Must admit that was my first serious attempt to play one of those games I was not very good but I could see how they would be very addictive.

Its true these kind of games can be addictive.
I spent a good few months beleiving i was Lara Croft , any spare time i had ,i was playing Tomb Raider.. it was my daughters game , but she didnt get many chances to play on it.. I was even dreaming about getting chased by packs of wolves,and climbing into secret caves.. it realy did have me addicted.

I can relate anna , I was stuck on my sons Nintendo 64 game of Perfect Dark years ago.

I WAS Joanna Dark for a while.

I had a months holidays from work and a good part of it was spent on that game while he was at school.

But I enjoyed every second. I'd be up town and an idea how to get through a level would suddenly pop into my head so I'd go home and try it out.
At the moment we're challenging each other to Mariokart DoubleDash on the Nintendo Gamecube.
He kicked my butt last night. But I'll get him

.
If I didn't have so much to do right now, I'd practise all day.

Heheheheh.

Its not those four footed wolves you have to worry about Miss Lara Anna Croft. Its those rude two time scheming two legged males who are only after what ever they can get.

Yes I admit that I am one of those males. But my mother bought me up different she taught me good manners so I always ask and say please when I ask miss Lara Anna Croft and other se xy heroines for their autographs.

Does anyone remember the pinball machines---great fun.

jimmywizz · Post by **jimmywizz** » Mon May 07, 2007 3:02 pm

brian c you are talking to the original pinball wizzard here

Axeman · Post by **Axeman** » Mon May 07, 2007 3:03 pm

I must say though, not very good value for money now.

Most of these arcade games are a quid a shot !

And like Marra says, you on two minutes and it's game over...but now it has the tempting message:-

If you want to continue, please insert another coin....10...9....8....7....6.....5....

On the subject of games, I ( hopefully ) will be involved in a brand new venture that will be hitting the web, big style, sometime in the back quarter of this year.

Watch this space !

If anyone watched Something For The Weekend yesterday, one of the gadgets they had on was an original arcade machine with 10 or more games pre-installed at a pricetag of.......

£2500
