Video Games

[goo-goo-gjoob]

I got rid of my PlayStation years ago - thought I was wasting too much time on it.
But I just bought one again because I missed playing my favourite game, the Tomb Raider series

Still worried that it's going to consume too much free time, especially while going to school, but hey...

So, how many of you are still gamers, and at what age? Me = 19

Xbox @ 25

I'm biased, so will say Xbox...

What sort of gaming are you after?

I was a heavy duty gamer from 1978-1990ish (played MUD online in 1988), then work, starting a business and getting married meant I stopped. Now my children spend so much time on the Playstation 2 I've just fitted a timeswitch. But it means I do play a bit now.

Will probably buy a PSP.

Ooh, I've got one of them too. With a Superscope. Wikkid.

Don't have time to play any of these though, given I am at work till past ten most nights.

Just something fast 'n' furious with great graphics and sound ....my mates all say PS2 ....but i can't see whats wrong with the X-Box meself??????

[slinky]

Like I say, I'm biased towards the marvellous box of X, but having played games on both the PS2 and Xbox, the Xbox seems to be better..

Xbox live, personal sound tracks and built in hdd make it a cracking machine..

Not at home enough now so I got N Gauge, Tomb Raider was good on it, much better than I expected. Feel a little self concious sometimes holding 'tacho bell' to my ear when using it as phone. 35 (I think!)

Several Nintendo Game & Watch games

I've been playing video games since I was about 4, and I think I'll be playing them until I die

I'm and can't stop playing Nascar Racing 3.

Totally addictive, and a never-ending battle to get my lap times down at Watkins Glen...

Tempest 2000 was just the best game ever, wasn't it?
