That's the point - you're working, so don't play - when I'm working, I don't play.

And when I'm not working, I try and step away from the computer.

My problem with alot of modern games is that they are too concerned with graphics than the actual gameplay.
They have also got very repetative, RPG's anyway.

I spent close to $1000 on a graphics card a few years ago so im not playing old games untill fell I got my moneys worth. Not that its that hard to find decent games with great graphics - play Doom 3 at night with the lights of and you'll see what I mean, then theres Half Life two one of the most emersive games ever made and farcry, Dawn of war, Rome:Total war, or for RPGs: Guild Wars(mmmm so pretty)

and Oblivion

I was a big game fan for 20 odd years on and off, from Sinclair ZX81 to XBOX/PS2 with most consoles in between. Then a few years ago I lost all interest. I dont know if it was because games got bigger and more complicated, demanding more of my time or that I just wasnt prepared to give them the time anymore. Probably a bit of both.

The only games I would play on my own now is retro stuff on emulators for the PC, old simple stuff like Pacman, Moon Cresta, Galaxians, Rainbow Islands. Simple uncomplicated stuff with good gameplay. I still occasionally have an odd game on SNES and N64 emulators, Super Mario World and Ocarina of Time still play great.

I wouldnt mind playing a big RPG again but not on my own, it would have to be a 2 man effort with someone else to keep the enthusiasm going.

I wouldn`t say strange, maybe just different?
I love gorgeous graphics (like they have in oblivion) but I still mourn to play "Bandit Kings of Ancient China" propperly.And that was like 10 years ago I played it.

I would play 'Alex the kidd' if I could get hold of a sega master system.

I loved that game.

Remember the tune anyone?

Denie Alconn · 26th March 2006, 12:52 AM

What system was that on?

Denie Alconn · 26th March 2006, 01:11 AM

what, the old mega drive? Wicked!!!

weaveworld · 26th March 2006, 01:18 AM

It was the master system II that was out before the mega drive (which I also loved, I use to play sonic constantly!).

Denie Alconn · 26th March 2006, 01:30 AM

oh dear, I always thought the sega mega drive drive was the first one, I learned something new
