Ringo, all you need for the pc version is a mouse and the keyboard. Its really rather simple and easier to control then the game pads, in my opinion.

Hi Todd, I think that's the way i'll go on it. I already have three computer games having played only two of them though. All I have is: Talonsoft's: Eastern Front - which is a great real historically based game, Sid Meiers: Civil War-another greta game and based a bit on the actual events. I forget the name of the last game I bought-as I never even opened it-let alone played it but, it is a WWII game of somekind. The bad thing about my Eastern Front game is that I bought this one when I was in an internet/computer shop, in the old part of Hameln, Germany; and the game is in German. I need to see if I can find a version of it in English-which I know they have.

HI GT, Smokey, Todd,

GT, thanks-and I might shift a few funds from the DvD buying Dept and maybe buy a game.

Smokey, I do have a computer thanks to a few "Santas' here and on another site. Im having problems getting service because I was told our building can't get it without somekind of a box that is outside the building. Our complex (MIS)management, said that we are all supposed to be getting whatever is necessary to get service. I wonder if they mean those things in the green plastic housing that are about the size of an airconditioning unit?

Todd, thanks for the info as well. I have not played a computer or gaming system for about 6 years now. I tried when I went to a gamers store and could not figure out how to work the controls. These things are so complex-especially compaired with the Atari system-which I loved the simplicity of their controls. Heck, when I bought the Nintendo 64, I thought i'd never get the hang of its controls.

Boy I have a long way to go-to just get back into playing games.

Oh. Just goes to show you how much I know about today's games - which aint much.

I didn't know that Call of Duty was a Wii game? I thought it was playstation or whatevertheyarecalled?

Does the Wii have any War Games?

Ha ha, I love reading what all of you have or have not. At soime point in time, i'd like a new game system but, I don't want nuthin' really fancy. I don't know which system it was but,m I had stopped at some gamers store and they had several systems up and running for people to play free. Well, I tried one which was some sort of "Desert Storm or Black Hawk Down" kinda game. Well, all I managed to to was move a few soldiers around but could not figure out how to make the fire their weapons or do anything. These new-fangled controls are hard to use and are nothing like the Nintendo 64 controls. These new ones have WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY too many buttons on them.

The first system I had was the Atari 1600? or 2600? whatever. Anyway, I remember people looked like squares and dots and such. I had about 35 games and it was a decent game system.

Many years later I bought a Nintendo 64 and bought three games. Sarge;'s Men, Goldeneye (James Bond) and a Star Wars game. I had a bout a years worth of fun from it but, some jerk busted into my apartment and stole the system and all three of my games. I have not bought any others. However, I still have a few computer games I bought several years ago, that I will play when I get a computer.

They are: Eastern Front by Talonsoft--great WWII game-for its type. I also have Sid Meiers Gettysburg--which wasa fun game and had thousands of characters tha moved all over the battelfield. I actually defeated the Yankees and chased them out of Gettysburg and made them surrender (after a tought fight) in the fields next to the town. The last game I bought was aWWII game but I never had a chance to play it to--I don't know if its a good game or not?
