I figured that since there are probably a lot of threads out there that ask for suggestions about games, I'm going to make one thread to accommodate any suggestion requests.

Alright, enough with the babbling, and down to business:

I'm currently looking for a new horse racing game for PC. (My current one is rather old, and doesn't run all that great) I've been searching for one, but so far, I've only found games that are a bit pricey or appear to be online-only. (I don't like online-only games and my price limit is $20.)

So, does anyone have any suggestions? I would greatly appreciate some.
 
Here's an idea I've had for a while: Spaceport Tycoon.

As humanity expands into space, so does your company! You start out on Earth, where most people still are, at 2100 AD. To get to the moon, Mars, and further, research along one of multiple lines of technology, which costs money. However, so does upgrading and buying spaceships. As you advance further in technology, space travel becomes more affordable, fast, and commonplace. Occasionally you will find aliens on a planet and will require defense systems. On the more populated planets, you will need to compete for the lowest prices and best location with other spaceports, put on additions, and abide with environmental laws. You could also build spaceports in the void of space, which is more convenient for travelers but costs more for fuel and construction.

I might give an extended description later.
 
I think we could use a new Civ game. A bit more casual in depth (only a little tile micromanagement), full of breadth, full of important decisions, nice visuals, historical veracity (though not accuracy), and with a very clean and intuitive interface.

Likewise, I believe Empire Earth is in need of a reboot.

I liked the first one, but I wasn't thinking that. It actually gets pretty messy (mega-hours of stretched out tower defnse). But if you want Empire Earth, then I think Age of Empires Online is comiing soon and what you'd like.
 
I think by game suggestions he meant people requesting games with certain criteria for them to buy, not brand new game suggestions.

Either one works. :)

Well I could use a brand new Civ game. I don't care for Civ5. And I've grown bored of Civ4.

And along with it, I demand that they make a complementary SimCopter 2 that can use SimCity 5 maps like the original could run 2000's.

As an update to this, I found a game that looked somewhat promising. (Plus, it was FREE! :eek:) I did some research on it, and the basics were that the game was free, and you would earn points from races to purchase better mounts, etc., and if you wanted to, you could pay real money to get the points. That is optional, though, which is fine by me. So I registered to the site, downloaded the game, and was told that I would have to purchase my first horse using points, or real money. But, the first horse is free. I'm a little bit edgy after seeing that, but it looked on the level. So I went through the list of horses that I could purchase. I made my choice, and went through the motions of purchasing it. (It was free, mind you, so it was only the motions. I wasn't actually going to spend any money.) To complete the purchase, which would total $0, they asked for some information. Name (I really felt like a Mr. Smith at the time. :groucho:), birth date (Do 50 year olds play horse racing games? ;)), etc. I went down the list; there was nothing too personal that I couldn't 'edit', if you know what I mean, until.... "address" and "phone number". At first I considered giving them the phone number and address that I've seen in those ShamWow commercials, but I thought better of it. So, in the end, I'm just going to be keeping an eye on the pricey game.

There may be some people who may feel the need to tell me that I should give them my address and phone number because I shouldn't 'live in fear of the big bad wolf finding me', blah blah etc., but I'll tell you now that I make it a rule to live by that I don't let information like that out to anyone who doesn't have a good, well-known reputation. Uh-uh, not gonna happen. You'd have to pry that information out of my cold, fried hard drive before I'd tell just anybody.

But, as very brief summary, this is what I think of the people who made the "free" game:

Speaking of SimCopter, I'm partial to a remake of Streets of SimCity. That game could work if the dev team actually tried.
