Role Play Anyone?


I'm not an ardent gamer or anything, nor am i a BOY, but there is just something about video games that I really love.
Its perfect.
Perfect when you have nothing to do.
Perfect when you're pissed.
It is an outlet for every last bit of emotion you have in you.
Seriously.
No wonder boyfriends have none left in the relationship. I can bet the clingy ones are the type who don't play any video games.
In the last 5 or 6 odd years I haven't been playing any video games at all.
But when I was a kid, I was HOOKED. Whether it was those arcade games you have in villages or the very first PS 1 or the GameBoy Colour,  I'd have it. Super Mario I think was my best friend at one point of time in my life.
 And I had real enemies in Mortal Kombat. I think the source of all my sadism in life is the way the voice used to say "Finish Him". And street fighter (which i played today, btw). The Universe ofcourse revolves around Tekken-6 today.
The MOM got me off it because it wasn't a very girly addiction. Also, I had no grades as a result :P
But, now that I'm at law school, it is a re-found passion.
And yes, of course I suck. :P

Memories anyone?
Contra

WOHO! What a hornet's nest of memories you've stirred!! Contra, Supercontra, Mario, Supermario, Mario Bros and a host of other games that made us grow up into what we are! I remember trading game cassettes like mad, before the PS hit the market! Thank you for bringing it out in a flood! Thank you so much!:)
