Can I put in a word here for board games, such as Scrabble, Monopoly, Cluedo (Clue to those in the US), Othello/Reversi et al.
Card games played with those wicked, evil, sinful face-cards - games such as cribbage.
Dice games such as backgammon (I recommend the compter version known as GNU backgammon).
And on a more computer-oriented front, simulations such as Microsoft's excellent Train Simulator, Flight Simulator and others such as Tube Train Simulator.
For those who miss playing old-style PC games, try this link:

And for those of us who a) are Brits and b) remember the eighties, get yourself a copy of ZX32, a Sinclair Spectrum emulator and while away a bit of time - and all without that dreaded message "r - tape loading error'.
