the only games i play are on the PC, and half the time it's at the pc bang. the last console i bought was an n64. i'm not much of a gamer, but i've picked up an interest in the DS lite. im considering getting it. anyone have it? is it worth it? hehe

and while we're on that topic, you guys play games often? how many hours? maybe i should pick up gaming. it's so much cheaper than ordering a bottle a week at the bar...

[cookiecutter]

ps2 & gamecube..

i play for hrs....it depends...

if im faded or something i'll play all nite/morning long! hahahahhaa (:<

yes girls play videogames

i used to do alot of console gaming, but not anymore.. my only working machines are my sega saturn and DC. my ps2 has died and i havent kept up in a while. PC gaming, other than an occasional hitman and Battlefield.. not very much..with the exception of Maple Story, in which I play with 2 other 20+ soompiers on a daily basis
right now playing with my friend's DS lite and loving it. am intending to get that new flash cartridge (that sits flush in the GBA bay) that'll let me play mp3s, movies, MSN, and games.

i play a lot of winning eleven 10, tekken, street fighter with my homies... never touched an MMO for fear of what it will do to my life

i want a ds! but can't justify the purchase to myself, cause it seems to be a passing fancy

[incyphe]

DS looks pretty tempting.. the screens are just really beautiful...

I bought PS2 just so I can play Gran Turisimo series... though i'm not sure if I'll fork over $600 for PS3....

But on PC, the only games I play are Free Cell and Minesweeper.

get the DS. Keri will be very happy if you do

Alas, the whole gaming thing is way beyond me. I'm too old now.
The only handheld "game" I have is this digital blood pressure cuff.
And go figure, I'm going for the LOW score...

[srenity]

i've been playing games ever since i was a preschooler xD (MS DOS games ftw!!) i like all varieties. but the only ones that i dont fancy are sports (except NBA jam!!! anyone remember this game on genesis?!?!? )and MMORPGs

i enjoy a lot of old games (mid 80s-late90s). they truly dont make games like that anymore... =/ i especially prefer the action adventure games made by sierra and lucas arts (ie monkey island, maniac mansion, king's quest, laura bow, etc). i still play them when i have time.
along with those PC games, i still play some older games through emulators/roms (SNES and Genesis).

right now, i'm currently into my DS. those who are thinking about it, get it! it's truly innovative and fun with the stylus. DS games i'd recommend are: trauma center, phoenix wright, brain age/big brain academy, animal crossing.

as much as i frequent my DS, i very very frequent the arcades. i play every week ^^;;;; . the machines i usually play are wangan midnight: maximum tune, battle gear, beatmania, pop n music, and drummania. there are tons others that i play, but this post itself is just a smudge off the list of games i play =]

i agree with you there. i actually miss typing out commands in those old-school games like "look under bridge" or "kiss frog" because at least it necessitates having an idea of what you want to do. most of the games that i would consider most similar to KQ or maniac mansion these days are just point and click -- you know you've hit upon something when you're moving the mouse around and the cursor happens to change. you can seriously win as long as you're willing to find the "button". i don't think anyone knows what i'm talking about hehe. and even though the graphics and music and all that stuff own, the new games just don't have the same sense of humor. so yeah, KQ was my favorite (and esther, i LOVED the online peasant's quest game; it was incredibly hilarious)!

i haven't played any games for awhile now, but the ones i say i like today are sim city (love making little cities), sims (1 more than 2, don't know why), and games like syberia and dark fall and myst.

[HtyPotter]

I never played video games throughout middle and high school. In college i would play halo on the xbox from time to time, but no, I'm not a "gamer." But everyone has their own method of escapism, so you can never be too old for it.

[d3mon]

I havent played as much these last few years as i used too.

now i only play;

- DS lite; brain age and big brain academy
- ps2; Guitar freaks, guitar heros
- PC; all kinds of emulation

[Mick]

Right now (and for the last 1-1.5 years) I've been into WoW, but I think I'm finally ready for the next big MMORPG. Personally I think the Burning Crusade exp pack will ruin the series.

I used to play Kingdom Hearts on PS2 and a little of KH2. I have a Gamecube for Mario Kart, Smash Bros and Mario Party. They are fun games to play with friends and family.

And I also recently picked up a DS Lite. I gotta say its pretty awesome. There are some really fun things that can be done with the touch screen stylus system.

[Foreversky]

I sold my PSP to get a DS LITE (white), and i must say, its ALOT more... innovating and engaging than teh psp. No more 5 min loading times, games are more fun, and i realli like that touch pad screen (first i thought it was ghey). Def get it, its worth it.

Other than that i play starcraft and lineage 1 every now and then >.<

[theonecalledy2ckt]

i have nes, snes, n64, ps1, ps2, and gamecube. my ds is out of comission atm . all the systems i just keep because i love them.

mostly, i play ddr. like you couldn't tell that from my location and my sig.

oh man, maniac mansion. now THAT's old school. You probably heard of this by now, but one of the flash cartridges that will be released in august will let you run Monkey island on the DS.

Girls who are into gaming are hot hot hot

*adds +10 points to Mel*
I've played sim city 1, 2000, and 3000. Unfortunately I could never get my cities to grow after a certain population level

[Seipher]

I want to get a DS lite just so I can play New Super Mario Bros. and battle it out online with Mario Kart.

As far as my gaming habits go, I play about an hour a day, usually just Madden 06 on my PC. I can't get enough football. Last non-football game I played was Half Life 2 Ep.1. Every once in a while I fire up an emulator and play some Super Nintendo or Sega Genesis games.

niiiice! i'm not sure how it'll work (b/c i lack technology knowledge ), but i'd love to have it!
i actually played only a little bit of maniac mansion. i couldnt play it b/c the graphics were just horrible >__<;; and i kept dying. but i played 'day of the tentacle'. grrrreat game. i like the idea of having to control multiple characters in 'real time'

has anyone seen the aug06 edition of Computer Gaming? it features sam and max on the cover, and they interview two of the old-school game developers/designers.

i never could cross that barrier either, but i didn't care. i prefer to have small, well-functioning cities with happy people. it's harder to maintain happiness levels with giant cities with tons of skyscrapers. that could be a lesson in life too, if you stretch it out a little.

man, maniac mansion brings back good memories. i think there's somewhere where you can play it online, and i did. it's so weird because when you're little and you're playing it, it's all good, but then you're grown up and you revisit it and it's like orange and purple tentacles drinking pepsi or something and you're like, wtf kinda awesome substances were the game creators on when they made this? but i used to love that game on nintendo.

[DividedByZero]

I haven't seriously gamed since middle school.

Although I am planning to camp out for a Wii on release day, if I don't like it I can always sell it on ebay during x-mas time.
