What games do you secretly play...

Adagio · July 31, 2003, 12:01

...and don't want your friends to know about...

Now it's time to tell the truth

To be hornest I don't play any "secret games", but I believe most of the games I play makes people

though I don't keep them secret...

I used to play The Sims

/me notices everybody is schocked

I have played all addons, except for the last one... didn't really want to spend hours reinstalling the game as the last addon was released

I also from time to time, play those old hentai (?) games, where you have to say the right thing in the right time, to "get to know her better"

Though it's not because the pictures I play those games, it's because of the story (Yes, they actually do have a story

)

How about you..? Now is the time to step up for confession

That makes it even more pathetic.

My secrets: All those unkown games that no one pays attention to. Some of them are 'value games'. Ghostmaster, King of Dragon Pass, Europa the Guild, and Robot Arena 2 are the ones currently on my hard drive. Despite being good games, they lack any sort of flashy presentation or hype, so some people tend to look down on them.

I never found a Hentai game that had any kind of challenge or multiple plot routes to it, they just seemed to be a "click through the smutty story" kind of thing. Even the best storyline (Nocturnal Illusions) didn't really let you fail at any point. Perhaps you can suggest ones I've overlooked? I find many don't run under XP anyhow.

On the other hand I did (and still do) enjoy the Leisure Suit Larry and Spellcasting games where you had to work a bit harder to get the girls - and saw a lot less.
I really think its healthier to be playing a game where you're trying to get the girl than chainsaw apart a thousand people in full photorealistic technicolor. Unfortunately the games industry insists on spending only about 1% of the budget on producing cheap rip offs when they make one, instead of tyring to make a really good game. Ok its a lot healthier being down the pub trying to chat up a real person, but the GF would take a dim view of that one

I occassionally play some RTS and FPS games.

Harry Seldon · July 31, 2003, 13:58

I play this really horrible import called Top Shop. It's like a board game for the Playstation where you roll a pencil for dice and open shops in a mall. I don't know why but it's one of the most addictive games I've ever played. I can pretend it's a TBS when I play it, though.

Sounds like you haven't tried "3 Sisters Story" yet...

You can't die at any point, so you'll always get to the end... Though there's only one way to actually win the game, and I haven't found that way yet

Though it doesn't work on WinXP, so you'll need to have two OS on your computer (or two computers)

I haven't played it in a while, since I usually don't play long time at a time, so I don't want to reboot into WinMe just to play 10-15 minutes...

logical journey of the zoombinis and Simtown.

Not secret from my family (a certain member of whom insists i play them) of course, but not the kinds of things i'd post about here.

Sarxis · July 31, 2003, 14:32

Like you ADG, I played the Sims once. My wife bought it, and she went away on vacation the next day without having played it yet. So I gave it a whirl. Was fun that one day- never played it again though.

But secretly I play... XXXXXX XXX

MattH · July 31, 2003, 21:48

The Sims (I bought all the expansions up til' vacation!)

Uhhhhh... Sim theme park

MattyBoy · July 31, 2003, 23:01

I'm good at keeping secrets.

gopher · July 31, 2003, 23:29

Moo3!!!!!!!

Dis · August 1, 2003, 02:55

I'm not really ashamed at playing the Sims. I told my brother about it.

But the game just didn't hold my attention for more than a few days.

Maquiladora · August 1, 2003, 03:56

**** Quest or Richard Scarry's Busytown (age 5 and under) that was one hard game!

Skanky Burns · August 1, 2003, 05:10

I openly play the Sims. Not very often, around every 6 months to a year. Not due to play it again for quite a while. Bought up to Hot Date, but wasn't impressed with that expansion pack.

Grumbold · August 1, 2003, 05:25

I've never played the Sims, but thats mainly because I keep seeing more expansions come out and being put off at the thought of spending an endless stream of cash on it. If they release a bumper economy pack with a lot of the expansions in then I'll probably bite.

Skanky Burns · August 1, 2003, 06:24

The first one I got was the game + the first 3 expansion packs. If I didn't have the game and saw it again, I would not buy it.

Nikolai · August 1, 2003, 07:17

I did play The Sims before, but now my sister has taken over.

I've played too much for it being of any interest as it is now. When Sims 2 comes out however...!

Adagio · August 1, 2003, 07:34

Yeah, when The Sims 2 will be released, I'll probably get it... from what I've read, it sounds really interesting (Specially the "DNA" feature)

MrBaggins · August 1, 2003, 07:49

Civ3

(but only a couple of times)

MattH · August 1, 2003, 10:09

I don't think Civ III really is something to be embarrassed about... Or is it

.

I pulled down my Hot Date box (that sounds odd...). I can't see what's wrong with it... It added a nice ammount of outdoors stuff.

Ahhhhhh, I used to know all the Sims tricks of good design... Maybe they'll carry over into Sims 2?
