Wow. I'm glad you enjoyed those times. Not my bag personally, but obviously it worked for you. I haven't played computer games since the Nineties. I used to spend hours on them, and I remember during a Doom phase I once walked round to the local petrol station to get some munchies and caught myself looking around the corner to check for monsters. I even got hooked on Mine Sweeper. So in the end I gave them up, as I realised I wasn't in control of my habit.
