Arrrgh!!! Freeciv!!! If I could have back the countless hours I have
lost to that great game. I wish I could beat the computer just one time
though! Everytime an newer version comes out, it is more difficult to
defeat. To me, it seems all the free games I enjoy, just completely
demolish me. Freeciv and Nethack. I have yet to win/beat either and
thats the reason I love them.
