games and more.

Enjoy!

Yes, Everquest is not free - there is a monthly subscription - I think it is like $10 a month. Before doing that, there is the main package, and three or four add on packages - now, they sell Everquest Gold (comes in a nice gold tin box) for about $69 in the stores that contains everything up to this point.

Everquest is a graphical online fantasy game. I guess I don't have the hand-eye coordination to play those games. I'm never fast enough and end up getting killed

I play a game that is similiar in nature to EQ, but it's a text based fantasy game. Text based fantasy games are not for everybody, but if you have a good imagination and a little patience for learning how to navigate through a text based world, then I think you can get just as hooked on them as Everquest and most of them are FREE!

The first thing to do is install a mud client to play the games with. You can get a free fully functional version of most of these. I use Portal. You can get a free download of Portal at :

PORTAL

There are many different kinds of muds. Some are entirely role play muds where everyone stays in character. There are different theme muds, too.
There are medieval, futuristic and present day muds. There are also Xrated adult muds.

You can find out about muds and the different kinds of muds by going to this site :

If you are a Sopranos fan you can go to hbo.com, follow the link to the Sopranos page, go to games and downloads and play poker at Big •••••'s Poker Heaven. You have to register, but it is free. Shockwave.com also has alot of games, and you don't have to register.
