I was going to offer to trade you my copy of Rise of Nations for your copy of Star Fleet Commnd, but I reread the list and I see you already have that one. You buy a lot of games dude.

I can't bring myself to get rid of any of them; I have trouble even throwing away broken hardware.
winUAE and Amiga Forever. Amiga emulation. So you can play your old Amiga stuff.

I still have some of my old game cartridges for the Sega Genesis. The game console itself is broken. There's also several games I got for the Playstation 1. These work but some of them I have never played, or played only once or twice.

The reasons that I don't play these games is because of one or more of:
1. I started playing and quicky discovered that the game isn't very fun
2. The controls and features are complicated and difficult to use, and I didn't feel like spending a long time learning all the special button combinations, and practicing until I get used to it.
3. There's some other game that I like, that I would rather spend my time playing, so I always end up playing those instead.
4. A friend gave me the game as a birthday present or Christmas present, but it's not the genre that I like.
5. I started playing and at some point I got stuck at a difficult place that I couldn't get past. I tried several times and gave up.

It’s Europa Universalis

If it’s EU II you got, the new 1.08 patch kick ***. All the crash problems seems to be fixed and the AI’s have become much smarter. If you like big epic games and maybe try for a world conquest; Portugal, Ottoman and Muscowy are highly recommended. IMHO EU II is the greatest singleplayer game ever. Too bad multiplayer suck big time.

Yes that is the game. I have never taken the time to learn it. The learning curve seems to high and I lost interest in it. Thanks for the info.

The patch for Hearts of Iron, by the same company, is 19 megs and that is simply to large to download on 14.4 dial up.
