Mao and Chrononauts are both quite different from all other games, though Mao has ties to zendo, mornington crescent, penultima, uno, and war :)
Play Mao again now you're good at it! :)
I never played Chrononauts. It's mainly good for the idea, I don't know if it's worth playing more than once or not :)
You want to be getting yourself a Nokia! They do everything, like make the tea!
(a) AFAIK my moto has a kitchen everything in, the problem is that I haven't read all the manual yet so I'm not sure what it can and can't. We need not more functionality but a more intuitive and openended UI (cue javapixiebouncing :)) (b) I don't *want* hot tea spontaneously manufactured three inches from my groin whenever anyone calls me.
I see a challenge there. *plots* My Java-fu is weak still, but if I ever get good at speech-recognition software I'll let you know...:)
Well, fu is probably overkill. There are existing (free?) recognition things, aren't there? What's needed is to customise one so it's really good at spotting that one thing and doesn't go off by accident; and chain it together with something than can play sound. It needs someone to faff setting things up, not innovative code :(
