FIRST Jeopardy! (5/5)

[EddieMcD]

Winged Globe got yesterday's anwer right. It was trinitrotoluene. The complete 300 points go to him.

A quick recap of the rules: every day, I'll ask a question, and give it a point value. The first person to post with the correct answer will gain that amount of points. Occasionally, I'll toss out a bonus relating to the question which, unless otherwise noted, only the answerer can take (of course, if he answers the basic question wrong, the bonus is still up for grabs assuming you can answer that basic question). The correct answer will be posted in the next day's thread (please, no bumping up past threads once they're dead).

Today's question is worth 200 points, and deals with computer software. What is the best-selling computer game of all time? I'll also give anyone 200 bonus points if they can tell me the game it recently surpassed to get to that spot.

Best selling computer game? I know lots of good games. It could be anywhere from StarCraft to even the Command & Conquer series or even WarCraft 3. Yes I do play lots of computer games (all strategy) but I haven't bought any for several months now. I'm just guessing here. I'm probably wrong but oh well. It's worth a try.

My sister plays this dumb game.. i can't believe it's number one: The Sims.. I still remember playing the game it recently surpassed, Myst, in second grade.. Man, good times..

I had always thought it was Civilization. Not II, not III, just plain old Civ.

Ah, Civ. The pain of losing a battle ship to a phalanx. The joy of being the first to discover mathematics (catapults!). You can't top a game that will suck you in for 8 hours at a time.

Still the greatest game of all time.

The Sims took over the number one spot from Myst.

Myst, the first 'real' game I beat.
