What I remember from those days is you had to have a "millstone" deck (make your opponent run out of cards) and "moxy" deck (achieve the ultimate by winning on the first turn by having the rarest cards all in the same hand on the first turn). there where others, but those two where the only ones that really stuck to memory

Millstones were easily countered by several different strategies. Speaking of countering, there were/are purpose-designed "counter" decks (blue, can be frustrating to play against), and "protection" decks / white weeny-creature decks (my favorite), colorless (all-artifact) decks, and the list goes on and on (and on and on ...). MtG, the game that gave us the memorable term "fork you".

I've got to be the only person around here who enjoys Unreal Tournament 2004, aren't I? (Though I haven't played any Internet games yet - I hear the kiddies out there (what are kiddies doing playing this game anyway ) are pretty awful when it comes to manners ... I need to find more people I *know* who have this game... LAN games aren't quite as trash-talk filled as Internet games, are they?)

Oh yes, there is Angband and all its variants (current Favorites: Oangband and ToME)... ADOM is cool too but I haven't played it in a while...

You say there's a new Version of Anacreon? Wow, I'll have to check that out! I loved that game's varied stellar manipulations and constructions! Even if you couldn't design your own ships... I wonder if it supports PBEM or any other form of Online play?

Hmm, someone mentioned text-based sports sims... I'm going to pull a Gandalf Parker here and suggest that he check out Shrapnel's very own Coliseum game Never played it myself (not even the demo) but it might be worth checking out
