You're not alone. I do very poorly at video games. One reason is that I
tend to analyze rather than trust my instincts (ie, by the time I figure
out what to do, I'm history). Another reason is below par hand-eye
co-ordination. I've been playing blackjack on my computer for years, and
I'm getting pretty good at Animal Quest (it's at ftp.hff.rat.org), but
that's about as far as I can go with games. There are two more games I
used to play but had to give them up when I upgraded to a 486 (they go
too fast now). I'd like to get the Sonic CD so I can listen to the
music, but I can't spare the cash now that I've taken the plunge on a new
printer.
