O Brave New World

[Maureen Therese Anderson]

Thanks to posters for computer game titles/descriptions that makes
Imperialism II look like it was put out by The Nation. (well, and maybe...)
I'd been under the impression one had to live in close proximity to a male
fifteen-year-old to be savvy about such things, but I see now I just gotta
steer my computer away from heady listservs more often.

For fellow troglodytes: another fascinating-sounding title mentioned a few
times is "Civilization," which is apparently like a cyber-version of that
old set of teleology-tomes by Will and Ariel Durant (touchingly collecting
dust in just about every used booked store I've ever frequented).  However,
the graphics are good and the game a bit more complicated--in fact a
non-European culture can "win"!
