Mid 40's, for me it's Civilization: Beyond Earth and yelling at kids to get off my lawn.


Wow, I thought I was the only person left to still regularly play that game.

It's no game.

Stay. Off. My. Lawn.


Good idea for a game though. I'm thinking waves of pesky kids that require warning shots from the porch (you lose points if you actually hit them, but you get more points the closer the warning shot goes), then periodic breaks where you can set lawn-traps, and then bonus targets who've come to ask your kids on a date.

All made more difficult because you're not allowed to stop rocking your chair.


I'm pretty sure there's a game like that somewhere in Newgrounds. Which is itself going on 23 years. Damn, I'm old.


Yeah, as if Sid Meyers would so easily return your soul to you.


Sid Meier

It's Sid Meier's Civilization, not Sid Mayers' Civilisation.


I thought the same. It’s a shame there will not be any updates (some aspects of war/diplomacy could do with changing) but it’s still a great game.
