Game Evaluation

I got into computers by playing games. My first obsession was Noah's Ark. Do you Know that one?I stayed up and played it all the time. But eventually I got tired of it.back in the day I would play Collapse and Cubix.Cubix is my favorite game now. but I only play it on holidays.I am here on My Lot most of the time I am online these days.

Lara Croft Tomb Raider was my undoing on the Playstation. At first my partner and I would play but then I would play when he wasn't home and he would want the TV when he was. I was lucky though, I worked 30 hours a week with about 4 hours travel and he was a cab driver, working a 60 hour week...so I had lots of free time...lol. I got the game out a few months back but I got stuck early on and lost interest....I have 5 or six Lara games and I've played them twice each so far...I know how easy it is to become addicted.

I have been obsessed with Turbo 21 on the Pogo site. It moves fast, is challenging and fun. The jackpot amount has been the same for about the last year or more. Waiting for it to bust one day and it would be nice if I did win it but don't see that happening. I'll be less active the next couple of months because of work and babysitting our grandbaby. This means myLot will also suffer!

I wouldn't say I ever got to the point I would play a game and neglect everything out but I have done many scrabble marathon, 8 hours at a time all weekend though.

Breath of Fire (SNES), Return of the Jedi (SNES), and Valkyrie Profile (playstation). I used to play games a lot more when I lived at home cause my brother was big into it and one of us would play while the other watched and commented. Now I read more.

I have become obsessed with many games over my life time. When I was younger I actually burned out my Commodore 64 because I was trying to reach the ultimate score, 999,999,999. We couldn't even imagine that a score could go higher than that. To us in those days a hundred million was unimaginable. As I got older and the video game systems advanced my goals towards gaming changed. It became a matter of trying to beat the game without the game guides. In the beginning that was easy. But gaming has advanced beyond my expertise now. I feel that I can't pick up the patterns as quickly as I used to. Or figure out the secret hidden paths to things. I use game guides more than I would like to admit. I was a monster in Half-Life and Doom. I actually had to take motion sickness pills because I was in front of the screen for so many hours. Then I learned the cheat codes for the game and I just annihilated the game. Speaking of which I haven't played those games in YEARS. There was one game though that we admitted defeat when we couldn't find the hidden items. Lego Batman was a great game to play with a friend. I was addicted to the game matter of fact we didn't even finish the hidden game board - The Wayne Maynor. I just recently played Lego Star Wars with my mom (I know...I'm a little behind on my games, working on catching up with some that have been out for awhile.) My mom became so addicted to figuring out the game that when she finally did it was 3AM and I needed my sleep. I think she continued playing for another hour or so. LOL.
