So it occurred to me today that i really enjoy playing games. Any kind it doesn't matter what it is. I'm not very competitive i just enjoy the thrill of playing. Does anyone play computer games? i love solitaire, bejeweled, and mahjong.

Yes, I do. Now I play on Pogo. Turbo 21, word whomp and bookworm. I used to play Text Twist and Candy Cruncher on Iwon. Once I almost made it in the top 100 on Candy cruncher and my machine locked up. I mean I was there!!! Sometimes I do logic problems online. Those are fun to do. Majong is fun as well but I haven't played it in a while. But time gets away from me as well.

Maybe it is because they want you to download and pay for the full version. I used to play Cubis and made it through the 50 levels and it starts all over. But from time to time I play it anyways. I think I've played bejeweled but not that much. I play on pogo now so I can get points. For what? I don't know. Just to have them. I never turn them in for a chance to win money. Same thing with Iwon.

I like games very much, Brenna.
I like that table games (like monopoly) and cards.
I play solitaire, mahjong but lately I'm fond of spider.
My hubby has the playstation, the x-box and also the gameboy, but he prefers those conquering games at the computer. Once he bought a double player game where we had to fight zombies: it was very funny, I was very good at handling the katana but I had a lot of heart attacks every time the music changed, even before seeing a zombie. I was too involved...
I liked also the role games, and for years my uni-mates and I were vampires. Cool

I use to play the Sims but i can't anymore cuz my graphics card doesn't work. My computer is only a few years old and it's already obsolete. Fulvia, i love monopoly. I try to get the car as my piece but someone always beats me to it lol.

Brenna, I played bejeweled 2 today. I've played a game similar to this before but I can't remember the name. I haven't been able to get past level 4 or 5. I keep running out of moves!!!! It has 3 different levels of play though. I remember the other one, I would play and if I ran out of moves the game wasn't over. I think I played the timed version. I don't remember.

The only video game I ever played was Spiro PS1. That was when I only had one kid. I don't play any games now....I used to love Spiro even though I had to get a 6 year old to get me past a stuck point.

My father's friend use to have one of those old Atari systems that played Pong. Shows how far video games have come. Smile

Maybe I'm not hip to the groove, but I prefer pong, frogger, pacman, etc. to these new video games.

Yeah we had one. I didn't play it that much. Whenever I wanted to jump I would lift the controller instead of pressing the button. It was ok, nice to play every once and a while, but it wasn't a daily thing for me. I like board games a bit better, when you can get the whole family to play, it's much more fun.

I remember pong. I think the first video system was intellivision that our family had besides pong. My mom liked that one. Then I personally got the Sega Genesis. I liked that one. Then somebody bought the kids nintendo 64 and finally playstation 2. Jared never really liked video games but James did. I couldn't handle all the controls on the nintendo 64. Couldn't figure them out. Now they just play WOW on the computer. The video games are pretty much over here. But we thought of buying the Wii. I forgot board games. Tony and I would play Scotland Yard with the boys. Now that is a fun board game!!!!! I love that game.
