Games

I'm not a big computer games player, but I do like some of the more "cerebral" ones, like Monkey Island and the Discworld games. I also quite like the Infocom ones. These links reflect those tastes.

The World of Monkey Island - a site devoted to one of the funniest PC strategy games. And Murray.
Infocom - information and downloadable interpreters.
