Writer's Block: Top Five Video Games
Saw this on the homepage and had to answer:
1. Tetris (Nintendo). Couldn't get enough, back in the day. I got to level 19 regularly, rocket ships, etc. on the nintendo version.
2. We love Katamari (PS2). I play til I get nauseous, then I eat ginger candies and play some more.
3. Zoo Tycoon (PC). i love creating exhibits, although I'm still irritated that you can't put monkeys in the bathrooms.
4. Super Mario Kart (N64 version). I was always Yoshi or Toad. I wasn't particularly good, but I played a lot.
5. hmm... most of the rest, I spent more time watching than playing. When there used to be an arcade (called the Fun Zone) in the basement of the Century Mall, near where my family business is, I used to play Galaxian a lot. My brother and I would get five bucks, we'd change it into quarters in the machine, and split it. I always ran out fast, since he'd play Super Mario til he finished it on one quarter, and I'd just keep blowing myself up on Galaxian, or getting squashed by cars on Frogger. I was also particularly awful at Q-bert -- I really don't have much spatial sense, so I fell off constantly.
