Level 99 Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 List the game you really want to play when the mood randomly strikes and you're doing other things. Example: You're eating your lunch at work and really REALLY want to go home and play Typing of the Dead. Or you're sitting in the car stuck in traffic and you suddenly have a craving to play Legacy of the Wizard. Different games for different times. Ready? Go! Quote
Final Hero Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 The middle of my Media Theory class. I was grabbed by the strongest urge to race home, hop on the PS1 and get me some Final Fantasy VII lovin'. Quote
Meteo Xavier Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 I haven't had any urge to play videogames in years. I play them anyway, but I don't enjoy it. Quote
Cecilff2 Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 I get this with Dungeon Keeper I and II sometimes. Simcopter too. I think it's just because they're awesome games. Quote
Gario Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 I haven't had any urge to play videogames in years. I play them anyway, but I don't enjoy it. Ha, I think that's a clinical addiction, buddy. The game I get random urges to play... X-com. I'll be sitting around doing something, and suddenly I'll have this urge to do a speedrun of X-com. It's a little disturbing, even if it is the most perfect game in existence. Quote
Kizyr Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 I really want to get back to DragonQuest IX while sitting here at work... There was the one day my hard drive failed, so all I did all day was play Super Mario 64 DS while waiting for tech support to believe me that my computer was actually broken. KF Quote
Kenobio Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 Every so often I really get in the mood to play some SSFII:Turbo, Smash Bros. Melee, or Zelda: Ocarina of Time. When I was younger, I'd get impulse feelings to replay various Final Fantasy games. Quote
StandingInMotion Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 Pretty much any game from my childhood. This includes a lot of obscure NES games like Startropics 1 and 2, Rainbow Islands, and not-so-obscure Zelda II. I do have to be in a particular mood to play a game to fully enjoy it... For instance, Final Fantasy III is probably one of my favorite games of all time, but if I just pick it up and play it, I might get bored if I'm not in the right mood. Quote
linkspast Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 DDR. Every time I drive by the arcade I get hit with Paranoia that they took the trip machine. Then I get a Healing vision. only to realize that the Captain has been Jacked. . Quote
Schwaltzvald Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 Currently at work, been feeling the urge to either grind multiple floors in Disgaea 3's Item/Class worlds, or play some Advance Wars games... Also I tend to get the urge to play Castlevania IV around 8pm... Quote
Meteo Xavier Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 Ha, I think that's a clinical addiction, buddy. How so? I want to enjoy them again, but I just don't get any urges or wants to play anymore. Its kind of a forced thing. Quote
Malaki-LEGEND.sys Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 Currently at work, been feeling the urge to either grind multiple floors in Disgaea 3's Item/Class worlds, or play some Advance Wars games... Also I tend to get the urge to play Castlevania IV around 8pm... I find that this happens to me more often than not. Wanting to play a specific game at a specific time. Usually I want to play Eternal Sonata around 7 PM and a fighter before or after that... Quote
ZealPath Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 Even though I haven't done it in a few years now, towards New Years I get the urge to play through Zelda ALttP, since I used to do a yearly psuedo-speedrun-one-sitting type deal with it. Maybe I should go do that right now... nah, well damn, I DO kind of want to though! Quote
DusK Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 It's never one specific game. But it's usually a Genesis game. Quote
Broken Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 It really depends on my environment. When I used to have GGPO on my computer, I would play Street Fighter Alpha 2 on a whim. Now that my gamecube is in my room, I get random urges to play super smash bros. melee, resident evil 4, or sonic mega collection. Quote
PROTO·DOME Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 Definitely depends on mood but the most common must be: Portal, Pokémon and Tetris... Oh my gosh I crave Tetris. Quote
Gario Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 I want to enjoy them again, but I just don't get any urges or wants to play anymore. Well, if you don't have the urges that's different... but why would you play them if you don't have any urges? Just don't play them anymore - I won't tell anyone . I was sort of joking about the 'addiction', by the way . Quote
DJMetal Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 Every time I go on a road trip, I crave Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. I swear, I get three miles outside of town and BAM, I suddenly wanna be roaming through that all too familiar castle again. Quote
Meteo Xavier Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 Well, if you don't have the urges that's different... but why would you play them if you don't have any urges? Just don't play them anymore - I won't tell anyone But I don't want to NOT play them. I hate having shit I can't use, so I sell or toss them, and what happens if I get the urge again later in life? Old games are about impossible to retrieve without whoring yourself on the herpesite Ebay. Quote
Malaki-LEGEND.sys Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 Then don't sell your shit. I still haven't sold off FFVIII and I get the urge to play that at least once a year. Quote
Level 99 Posted July 30, 2009 Author Posted July 30, 2009 I completely relate to the "i want it the moment I get rid of it" syndrome, which is why I hesitate on throwing stuff away or selling it a lot. But oh well, sometimes we all need money and/or more room to store shit. I was at the gym today and I had this crazy urge to come home and play some left 4 dead. Quote
LuketheXjesse Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 I have this urge to go back and play Rayman again... it's mostly with old games really. Quote
SoulinEther Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 right before sunset i want to play diablo 2. I finished Act 1 for the first time when the sun was setting, and the lighting in my room at that time always reminds me of how great it felt to kill that demon bitch andariel. Quote
Dhsu Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 But I don't want to NOT play them. I hate having shit I can't use, so I sell or toss them, and what happens if I get the urge again later in life? Old games are about impossible to retrieve without whoring yourself on the herpesite Ebay. Never had a problem with eBay. Quote
Cerrax Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 For some reason, every time I go into the cooler at work, I want to play Oblivion. Weird. Quote
