My creative hero, Brian Eno (see posts here and here), is at work again. He's writing some complex procedural music to match the complexities of a long-awaited new computer game called Spore which simulates the complete history and future of life, no less. I haven't bought a computer game for a long time, but if this one lives up to the hype then I'll be buying Spore.
What games, computer or otherwise, do you like playing?

looks like just my kind of thing - I used to play Populous, Sim-City, and the first version of the Sims (before it went all pseudo-celeb). I've also been known to play a bit of Sonic. Got bored with them all now - tried Sim-City a couple of weeks back but just couldn't get into it.
I used to love the atmosphere of Myst - but never got anywhere with it.
I shall get Spore when it comes out... perhaps we can swap oblique strategies? txxx
Sim City 2 was the best version in my opinion. I never tried Populous, and only briefly experimented with The Sims.
Myst was wonderful. It's probably the only computer game I've ever completed. I tried again a few months ago, though, and couldn't remember how to get to some of the other worlds.
Brian Eno's oblique strategies intrigue me. I'm tempted to buy a set, though I suspect that they will seem rather more obvious these days.
