personally, I play quake II online as it's within my reduced capacity to at least give a reasonable challenge to younger players by using strategy (don't suicide alone) over skill and reflexes.

"My favorite games are the shoot-um ups (like Half Life). I am a one handed old man with poor reflexes. "

You must be a very patient- and persistent man! Have you considered forming a league for the chronologically advanced?

What you've suggested could be accomplished with a tagging system displayed in a cloud as here in the forum. The most oft submitted tags would be the largest -- or whatever weighting system is implemented.

Although if time is that precious, and it were me, I wouldn't be playing games alone. :D

Suggestions for Future Giveaways

GGOTD has provided me with several games that I enjoy playing. I download from six to ten games a month from the GGOTD daily offerings. I don't want to waste time installing something if I know that I will not keep it. Once something is installed on my computer (even if I don't like it) it may stay on my hard drive forever.

If the comment for the game makes the game look promising, I usually take a look at the author's website for screen shots. No screen shot – no installation. There are exceptions to this. If good comments pile up in the comments section, I may re-download the offering. I also blackball games if the download does not contain instructions on how to play it. I don’t want part of the game to start off being a puzzle on how to play it. I prefer games where a joystick can be used because of reasons below.

My favorite games are the shoot-um ups (like Half Life). I am a one handed old man with poor reflexes. Those infirmities slow down my progression from one level to the next. I completed Half Life after about a year and a half of play. I am too slow to play against others - I have tried to do it several times and I get shot before I have figured out how to turn around.

I am wondering if many other users of this forum would like to see a short statement following the comment or a series of letters that answer the questions I listed above. The person writing the comment for the daily offering could add another line or two such as:

Shoot-um up
Instructions for game play included
Play on line or play your computer
Joystick or Key Board control

If the game comment section included something along the lines that I mentioned – I could avoid wasting some of the time that I spend hunting for information and game play instructions. In truth, Time is precious to me I don’t have much of it left.
