Pure Fun

[_mike]

Oh yes, there was a Rescue Rangers game. It was on the PC and at that point one of the most frustratingly hard things I had ever played. This was in the DOS days, so I hadn't played that many games yet, and was just shy of illiterate, but I knew how to type in the command to make the game run. All I remember of it is this thing involving that cat dropping slime from the top of the screen, and I think I was supposed to get to the top, but I never could. Then I'd get frustrated and play mega-man, and get owned by these dogs because game programers back then liked to ignore the rapidly increasing processing powers of PCs, and after an upgrade to Phil and my computer, games would run anout 300 times too fast and make it so some stupid dog could kill me in half a second by repeatedly ramming into me.

Sorry about that rant, but those two games pissed me off.

Anyway, I think the most fun I have had with a game occured after a night on the town followed by playing Katamari for the first time. I had no idea what I was doing, and had to fight the ball to get it to move anywhere, but I was having an awesome time. Good times... If someone bothers to read this post, and then thinks to themselves "Wow, I didn't have that much trouble figuring out how to get that ball to move," this next sentence is directed at you. I already said why it was hard, just think about it. Of course, no one's gonna read any of this post, so it doesnt matter.
