I have a stack of games here, too. I just never play them.
It's funny. I used to play X*L*C*R (http://www.michael-grant.me.uk/xlcr.html) (a game I wrote) lots when I first got my Master (it was Heriot-Watt University's last eight-bit machine, and I intercepted it on the way to the skip in 1998), and when I first got a decent computer of my own in 2000, I had to deinstall the Tetris which came built into Emacs, as I otherwise just wasted far too much time playing it; but now I feel no compulsion to play games at all. The operating system I'm currently using (Fedora 8 Linux) comes with a bunch of simple games, but I've never played them even once.
