A few people have talked about the difficulties inherent in making a professional looking game. In my opinion it is much more how a game looks then how it plays. My girlfriend really enjoys burger time which was made for the first Nintendo. However, she mostly enjoys thinking games, like free cell and majong. She also likes many of the games on the magatouch machines that are often found in bars. I enjoy these games to mine not as exclusively as her. I also enjoy minesweeper which has to be one of the simplest games. I though this thread could discuss some mind games that currently exist and suggest some new ones or how to expand upon the ideas of some preexisting games. For instance have you ever considered a minesweeper game with different shapes or giving more information about the surrounding mines. What about a game based on a four dimensional game. I look forward to the following discussion. What games do you like, have you ever thought of creating your own mind games and have you ever created a mind game.

Here is a start but hopfully I can find some games that sound more fun:

I think the Army System game built into these forums is a decent strategy game. I also think Tetris is a kickass game as well.

I’m addicted to the army game here but I don’t know why it seems so simple. I am not sure how strategic it is. It is more of a guessing game. Success depends more on how much you play it as opposed to how smart you are. I think a lot of personality comes into it to. You can plan for long term success or go for short term gains. I think part of the addiction of the army game is the same kind of addiction you can get from sim city. That is imaging you are in charge of an alternative reality.

Tetris from a playing perspective demands you to think quickly but then again so do fast pace racing games like road rash. Ever try 3-D Tetris. That is fun too. I think a better tetras like game for improving mental skills is moon drop. In moon drop if you align 3 or more of the same colors or three or more of the same numbers you eliminate pieces. Pieces fall from the top and you select what column you want to drop them down. The talented player should be able to quickly see cascading drop possibilities.

Do you mean forum based games? If so, more games would be cool, but I don't really know of any.
