YUp Galactic Civilizations is the best option..

Incase u wanna compromise turn based.. try Homeworld...

Mail the blizzard guys.. are u playing on vista ?

I have been playing pc games for a long time now.. and i suppose the best games run fine on it.

Other games lying on the fringes might be "Games NOT for windows" and hence have problems.

I still think vista is more than ok

Three days back I was tweaking with GTalk from my home and in the course i opened about 3 instances of Gtalk.. meaning i logged into 3 of my google accounts ids ( using 3 gtalk ) from my computer. Now this means 3 ids logged in from the same IP since my home line is leased. Now ive done this so many times from the university... but i guess google was unable to track it since it was using a hub.. but now dat im home... i suddenly found the next day that my google login id ( one of them and sadly the most important one ) was disabled. :cry:

Now .. wat do i do.. is it because of the multiple gtalk instance thing that they disabled my account.. ??

and will it be rectified.. i mean google support isnt that gr8 right .. :evil:

I know this is not abt gaming... but still .... any advice ??? :?

If u do not know programming I suggest u learn some. C++ wud be fairest. u can try openGL too.

If u wanna design the game, i mean level design, then u shud preferbly use a graph paper and pencils ! am serious !

Any game development requires :

art design, level design and coding.

im not good at art so i jumped staightaway into the next two.

since u wanna design a simple game, design the game in paper first and then code it urself! be persistant ! ~

There is nothing that can beat StarCraft !!!

Except Starcraft 2
