A terrible tournament rule

[The Baron]

With modern games I would have to say Knights of the Old Republic I & II for XBOX is the most addictive for me. I lost 50 odd hours per file! Played each of them light and dark side at least twice each so that's about 400 hours.

For out and out hour count though you simply cannot beat Championship Manager.

Does anyone remember Cannon Fodder?  That was a great game!! So many hours, But the best game ever honour has to go to Final Fantasy 7, By far and away the best game ever, I racked up 70 hours on that game before I fully completed it.

The Final Fantasy games are pretty out of this world.

I think I only ever found time to finish one, and it took me 50 or so hours.

Is number 7 the one with the Chocoba (correct spelling?) racing? If so, than that's the one I managed to crack. Incredible game.

Thats the one snoops, I think they were chocobos??  What a great game, Do you remember the bad guy sephiroth, His move was tough to beat, although once you had the omnislah he was a piece of cake.

Ok I just re read this and yes I am a geek.

Was he the guy at the end.

If he was, boy he was tough. Everytime I fought him it took 20 minutes a bout cos my moves took so long to complete.

One move must have lasted 5 minutes. I think it was called 'Galaxies' or something and it involved all the planets.

You kinda keep at it tho when you've been playing 50 hours. Wasn't too keen on giving up at the last hurdle.

It was called the supernova I'm sure, and it took ages to get through it, The video scened were great.

To answer tanks question the ruby weapon was a piece of cake.

Agreed, all my school life i played that nearly evreyday. Only Diablo ever interupted CM!

Are we talking about the same boss?

The two Weapons in FF7 were optional. You didn't need to kill them to complete the game, but they were to prove your geekiness.

You needed the Golden Chocobo (which took ages) to get the "Knights of The Round" summon materia and everyone needed a ribbon (which took ages aswell, I think one was a prize at the Golden Saucer)

The first one was underwater, a big brute who had over 1,000,000 HP. The second was in the desert and was even tougher.


The "final" Sephiroth battle was a cake walk in comparisom.

Aye, same boss, The best way to defeat him was to kill off two members of your team straight away so they stay on the field, then you would revive them after the boss created a portal to remove them from play. That gave you the 3 peeps to attack him. Like I said Piece of cake.

If that was a piece of cake, how can you have found the Sephiroth battle tough? I thought it was a complete non-event.

Like the end of the first Tomb Raider, when the evil chicky comes back, seemingly from the dead, with her machine guns a-blazing saying "You won't kill me off that easy Lara"

I should bloody hope not, I've still got 12 Medi-packs left. Bring it sister.

The sephiroth battle is only easy if you have the omnislash ( i think that was it)  if you dont use that move you have a tough time beating him.

It's been a while since I played silly games.

It's been limit holdem over limit breaks for years now.

[BlueWolf]

OMG i dont feel so bad now for being a geek, especially after spending the weekend watchin thundercats lol

FFVII rocked although i gave up when i came up against "lost number" or whatever he was in the house just couldnt beat him.

Sensi soccer was awesome too, and in about a month we get all new sensi soccer to celebrate 20 odd years of the game, will be available on all major formats.

Oh and CM was great but now its FM all the way baby

[thetank]

It seems we are, or were, all big geeks. Who'd have thunk it?

I guess internet forum users are a disproportional cross section of society though, there might be some regular folks in the world still.
