I wonder does anyone here play video games? if so, which console and games?


I,ll start.

I own a Xbox 360 and a Wii U.

For years i used to play online games but i got fed up with paying for xbox live so now i only sp games. The Wiiu However has free online but no interesting mp games :roar:

Recently i bought GTA 5, which is awesome!
 
Well, you own exactly the same consoles as me (except - I also have an Atari 2600) ;)

I also bought the GTA 5 (Special Edition) on the launch day of 17 of september. Man, I don´t remember having played a game THIS much - ever (maybe Elite Frontier for Amiga, back in the days).

And yes, I´m a gamer, have always been a gamer - albeit I´m an "older" adult now, I´ll probably always play some games.

I´m more and more interested in retro-gaming now, maybe it´s my age. I plan to build a Mame-Arcade cabinet (I have the X-Arcade Joystick).

Used to play online games too, Jedi Knight Dark Forces II (On the ZONE), Quake II (Lithium Mod, in a clan), Quake III (didn´t have the same feel as QII), Counter-Strike and CS-Source...played that online for the LONGEST time. Still play it from time to time, I also play Team Fortress quite a lot...well....maybe not so much anymore.

 
Nice :)

We both have similair taste and experiences.

I played online games for years. I started in 99 with Delta force 2 and switched to Call of Duty ( the first ) and COD 2.

I had my own clan and we played on a high level.. when cod 1 and cod 2 were done ( on a clan base ) i tried modern warfare for a while. I got into a clan who were at that time nr 1 europe on clanbase but i never got that ''feeling'' back. Trying to get it back i played deathmatch tournaments in various games and venue's and i won all of them. Won nice prices and goodies but i got sick of it.

So i retired from clan gaming.

Now im laying low, knowing i could have become a force but it just didnt feel right to continue. ( i know this sounds cocky but i am not )

I bought a WiiU after seeing the lastest E3. It was the only console that made me smile lol. I grew up in the Genesis are and seeing the exclusive wii u games made me feel like a kid again.

JoOngle, Is it ok if i add u on the WiiU? perhaps we can play online one day? I seriously lack friends on the WiiU :)

What games do you have on the U?

I got:

Disney Infinity
Pikmin 3
Rayman legends
ZombiU
The wonderful 101
The walking dead
Nano Assault Neo



 
I'm a gamer, too. Started as a child when I bought my first "Schneider CPC" from my cousin which must have been in the late 80's. That thing still used cassettes to play games. And a green - colored monitor. Nonetheless, if you're 7 years old and this is your first gaming experience, it's fascinating.

After the Schneider CPC I bought the Commodore 64 from my cousin (yes he always sold me his old stuff but as a child you don't really care) and with the Commodore he also gave me boxes of floppy disks. It was amazing to see what they contained.

I could go on like this for hours but to make it short: Amiga 500, NES, Game Boy, Super NES, Mega Drive, PS1, Dreamcast, PS2, Wii and XBOX 360 were following and I still continue playing. Of course let's not forget about the PC. First game on my Intel 80386 PC (in Germany we called these old PCs "386er") was "Prince of Persia". God I remember some great games my buddy gave me. "Tie Fighter" with a dozen of floppy disks, "Monkey Island", "Day of the Tentacle"... Do you guys also still remember the times when you had to mess around with the autoexec.bat and config.sys in order to get games finally running? :)

Currently I'm also playing GTA V, I still love the Pro Evolution Soccer Franchise, Forza Horizon was also great. Would love to play much more but when you're coming home from work at about 8 PM it's kind of difficult.

By the way for all retro gaming fans out there, I just recently bought a magazine via ebay which is called "Retro Gamer". It doesn't get better than this. Pure nostalgia.
 
@Rioto, cool - just add me, it´s the same nick as here (JoOngle), I´ve always used that nick, 17 years on the net with that nick, PS3 network, wii, wii-u, Quake, CS etc. etc.

Anyone in here are free to add me on their Wii U.

@Mr. Peterson, nice...I´m too tired to add my history, but I can promise you, it would fill a few pages of consoles and personal computers. ;)

Yes, I do remember the meddling around in DOS, always trying to free up enough memory to make the game run, placing the MOUSE drivers in the upper memory etc. Oh times...

I remember when I had to write my own Harddisk-Script just to add a bigger harddrive to my Amiga 2000. And when I hacked an A590 Amiga 500 Harddisk to work on an Amiga 1000 (basically just turning it upside down)..ha ha.

I´ve even had real arcade machines.
