I'm not playing computer games these days, but I know some are. I was wondering if you know of any you would recommend.
I used to love this game back in 88, unfortunately, it's only for MAC users, but I know there are a few here.
Here'a link to it: http://www2.semicolon.com/Scarab.html
Scenario
A freak sandstorm in Egypt has uncovered the top of the Great Pyramid of RA the Sun-God. Already dozens of explorers, singly and in teams, have entered the pyramid through the door at the very top. None have ever returned. You, a lowly undergraduate student in Archaeology, have decided to enter the pyramid on your own and learn its secrets, and (if you can) survive to tell the outside world of its wonders.
In the dark of night, you have crept out of camp and into the Great Pyramid. You have stolen a little food, a lantern, and some oil for it, but that's all the equipment you were able to take on short notice. However, you expect to find abandoned food and equipment left behind in the pyramid by the other, earlier expeditions. (The ones that didn't make it out -- remember?)
You'll find that the pyramid is divided into floors or levels, and each level is a maze whose exit leads to the entrance of the next level down. The exit doors are locked, so before you can leave a level, you must find the key for its exit. You'll also find other things as you explore: the lost and abandoned detritus of earlier explorers, piles of gold left by ancient RA worshipers, dangerous animals, hidden traps. You must use your ingenuity and the tools you find to avoid the worst of the hazards.

But its too expensive!
I think I have more interest in PT, but Age of Empires is one fun game. I used to play against my brother on our network, and would always prepare an army of elephants while he would prepare an army of ships. 
I learned to build my civilization AWAY from the sea so he couldn't get me, and I would send my elephants off to his land. I usually won that way. Took me awhile to figure out horses didn't last too long and often led to my destruction. *sigh* But it was so much fun building a civilation from scratch, upgrading, and defending it.
. I had it on the computer for the longest time lol. I still have most of my old Sonic the Hedgehog games (and still play them too, boy do I have a life pfffft)
