I don't actually play games. I just like building stuff and getting the games to work. :dunno
I actually loved the Atari 2600/800 controller.
I own the complete Killer Instinct and Mortal Kombat Card sets :(

I remember when some of my friends got the Wico 3rd party joystick for their Atari's. I hated that thing. Ironic now because my favorite arcade stick is a wico leaf.

Ok I got a better one: I like playing fishing games. :dunno
I used to fish a lot in WoW. :embarassed:
I think DK is a terrible game.
I like SMB2 more than 1 and 3.
What's the pay scale for that?
My favorite games are the Lucas Art adventure games, which I replay religiously, and I've never used anything newer than an Xbox console-wise.

Yot don't judge....
Since someone mentioned Wow I guess I can confess I have over 600 hours logged on my Barbarian on Diablo3I can never do this. Games have the same place in my mind that books and movies do, it's all about the story. Once I've beaten the game / read the book / seen the movie I can't turn around and play/read/watch it again right away. Time has to pass and things have to get fuzzy for me. Then I go back and re-live the story again.

600 hours over 2 years is less than an hour a day. I didnt spend 600 hours playing the story over and over, most of it was spending (and still is) grinding for gears. The adventure most is just a grind fest, the story has always been a joke in Diablo.

I haven't played a pinball machine in months.

Donkey Kong 3 is my favorite of all the Donkey Kong games.

And I would hit the reset button as a kid when I was about to lose a game. A lot. And I don't regret it. At all. >:D

I used to play with a kid who would get pissed when losing and throw the controller.
I found a sweet spot in Bases Loaded on the NES where the computer could NOT hit the ball. I would throw perfect games every time. Of course, it made the game boring after a while, but hey - perfect game!
Yep. Pitch to running back. Run to left side.I found a sweet spot in Bases Loaded on the NES where the computer could NOT hit the ball. I would throw perfect games every time. Of course, it made the game boring after a while, but hey - perfect game!
Reminds me of when my brother figured out how to get a touchdown on every play in Joe Montana Football on Genesis. He would post scores like 230 - 7.

My wife has taken to Tomodachi Life with an absolute vengeance. I'm periodically expected to go in there and screw everything up just to keep it fresh. Not my fault Shaq looks good in an elf outfit.
triple play for the genesis wasnt bad. Well until you figured out that every time you hit a home run you had to watch the guy run around the bases.
Tap the controller to the right twice to move the pitcher over a little on the mound. Throw the ball directly in the area under the batter's armpit. Change your pitcher after the 5th inning to get a fresh one in there, and they never make contact with the ball.
I got my wife to swear off of playing video games with me in one swoop. She spent weeks playing Sims 2, making happy cute families and one day I decided to make a family of extremely ugly people using a glitch in the character creator. Wrote them a backstory as a runaway circus sideshow looking for suburban love. I had them all marry and breed like rabbits with her pretty people. The look of horror on her face when she saw her cute little people not only intermingled with InsectMan, NardFace and Roadkill, but birthing mutant offspring.....priceless.

Every 10 years I think I remember how awesome they were.
Then I listen to two or three songs, skipping to the next one halfway through because I tire of the song before it's over.
Then I don't bother for another 10 years.
The first time it happened I went out and re-bought Violator. That lasted about 5 minutes before buyer's remorse kicked in.
I think I'll go revisit on Rhapsody right now. Good thing I have a fresh coffee to keep me from dozing off.

I have never beaten a Metroid game.
Madden is too complicated for me now. :dunno
I actually went on the internet a few years ago to memorize Pac Man patterns.
Back in '90, a friend of mine showed me a game he had gotten off a BB for his Commodore 64 (actually, a friend of his got it for him, because none of uu could afford a modem). It was a German game called "Party Girls".
I also have video game OCD. I have to see everything in the game. Games like the Diablo series, I can't grind, I need to reveal all of the fog on each and every map I enter, every time. RPGs, good lord, I love them but I have to try every side quest, open every door. It is insanity.
Lately, I tend to play Call of Duty more than anything else. I even pre-ordered Advanced Warfare today.I have a library of, quite literally, thousands of games.
Confession: I had to Google CSOTN.

When I tell people about my hobby I used to get embarrassed because they thought it was geeky or some ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---. Now when people ask what I do for fun and I tell them about my BYOAC habits I attack them if they say anything snide since most people never get their fat ass off the couch and can't do a tenth of the electronics and wood working we do on here.
Oh your hobby is watching a tv show about zombies? Wow. That's really interesting...tell me more about how that's working out for you, being a potato.

I understand the SNES love but I'm perfectly happy to play those titles emulated. Same goes for pretty much everything prePSOneI agree. I have no problem emulating them. Plus with safe states I can beat games that were once impossible.
I have the saddest confession...
I once got an std
I traded in my Sega Saturn and 41 games to get an N64 with Mario64 and Pilot Wings64. Games I traded in included Dragon Force, Bomberman, Legend of Oasis, and Guardian Heroes.
It took some time, but I eventually bought all the Saturn stuff again, it would have been much cheaper to buy N64 stuff :(
....Now I wish I never sold anything....

