What Video Games Have You Been Playing #12: Rage Quit - ain't my thing

[Timsup2nothin]

My first all-night games session was in the early 80s, it was sponsored, and we played a variety of boardgames and RPGs.

I had several all night LIVE game sessions in the seventies, but they weren't sponsored. Mostly D&D, some Diplomacy. Other 'flash in the pan' RPGs that we picked up and tried but none of them really caught on.

I think I managed to pull an all nighter or two as a kid, in the SNES era. I don't recall before that. One game I definitely did it with was NBA Jam. Not because it was my favorite game, just worked out that way that particular night.

I can still do it, but it's physically hard enough on me now that I generally don't want to do it, and/or regret when I do on weekends.

@Timsup2nothin try this site : http://imacoconut.com/dungeons-of-daggorath/ I'm on my work computer now so I can't install but I think the game should work
@Akka I can perfectly understand Your anticipation and pullin all-dayer ? right after all-nighter ! I remember when a copy of Alpha Centauri I've ordered arrived .... Ohhh boy !! I don't remember how long I played . I was exhausted but happy

Suddenly *I* feel old.

That's because you ARE

Honestly I prefer old graphics a lot of the time.

Can't argue with that, I didn't bother with Starcraft Remastered because I found the new graphics to be inferior to the old ones.

Well, that was actually one of the few times I managed it at this age. Amusingly, I couldn't really skip a night when I was younger (at best I wouldn't sleep for one night, but would collapse during the next day before it was night again). It's only recently that I've been able to endure it (not willingly, happened during heatwave, when I just couldn't sleep because I can't stand heat) without too much hassle.

You guys need to quit complaining about your age.

I definitely prefer the old graphics in the original Halo. One exception was AoE 2, had to make use of the HD remaster there because my computer couldn't display the original graphics correctly.

Yeah, whatever, dad granddad great-granddad.

Thanks!

Now I gotta figure out how to adapt it to my monitor.

Well, I knew I was, but all your complaining had me thinking that you were too. Whippersnapper.

That's the only perk of becoming older, so no.

Well, I'm old compared to those who are younger
From a video game point of view, I'm a grandad. I'm going to posture as much as I can about it

In the Witcher 3, I'm supposed to go talk to the baron about...something. So obviously the proper thing to do is go riding around in the woods and chasing sheep on the opposite side of the map.

Spoiler :

It's a pretty game.

Fired up a game of Offworld Trading Company last night. Meh.

I haven't played much of it since I bought it. Last night was really the first try. Honestly, if you have to open a spreadsheet to play a game I think it's pass worthy.

You haven't seen the half of it.

So no Football Manager for you, then?

Nope. No football for me. Nor American Football.

I've never stayed up all night to play a game, but I have stayed up late. The first time was when I was around 10, playing Super Bomberman 2 until 2 in the morning.

I haven't even gotten out of the second area. There's a whole lot to explore.

Okay, let's scratch that : you haven't seen a fourth of it

I'm pretty sure my first unintentional, or at least, by-product all-nighter was from Civ 4. One More Turn, baby.

I finished my CKII playthrough (820ish?-1453?) and have imported my save into EUIV and.. I'm not interested in playing it. That was the whole point of my playthrough and I'm feeling meh about it. Maybe CKII is the better game after all
