I do enjoy video games. I had games for the computer when they still put programs on cassette tapes. Then we had the Atari and the other old one which I can't remember the name of at the moment. I was so excited when I got my Nintendo. I would spend hours curled up playing Super Mario Brothers while my mom watched. I have good memories of spending time with her trying to teach her how to play. They were brought up again a couple weekends ago when I was teaching how to play Wii. She went out and bought one the next day. Anyway, I still have a ton of NES games. I left my NES at my parent's house because my mom enjoys Tetris and Dr. Mario. We've had a plethora of systems. Right now we have teh XBox 360, Wii, and N64. I have only finished one game since the NES and that is Paper Mario for the Gamecube. I can never get into a game enough to see it to the end. Plus, I usually watch JJ finish it and that's enough for me. For 1-player games, I enjoy Zelda, Beautiful Katamari, and Roller Coaster Tycoon or whichever version I have. When we have people over, we play Halo, MK, and/or Wii Sports. What I play the most (almost everyday) is Wii Fit and DDR. I love that video games now have workout features.

I have had 2 games that I really loved and never got the chance to finish. One was Sanitarium for the PC. The other was a Sega Dreamcast game. I found it the other day at a store that sells old systems. I might spend the $100 to get the system and the game just to finish it. A guy I was dating had it and I broke up with him before I finished the game.

For computer games, I really enjoyed the Myst games.

Snowy: I had a lot of educational games too. My favorite was 'Where in the World is Carmen San Diego?' The strangest was an NES game I had that taught you how to play the stock market and keep a girlfriend happy. Yes, games were very male-centric in the 80s/90s. I think that it has broadened out over the years to include many demographics.

Medusa, Mario Kart is a lot of fun and even with practice, I still get my ass kicked.
