I must quit Online Games

[iebidan]

Ive been playing SOCOM II Online for 3 days now (I got my Lt Commander rank last night ) but I think I must quit, Ive only slept for 9 hours in 3 days, Im addicted now to this game.
Anyone else playing it???? maybe we can meet online and have a couple matchs

I love RPGs, but I refuse to play them online for this very reason... it would never end and my wife would kill me (its bad enough playing Call of Duty online, Knights of the Old Republic and Civilization 3 (STILL)).

Same here - when dealing with people online there is always that urge for a few minutes more....

Also if you want to stop is inviting people to join you in a game really a good plan

He is living in denial

He says he want to quit, but deep down he knows "oh just five more minutes"

 

[iebidan]

LOL, yeah, to identify an addiction, the first symptom is denial, and the "5 more minutes" turn to be 2 more hours.

"Hello my name is iebidan, an Im a onlinegamerholic"
OK, I have a problem, but this is fun!!!!!!!!!

Games are my life. If it means getting no sleep for a week, then so be it.

 

[iebidan]

Hey wyrd... lets get online, you name it, if I dont have it, Ill buy it

 

[samsmithnz]

You guys should try Call of Duty.

Many moons ago I was into gaming, loved Wolf3D, Doom, Quake and oh oh Duke Nukem 3D.....

But that was in another life

Now I watch in amazement at my son playing XBox live with all the new games and think....oh to be there again

I have the odd go at Crimson Skies, basically cos its about the only one where I can hit somethin

Duke3D - those were the days. http://jonof.edgenetwork.org/buildport/duke3d/

 

[Divil]

Ah, those were indeed the days. I spent more time designing and working on Duke3D levels than I did programming, surfing or chatting back in those days.

Hmm, I probably still have them somewhere...

Hog: I have an xBox, but Id still rather play Duke3D, Transport Tycoon or other old favourites of mine than most of the games Ive seen for it!

 

[iebidan]

oh yeah, those games, but you actual online games are cool too, you must try some of them, if youve XBox, try MechAssault for example or Unreal T., have PS2??? Socom II, GC stinks

 

[wyrd]

MA or UT? Ick. Rainbow Six 3 is where its at.

 

[Nerseus]

Wheres the online versions of the TRUE classics? Thats what Id like to see. What if I want to go head to head in Gauntlet, or Joust, or even Ms. Pacman?

Why has no one done that? I know there are a few ports out there, but no one has setup a master server. Maybe Gamespy could hook up with Atari and get us some classics, playable online! Hook it into Paypal and charge a quarter a game or a small monthly fee.

(drooling...) Donkey Kong...

I want to see multiplayer GameBoy games that you can play
online through an emulator or some type of cable, and I want
Nintendo to officially support it right now!

Actually, this wouldnt be too hard to program with a Winsock, a
Comm control, and a spliced link cable, now, would it? Hmm,
ideas, ideas....

Anyway, Im also a Halo junkie at the moment (and Im in MA!
What a coincidence!) Battlefield 1942 is another one of my favs.

 

[mutant]

Nerseus, Gauntlet is truly a classic. I still have it somewhere buried with my NES and Final Fantasy 1 .
As of right now I really got into Dark Age Of Camelot. Its a very nice MMORPG.

Atari released a package not too long ago with 100 games in it, but they all sucked. What you need to do is convert the old game, using new technology, so that you can play joust against other players, but it still looks the same (on maybe make the resolution a bit better, make it look a little bit better than it was).

joust would be cool on a network...
