Hi Becky, Yup you may ask and I'm going to get in trouble with some of these but here goes. Threepwood, I think that's his name, Siberia, Age of Mythology. Now Age of M, I bought it and my granddaughter, Erin, liked it so much I gave it to her. Bought another and try and try and try not to kill off a total army in seconds but each time I did. Started over same thing so it ended on the floor under my pounding foot. Ha,Ha. $30.00. MOS, to me like Siberia it is a lame time waster. S didn't get smashed but MOS did. Worm Blaster, don't buy it!!! Couldn't get through the tutorial! It's a dumb game. Frankenstein. I really wanted to play it but it was so buggy and I tryed so hard but I believe that one I hit with a hammer. That might be all. That behavior isn't to bad considering the effort and money invested in these games. There might be more, just can't think of them right now.

Wow! You guys are making me feel right at home. I have three adventure games loaded, not to mention many arcade and puzzle games. I also have two PCs, one old and a new one. I also have a closet full of games and my game room has other games piled up all over the place. My friends and family think I'm strange. Thank goodness you all understand!

I recall one game that I threw away in the trash as I was so upset with it. You will never guess, but it was Nancy Drew, Secret of Shadow Ranch. I was having problems with some of the action stuff (using the lasso for one) but I managed, but the ending of the game was impossible.

<span class="spoiler_containter"><span class="spoiler_wording">Click Here For A Spoiler</span><span class="spoiler_text">I couldn't get away from the killer. Nancy would hear him calling how close he was getting ("Only one more door!")and it completely distracted me. It was in a maze yet!</span></span>

I was thinking of buying more Nnacy Drew games until that happened and put me off forever. At least, forever so far!

Sierramindy -- Never say forever!

Yankee Clipper -- interesting reactions. I've only once considered microwaving a game disk. But then I thought: "What if this ruins my microwave?" Good thing I didn't I think. Now, years later, I might actually replay the game. The memory of frustration has faded...

Pollo Diablo---Shoot! Well, I've been wanting to go live in England for years so maybe I should just pack up hubby and the pets and head over...then get a PAL system. LOL sigh....

Starlite Moon----Well, at one time I had 60+ games but I've gotten rid of alot in the past few months, so my stash isn't as big as it used to be. Now it's aot 35 or so, but not nearly as big (and wonderful!) as 2000! Can I come t your
basement and look in your boxes? You've got my inner game collector drooling! LOL LOL

Rushes, Marion, Nora, JLDCat and the rest: thank you for making me feel NORMAL!!! lol lol

"Good non fattening fun" I love it!!!!


Hugs to all you guys,
Cat

Mee-yow... that's what your kitty friends are for.

(Licks paw)

Games are like books, don't you think? For me they have taken over reading and math problem solving and cryptograms. Some games really make the brain tingle . People have libraries so we can have game libraries. Games like books can be classics and some I wonder why I bother and the latter are thrown out or the other fate. I wonder how many games Threads has.

, I've also put in my time, so to speak. What I do with my free time is earned. That I spend much of it enjoying fabulous games, and conversing about those games with wonderful Boomers like all of you, well....it is what it is.

Hi! My name is Ti'chelle and I am an addict.

Hey catbelly. I am surrounded by games. Most I have played, two stacks that I have not. A few are waiting for me to upgrade my video card to be able to properly play them. (Dreamfall is one.)

Not only do I have many games loaded, I also subscribe to Big Fish Games and GameTap. I also hang out in the Cavern from time to time.

Well, I did qualify that forever somewhat by adding that "so far" but I have a strong hunch that I've had it with that series.

So now, what is this game that you almost microwaved? What a really, truly novel way of destroying a game, or a microwave, as the case might be!

I respectfully can say ...That I have found
No Game that I have played...IS Going to the Microwave...
Money I have spent...Is always worth a Third try on a Game..
Unless You get Sea Sickness that is...

I don't even HAVE a microwave, but I almost bought one for Paradise.

Your not going to like this Cat,but i will tell you what your other so called friends won't.
YOUR SICK.You can't get through the day with out a game FIX.You set twisting your fingers ,pacing back and forth waiting for the mail,so you can rip the wrapper off and cram that disk in the drive to load it and as that install bar starts moving so slowly you feel the rush and then and only then can you settle down to see what game has come.
Yes Cat you are a SICK kitty.
Your only hope is a slower hobbie.Bird watching or stamp collecting come to mind.
I hope you take this advice.Now i have to go and decide which of the nine games i am playing now to play today.....HEHEHEHEHEHE Ron.

That sounds like a good problem to me.

Sierramindy -- the game was Lighthouse. Odd, that now I occasionally feel it calling to me for a replay.

Oh gosh, Becky,
I remember Lighthouse and I couldn't finish it. I no longer have it (moved twice since those days and many games have "disappeared") but I also hear it faintly calling me now and then. I seem to remember those parts I managed to play better than some recent games that I actually finished. Odd is right!

Tichelle, Yankee Clipper, et. al....You guys are wonderful. Let's pass around the coffee, some cake and talk about our problems! I'll go first, "My name is Cat and I'm a game-a-holic."

Ron--LOL LOL LOL Please send me to a sanitarium....or maybe an insane asylum, whatever's in vogue these days. I need help!

Cat who should be ashamed and yet, miraculously, is not. lol

Hi Cat, we are the best of company aren't we? And something else - a new study said that gaming improved the eyesight YES YES so now I'm playing Zuma without my thick glasses(nearsighted). I used to cook, clean, garden, run to the library every 2 weeks befor gaming. Was a real good picture of a grandma. And now I dream about my games. Some scarey games can give you nightmares. Once I kind of solved a Rhem problem while just waking up. Still, could someone out there write a game for smart kitty cats.

I play. Therefore, I am.
