What a waste

[sylvar]

I saw a copy of Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided at a library today.  What good is that?  You still have to buy a subscription, don't you?  That library is going to get nothing but complaints about that title.

OK, game fans: please recommend a few PC titles that libraries SHOULD buy.

The 'Reader Rabbit' series seems quite good from my vantage point (looking over Lovebug's shoulder) Lots of learning in bite-sized doses, frequent incremental rewards to keep interest, low footprint to install and run.

Ed: HL2 is out for the same reason SWG is--one must register the CDkey online to play the game at all.

Puzzle solving, cute music, and cartoon violence : Lemmings!

Anything that teaches basic economic theory--such as supply & demand, guns vs butter, or the *magic* of compound interest. [No, I have no idea of such a game, but if more people understood those concepts, we'd have fewer problems with consumer debt!]

Good 'collection' of basic strategy games. (Bonus: those will almost certainly be freeware)
