I absolutely LOVE computer games, though my addiction to the internet gets in the way of my gaming. X)

When I split up from David I couldn't give a toss about the furniture, I wanted the games & consoles! rofl

games used to be my whole life
but when i bought my electric guitar i must say that games stopped being my no1 and started being no2 3nodding
i spend more time playing games than on the guitar, but the guitar gives me more fun ^_^

I have a bunch of old Sega consoles & a GBA, & I buy RPGs for them. I have several either in progress or never started for my GBA because ever since a friend introduced me to Gaia I just hang here every day. biggrin
Same goes for my computer games. I have the strategy type world-builder games, like Civilization II, Pharoah, Caesar 3, Majesty, & a couple of others I haven't played yet.

it's always good to have a couple of consoles lurking around.

i don't dust mine off very often, but when i do i always wonder why i don't play on them more.
i have a Playstation and an N64, both a little hard to get games for now, but i'd never pay full price for them anyway.
i always used to get mine from the pre-owned bin 4laugh i'm such i tight-wad!

Some old games cost a pretty penny to get your hands on now, the last time I saw Panzer Dragoon Saga it was going for £85 in Gamestation.

The NES Legend of Zeldas are about £30 now, there's serious money in it if you pick the right titles but then again that goes for anything really. I get things to keep (& play) though.

I got a Sega CD just as it was phasing out & I found Lunar & Lunar Eternal Blue for it, both of which are my favorite RPGs! xd
I got a Saturn console later on though, & I just can't get games I want for it! I want the RPGs, not piles of sport games! gonk

i HAD a NES [ emo ] and i have a Sega Genesis
i would give my soul just to get Sega Saturn , i want to play Beyond Oasis 2 crying crying

as for computer games - RPGs are THE best, i also like good RTS games [age of empires, command and conquer series] , a nice FPS is also good [half life, far cry, f.e.a.r. ] ..

as for OLD games :

[PC] go here : http://www.the-underdogs.info/

for old console games , look on the net
i recently played the 1st Legend Of Zelda on my PC, when i have finally completed it [i havent played it for 15y !!! ] i nearly started to cry xD it was priceless !!
-> just go to g00gle, and type something like "legend of zelda rom" , then get a NES/SEGA/otherconsole emulator and run it ^_^

problem is : console like NES is very weak so it's possible to play games from it on a PC
but console like SEGA Genesis is stronger than a PC [not to mention newer consoles] and you wont be able to run the game on your PC sad but ! if you own a console i think it is possible to burn a game on the CD and play it on it ^O^ havent tried that one tho, i dont have a console that'd take a cd ^_^

woohooo, i hope that explains a bit xD if not - then just ask xD

I have an Oasis game for the Sega Saturn--I never finished it. The levels are really hard & by the time you get to the last one it's murder--& it's way up in the sky. If you get hit you will get knocked all the way back down to the ground & have to fight your way all the way back to that level again!! scream It was so frustrating it stopped being fun.
A friend had Shining the Holy Ark & I borrowed it & beat it. That was pretty cool. I always wanted to get that Pixie Bell but there was one pixie I could never find even with directions from the Internet.
The only halfway-RPG game I could get for my Saturn was the Monkey Island one. That was one weird game!

My friend chipped my DS so I can play NES, SNES, DS, GBA, Gameboy original, Amiga, Megadrive & Atari games via a supercard. I haven't tried the Megadrive or Atari stuff yet.

I'm not into chipping consoles normally but for the DS it's so worth it!

I meant what type of game you like.

I liked the tomb raider games personally, but never actually met anyone who completed them all. Especially number 4 & 5. They were bastards!

HA! i love Tomb Raider, but am pretty hopeless at it, i have the first and second game, i completed the first one but only because i had max weapons and level skip cheats.

can't do the second one at all, can't even get to the first save point crying

my ex sat there laughing at me getting frustrated with it, took the controller off me and get her to within inches of the first save at his first attempt mad i hate how men are so much better at games than girls.

i haven't dusted those of for a good few years, but i'm not even going to bother with Tomb Raider 2, no matter how much it taunts me! talk2hand
