I just had a conversation that ended in me saying this: "That sounds like an awesome move for a video game. 'Unexpected dinner!!'"
And hm. Speaking of computer games, there were only three that I ever really loved. The first is Master of Orion. My brother bought the game and I ended up keeping it after he moved out of the house. You basically try to populate as many planets as you can to build an empire. But you have to control the production of things on your planets as well as create powerful ships (for when you run into other races who may want the same planet). You can also have ground combat.. you get to choose how many people to put on your ships that you send to inhabited planets and then they duke it out with the inhabitants. Whoever has troops left standing at the end keeps the planet.
But the strategy goes on and on and on. There are lots of aspects to keep track of. Luckily, it's turn-based, so you can take your time thinking about it. The only thing about Master of Orion is that it's ANCIENT. It's real hard to find these days and runs on MS-DOS since it was released in 1993.
There's a sequel called Master of Orion 2 which received really good reviews too, but I don't know much about the availability of it. I just know what Master of Orion 3 is considered crap by most of the original game's fans.
