"Thinking" Games

IronGauntlet · March 26th, 2005, 10:37 PM

I'm really into these small strategic puzzle thinking games images/smilies/biggrin.gif

I want to know if anyone know of any really good ones.

Here are two of my all time favorites:

IQmarathon
I completed this one, so if anyone wants to have a go i can give a few hints along the way images/smilies/smile.gif

Gridlock
This one is old! Its harder than IQmarathon and can be very frustrating at times. I got to the very last level in this one, but never completed it.

BTW, does anyone play Contraptions?

Contraptions - Is that the Incredible Machine? I used to love that game.

I think the best "thinking games" are RTS. I'm the man at Age of Empires baby.

Let's schedule a game. Do you play the expansion?

Once I played a six hour game online.

Yup thats it! I know its old, but i only just started playing it. Im just REALLY annoyed at how some levels are so odd, that only constant failures will eventually, accidentally give you the solution images/smilies/mad.gif

Uh....it's been un-installed from my comp for about a year now... images/smilies/lol.gif

I rarely have time to play any games..right now, LFS is the only gaming I do, and that only on our Saturday races...but maybe we can play sometime. I'm not that good, I was just trying to get you going images/smilies/tongue.gif

I play with my "imaginary friend" Goku - He sucks.

AOE III is coming out soon!

v0od0o · March 26th, 2005, 11:43 PM

Wasn't Age of Mythology supposed to be the AOEIII ?
I used to play AOE2 a lot too, only problem with it I think was the 8 player limit on network play, we hit that lots of times. I was not that good when playing against humans though, dunno why.

Ultra_Kool_Dude · March 26th, 2005, 11:59 PM

Age of Mythology had gay magic and stuff.

I pwn all teh noobs at AOE2. 8)

IronGauntlet · March 27th, 2005, 12:04 AM

You are probably all RTS noobs compared to me. I play REAL RTS: C&C
I'd kick anyones ass at Zero Hour. AOE and Warcraft are like for noobs who havent realised we got tanks and nukes and stuff. OMFG ROFLOLOL!!!111one

Ok, i'm done being silly images/smilies/tongue.gif

I actually meant for this thread to be about small puzzle games. So we're sidetracking a little images/smilies/wink.gif

No, this is the legitimate Finalgear discussion manner. You're glad that it stayed ON TOPIC that long images/smilies/mrgreen.gif

Do you have any video game consoles IronGauntlet, or are you just looking for PC puzzle games?

I've got a tonne of console puzzle games... Dr. Mario, Puyo Pop, Super Puzzle Fighter II, Bust-A-Move, It's Mr. Pants... the list just goes on and on and on. images/smilies/tongue.gif

I could give you lots of console recommendations.

And for the record, I am a Dr. Mario and Super Puzzle Fighter II master. If it were possible I'd challenge you all to a dual. images/smilies/twisted.gif
