Teach my lazy arse about computer/console games

Frogger was probably the first game I played. They had it in the waiting room of my childhood dentist. Magical.

 

[IdleRich]

Ah yes, played that and variants such as Hedgehog on the BBC.

I had an Acorn Archimedes A3000, did anyone have one of those. Repton 3 was a big fave. And Pacmania.

And this bat and ball one called fireball which had really good music.

And then a sort of fight em up war thing called shib or shiv or something like that.

No one else had this computer though, it was like the last one before PCs.

fuck me granny's garden. talk about a blast from the past

Our jr school had the only computer (bbc) within a cluster of about 8 or 9 local state schools and even then it was only allowed in one classroom. Loading GG on tape. Never saw the conclusion.

Fun aside, when I first stumbled on GGG I had a pre-thought flash of Granny’s Garden. Def not a gran or a garden.

A couple of mates swear by this

Through the Darkest of Times on Steam

Berlin 1933. “Adolf Hitler is chancellor!” We all know the consequences this message bore. Unspeakable horrors and suffering would sweep across the world. Few would stand and fight the monstrosity that was the German Reich. Will you? Lead an underground resistance group Through the Darkest of Times.

Fuck it, PS4’s seem to be dropping, I just want virtual murder, gloating and not a golf club in sight.

You're a man of the world, WYH. You don't want to play at stealing Skodas or smushing strippers with cricket bats. Put the kids to bed, knock up a Whiskey Sour, clip a fresh Montecristo and dim the lights. This is death or glory. The real deal. How many dreams will die before dawn?

My parents didn't want me going to arcades and wasting my pocket money (ie, their money) on Jailbreak so they told me there were gangs of child molesters with syringes full of paralysing drugs who lurked around the machines and would jab you and carry you out - if the security asked what was going on, they'd say, "Oh, my son just fainted, I'm taking him out for air."

So arcades always had an illicit, edgy vibe for me, but I never really got into gaming. I liked Operation Wolf but sucked at not killing the hostages. Some of the younger ones where I work play GTA 5 Online but they seem to take it seriously and complete missions to win points, instead of winding up Americans and getting them to scream down their mics.

Penny arcades and the slots, same rule

"You'll not be going to the arcades or slots when we're in Skegness, ok, no arguing"

- "but the slots are fun, Dad"

"and that's where youse'll become a wee slot, so you will"

Can you customise the hashashin with Brooklyn cultural mafia ISIS regalia?

My brother got a working N64 and we managed a Goldeneye multiplayer session this afternoon. He keeps going Oddjob though, which means you tend to crack rounds over the cunt’s head

Ever play Nightfire? In that, when you play as Oddjob, you get to throw his hat at people. Insta kill.

 

[WashYourHands]

highly aroused by that.