This..I'm 44 and STILL am kinda embarrassed to admit that I play video games. After all these years people still think games are just for kids and are a waste for time for anyone else. I guess after a certain age, you are supposed to bring your kids to soccer practice, read more books, and follow the Wall Street Journal..you know mature stuff..LOL ---fudgesicle--- that. To each their own. I have way too much technology OCD to ever read a book..it couldn't happen. ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- my tv is on every moment of the day when I am home..mostly for background noise. It has always bugged me that my hobby is looked down upon, while reading is 100% accepted by everyone.
You even get the people who ONLY read. Gladly admit they don't watch tv or have cable, etc. Good for them. I have nothing against what they do. We are all different. But those are the people who think that is somehow the best way to go through life. Like they are better people because they read books and don't watch tv or (gasp) play video games. I know I shouldn't give a ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- what others think, but those people really bug me :angry:
I read AND play videogames. Don't knock reading, you should try it some time.

i have NOTHING against reading. I used to read actually. I just have too much trouble sitting for too long in quiet. My mind wanders too much nowadays. That and my ears are constantly ringing from playing guitar in a band (not good). Now I'm down to reading Game Informer in the shitter. ;D
I'm talking about those people who think that reading is the be all and end all of how to spend your free time...and they are bette rthan me because they don't watch tv or play videogames.

I understand the SNES love but I'm perfectly happy to play those titles emulated. Same goes for pretty much everything prePSOneI certainly have nothing against emulation. With that said, there is not a SNES emulator on the planet that gets audio 100% right, mostly due to the analogue filters attached to the SNES's sound outputs. Some try various tricks to get close, but none of them match it as closely as other emulators match their hardware counterparts.
I'd just like to clarify that when I attack someone I usually don't physically attack them, unless they call me Francis. If they do, I kill'em. Also, I don't like no one touching my stuff. So just keep your meathooks off. If I catch any of you guys in my stuff... I'll kill ya. And I don't like nobody touching me. Any of you homos touch me... I'll kill ya.

Upon reflection, I think my comment about your butthurt came off meaner spirited than intended. I think we've all been mildly shocked at the amount of quality work you've invested in some of the projects you ultimately abandoned.
And, no, never take me seriously.

Hell's Bells always plays in a Tribute Fest in Duluth, MN (about 130 miles from Mpls). They are the reason we never get to play it. The promoter has a relationship with them so we are out. They've been together for awhile. We've only been together a couple years.

I seriously hurt my GPA in college one year due to MUDs (Ancient Anguish mostly, but I had affairs with others). My MUD addiction is the single biggest reason I refused to ever install WoW. To put that in perspective I have played Dungeons & Dragons (pen and paper) for 30 years (and still do 6 hours every other Sunday). I've read hundreds of fantasy novels. I was a sword and sorcery nerd LONG before it was cool. I just logged onto Ancient Anguish to do some programming for them a few months back and that effort was derailed by building my arcade cabinet!

boy... dialing up to BBS's with a 14.4 to download pics of NIN on my 386 640x480@ 16 colors...playing asylum... trading game points for BBS minutes.... good times, good times.
I started with a blank concrete slab basement and built a gameroom with brand new framing, electrical, subflooring, drywall, moldings, and glow carpet, two zone dimmed track lighting and black light, and filled it with games all of which were dead to one degree or other when I bought them. Did 100% of the room work myself with building skills I mostly didn't have two years ago. If that's not a successful project in pbj's eyes then his judgement means nothing anyway.
Since we've drifted into the old BBS days...
I was a total Trade Wars junky back in the day. One of my local BBS's actually ran 4 (Yes, 4!!!) lines into his board and was a beta tester for multi client Trade Wars. Man, that got messy sometimes.
Confession: I missed the heyday of BBSs by a year or so.

When I was a kid, I didn't realize I was supposed to hate 2600 Pac-Man, E.T. and Ewoks until they invented the Internet.
I never actually played Dragons Lair until about 7 years ago.
I remember walking into the local arcade in the early 80s and seeing it.
There was a huge crowd around it and I couldn't get close. Best I can do was
Watch the game play on the extra display they had mounted on top of
The machine.
I finally got to play it at Fun Spot (during one of the rare moments that it was working)
I was so excited, standing there, I put my coin in, giggled like a school girl and set into
play and........
It sucked
I bought a 3DO when it was released ($400). Pretty sure I remember trading it and a handful of great games a few years later for... Jesus I can't even remember.

Ewok Adventures? Was never released and the prototype was said to be found in '97. Says its downloadable online. Unless you are thinking of another Atari Star Wars title.
No, not a game. Apparently, the Ewoks supposedly dumbed down Jedi or something like that. Ten year old me didn't that at the time.
I didn't mind the Ewoks at the time either. I still have the live action Ewok movie on VMS somewhere. My wife and I even named our first dog Wicket. That being said I can understand the criticism now.

10) (last one), I had a COD server at work hidden under my desk. We had a guild mostly made up of employees. I ended up changing internet providers for my company's VPN network but kept that old connection going as a failover, so it was exclusively used by the server. I forgot about it after we stopped playing though, and 3 years later I was cleaning out some storage and came across it. It was still running so I plugged it into my network to log in, but my password had been changed. Turned out it had been hacked by some German hacker and the drive was packed to the brim with pirated x-box roms and had been a pirate file sharing site for 3 years.
