	One thing from MoO3 I want in EVERY game I buy from now on. Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations: Deluxe Edition

Perhaps it is just my cramped schedule, but from here on, I want EVERY game I ever buy to come with an alarm clock.

This silly little feature has allowed me to become more involved in the game simply for the fact that I am no longer forced to look at the clock every 5 minutes to make sure I am not late leaving for work, appointments, etc.

As a result, for the first time in any game, I can sit down and concentrate fully on PLAYING and no longer worry when I need to leave. I have noticed that the time now flies by as well since I am not concerned with what time it is.

Yes, there are some faults in the game, but this is the one thing I want EVERY game from here on to include as a feature. Surely that can't be too much to ask?

I always change the turn display so that it shows the time. And I'm still late for work.

I just set my actual alarm clock whenever I sit down to play involved games. Et voila.

It doesn't work for me -- I always end up turning the alarm off and keep playing.

At least until my wife comes around and slap me in the head.

That would wake up the children, and hence the house, and lead to MY wife slapping me upside the head...

As I said, I have an odd schedule and normally play late night/early morning VERY quietly carefull not to wake anyone.

Be careful, it can happen to anyone. At least when they're older you can get a good LAN game going.

The alarmclock has proved useful to me too a couple of times. Its something we've wanted in TBS's for a long time and I'm glad someone finally put one in. I can remember it being on the Civ 3 wishlist for years

It is a great feature along with the in game clock. It helps me to remember to eat dinner.

Oh, it would be extremely surprising and unlikely to see me end up with a wife and kids, trust me.

Alarm clock..... $5.

Alarm clock built into the game......free.

Having a 10 quart dutch oven of boiling hot spaghetti sauce poured onto your crotch for ignoring both of them..... priceless.

Nice line.

If I need a silent alarm, I just set my mobile to silent and then set the alarm. It lights up at the appropriate time (catching my attention) and disturbes no-one else. Yay!

One of the major windfall I experience with JOMT games, is instead that they do help me eat less!

Hmm, MoO3 as dieting aid. That should boost sales a bit.

Who said MoO3 is actually a JOMT game?
From the reviews I read, it could actually make me desire a break from it, and make me want to eat something, anything, to appease the frustration...
Just like CivIII did!

I do have skipped a couple of meals instead thanks to the recently acquired SEIVG

I said its a JOMT game. Wanna take this outside?

Anyone who can complete a 600+ turn game in one sitting doesn't have a wife or girlfriend (at least not anymore... ). The alarm clock is a cool feature but I just take off my watch and set it next to the keyboard. I wish that level of creative thoughtfulness was present throughout every part of the game.

Well - at least you didn't get to your work in 2350 AD.
