Speaking of computer games- if you ever have a hankering, I have a few shooter type ones that you might like. The dark Alice in wonderland is especially fun. You play Alice, and fight card guards, and stuff. You even have to play chess to get through one of the levels. :)

Alas, if it requires any quick thinking or fast reflexes, I am no good. That's why I don't play anything where I have to be reactive. But I love the puzzles (and prettiness) of the Myst games.

I could never get anything but frustrated with Myst or Riven

I think the key is extreme patience. Also, I'm not geared to want to win. I'm very lackadaisical about wanting to *win* a game. I'm happy just plodding along. Which is why I don't do well in most computer games.

After about 6 hours of play and not being able to "get" anywhere. I ended up frustred. I never figured out what to do. Pooch says that it is a pattern matching - "I saw these two things together earlier" type of thing that I am not particularly good at. He says the clue is "Do you like the game concentration". Also I play computer games to relax and how ever it is that Myst does ends up not relaxing me at all. Me I like Roller coaster tycoon, or master of magic, or civ III.
