I got obsessed with Tombraider when it first came out but it wasn't long lived. I haven't got into any others since.

I like video games. But its the story that I love. I lose interest in most video games if I have to master the controls to keep from dieing or lose a turn. If I have a cheat code so I can have unlimited lives I enjoy the game and actually finish it. I hate redundancy. If I have to repeat the beginning levels over and over then I quickly lose interest.

Does anyone remember the Choose Your Own Ending Stories?

Have you tried DOSBox?

It lets you run a lot of older DOS programs on newer operating systems (including Windows and Mac OS X).

I have been playing video games since Pokémon Red on the Game Boy Color. My friends also play video games as well. At the moment, I have 9 GBA titles, 20 Gamecube titles, 6 DS titles and 4 Wii titles. I'm currently playing Super Smash Bros. Melee on the Gamecube and am waiting for Super Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3, Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Legend of Zelda Phantom Hourglass. I like video games so much that I want to design them when I leave for a job.

If pc games count yes i like them.
I can't stand using a joypad.
On a pc i can play first person shooters great.
But when i play it on like a xbox it's like impossible to aim properly.

So i stick to pc's for all my gaming needs.
I mostly end up playing strategy games.
Sometimes mmorpg or a first person shooter game.

I prefer DVDs and movies. I guess I'm a bit Old-Fashioned. :)

I need help, I am seriously addicted to pogo, the website. Its driving me crazy. I can't stop popping the balloons on that pop it game. Normally I'm addicted to bejeweled 2 on hyper mode. I still play mario on my Ds too but mostly when I'm out of the house waiting somewhere like a Dr. office. I'm only good at the puzzle and fast games. Its an ADHD thing.
