Since I can't get a Wii, I've been going old-school and playing the SSI RPGs Buck Rogers in the 25th Century: Countdown to Doomsday and Matrix Cubed on my DOS emulator (DosBox, it is awesome). Fabulous team RPGs with turn-based fighting and intricate, engaging plots. They are both available as abandonware on Home of the Underdogs. I highly recommend you check it out.
Sadly SSI never released the third game in the "trilogy", so these two gems are all you get. Luckily I also downloaded Commander Keen and have been reliving the glory of my DOS and BBS days. Now does anyone know if there are places to play Alpha Centauri or Legend of the Red Dragon?
I looked, and apparently there are still TradeWars tournaments played to this day, though damn if I've found any.
