Ah, finally someone has the guts to show his real face!

Okay, Mayo and warcus have pictures on their web sites, too.
Maybe I should look for a picture of myself some time.

Anyway, you're looking quite old for a seven year old boy! Or did I miscount the candles?!?

Concerning favourite games, well, there are SO many....
I played UFO and found it quite funny at first, but I lost interest some time. I'm usually not a fan of "rundenbasierte" games, you know, where you can plan how to spend some kind of movement or action points for one turn and then start the action. I probably wouldn't even play ToB if you could ONLY use programmed spiders instead of also controlling them directly.
Doom was okay, though even back then I was unhappy with the poor graphics and the straightforward levels. I really enjoyed the intensity of Half-Life and the complexity of Deux Ex in the ego-shooter genre. I was also fascinated by the idea of Thief, though I somehow didn't get to play it very far.
I don't know Star Control II (or even I), but the original version of Elite on the C64 is definitely on of the true cult games. There was also a game similar to your description of SCII on the amiga that I liked very much, but I forgot it's name...

What else did I enjoy? On the Amiga, some of my favourites were Starglider II (I never really understood what I had to do, but simply flying around and collecting a couple of things and listening to the wonderful sound effects was a great experience), Dynablaster (a nice version of Bomberman - Exiter and me fought endless mercyless battles in this game.), Indy 500 (which was no fun at all when I once tried to play it with an emulator), Silent Service, Interceptor, Rick Dangerous and many many more. If I had my disk collection here I'd quicky skip through all the games to find out what else I played...
