Ah, I remember Trouble. We never had any of the ones with different themes that you guys are talking about, I just had the original. I agree, it would be a lot more fun as a computer game, because it would be more accessible. I think it would be kind of cool to have a Candy Land game for the computer too, for the kids and kids at heart, :d. I'm actually surprised that no one has done that yet. The other game that would be really neat if made accessible, though I'm honestly not sure if it could be done, is Catch Phrase. For those who don't know, Catch Phrase is an electronic game that displays clues to a word on a screen, and someone has to try to describe what the word or phrase is without actually using those words. You have something like 30 seconds to pass the game back and forth between however many teams are playing and give clues. Whoever is left holding the game when time runs out gets a point, and, of course, that's not a good thing, like hot potato or something. You don't want to be the one holding it. As I said, I highly doubt something like that could be done, since the computer would have to simulate fairly intelligent thought to give unique clues, but that's a game that I've played a lot with people and have often wished I could be the one giving the clues instead of having to have someone else on my team speak for me.
