What is the deal with computer games? I mean, I used to trip off of them when I was a kid, and they sometimes a pleasant diversion and all that... but some people are just plain obsessed with these things... |

I've no idea.... I was deprived of many a computer game in my childhood. I only had my amstrad (good enough mind you!) I think my intrest in them grew from wanting to play them around my friends houses. Now I'm just catching up on lost time! he he |

Taxi: so you have a life? Good for you, dude, but for the rest of us, computer games are the closest thing there is. |

They're interactive art. Watching TV is a passive activity, you have no control over what's happening. Reading a book or listening to music you have slightly more control than tv as there is more space for imagination. Playing a video game you have a great more deal of control (and hence involvement) in what is happening than the other examples here... I think people also like it as it is a very good form of escapism. |

No... I kind of just sit and stare at my computer and write music. |

I've been playing since I was 8 or 9... Spectrum 48k + then moved onto consoles... I dunno though, the technology needs a good kick in the ass at the moment, there's hardly any difference really between the current systems (GC, PS2) and the ones they replaced |

Yeah, making music there's even more decisions/freedom than playing games. It's harder though ;) |

I write music as a hobby but I also play games as a hobby. I get a differnet feeling from each. I write music as I enjoy cerating the inticacies of a piece and making subtleties that can only be noticed by someone else after a few listens. This takes time obviously nd I can get quite annoyed if something isn't working right. Games on the other hand however relax me. You just go through them hardly any thought needed 90% of the time. You are right in saying people are obsessed though. Some kid at my old school missed an A-level exam because he was too busy with his PS. Sad cuntymint in my opinion. That's just my feelings on the subject and the no doubt make no sense or bear any relevance.. |

Computer games are great! Excellent time killer/waster (depending on your point of view!!) :) |

I think they were better in the Super Nintendo/Genesis era... I have more fun playing those games on emulators than I do playing PS2... Actually, Game Boy Advance is a portable Super NES, kind of... and I enjoy it more than PS2. I'm an old school, 2D gamer at heart! |
