Video Game Crack

Mundane Pointless Stuff I Must Share (MPSIMS)
#1

I know you are out there. People who play the N64, the PlayStation . . . the DreamCast.

You get really pissed when you can’t figure out a save point in Syphon Filter.
Smash Brothers comes out at every party.
You spend 6 hours on a Sunday powering up your RPG characters.
Crazy Taxi on the DreamCast is like “carmel covered crack”. (Quote borrowed from an ancient named SmickD. :smiley: )

Talk to me, what games have really sucked you in ?

I already gave one of mine : I am only now playing the original Syphon Filter, and I love it.
Looking for recommendations . . .

Well, there was a Playstation Hall of Fame thread from a while back, but I’ll assume you want games for other systems as well. I just have a PSX and generally play RPGs so here’s my top 5 games in no particular order.

Final Fantasy 7
Final Fantasy Tactics
Star Ocean: The Second Story
Suikoden
Resident Evil 2 (for variety)

I thought “Video Game Crack” was what happens to your pants when you sit hunched over the little controller for hours on end…

Its the sound your back makes when you stand up after playing for hours…

I play’d FF & Zelda.

Rayman 2 for Dreamcast. I’ve slacked and haven’t finished most of the games I bought, but that one had me playing to completion. And wanting more. MORE!

Zelda for N64 had this effect on me as well, as did most of the Castlevania games (except the N64 ones).

My fav is Goldeneye for N64 in the multi-player mode. Me and my friends refer to it as “shoot-em-up”.

I am also hooked on Golden Tee in the bars.

#7

I’m into RPGs myself.

My faves:
Suikoden I & II (loved the cook-offs)
The Breath of Fire series (eagerly awaiting the next one)
Parasite Eve
And of course anything with “Final Fantasy” in the title. :slight_smile:
