I can remember taking my Gamecube to the beach once when I was a kid and playing "Spider-man" (2002) on it. The first level to feature The Shocker took place in Grand Central Station, and I would walk around for hours as Spider-man, pretending that it was a mall and that I was hanging out at all the stores with the civilians the mission requires you to rescue. It rained for most of the trip, so I got to know my way around "the mall" pretty well.  What are some of your memories of vacation gaming, Imp Zone?

One year when my family went to Ocean City we found a Sega Genesis in a dresser drawer in one of the bedrooms, I think the previous occupants of the room left it there by mistake or something. So I played Sonic the Hedgehog 2 instead of hanging out on the beach.

I was in Turks and Caicos some years ago and brought my old college gaming laptop because I had a raid schedule to maintain, so the third night we were there I went back to my hotel room early, ordered room service and a bottle of wine and absolutely destroyed Greenscale’s Blight in RIFT with the goon guild

I've been on a proper vacation away from home two times in my life and I didn't have a game system. However, going to Disney World made me wish I was home playing RollerCoaster Tycoon.

Well actually I went camping with my grandma a few times at Kezar Lake and Poland Springs and they had a cabin with the arcade game Tumble Pop in there, which is what I did if I wasn't sitting on a dock trying to mimic the call of the Loon. Which I got really good at until my voice dropped. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTH30m87yL4

I remember sitting in the lobby of a Caesar's Palace with my mom when I was 8 or 9, playing Pokemon Silver and traveling all over the map trying to capture one of the legendary pokemon, Suicune. I never did catch it, and my dad ended up losing $150 at the blackjack table.

I beat the Cthulhu looking boss in Final Fantasy Adventure right as we pulled up to the state fair one year. Weird bit of synchronicity is that years later we went back and I beat the same boss in Sword of Mana just as we were pulling up again

Same but making myself car sick over and over one summer where we went to the beach like every other weekend on that highway between Santa Cruz and San Jose playing pokemon silver. Anyway one of my parents 'friends' that I later realized was clearly just there to buy meth overwrote my save where I was at blue with a great team and I never played it again

In late 2001 my family took a trip to San Diego and I misplaced my Gameboy Color the night before we left so the flash games on the promotional website for Wario Land 4 on my dad’s laptop was my only gaming for that whole week... the site is, sadly, lost to time now. F

My biggest gaming on Vacation memory was playing through the entirety of the awful Kingdom Hearts GBA game on a car trip to Florida. I brought plenty of batteries for that one.

I bought Terminator 2 on the Game Boy using holiday money hoping it would be just like T2: The Arcade Game. Turns out it was a terrible platformer and I had to play Kirby’s Dreamland for the rest of the holiday.

The card battle game? I thought that was sick. I remember when my parents bought me a gameboy pocket for some big drive to canada and my only game was Star Wars: Return of the Jedi and it was way too hard for me. I could get through the first couple platforming levels but then there was some 3D Hoth AT-AT fight section and I was stuck on it eternally

one year I brought my N64 to the beach house that my family rented with a few other families. I was playing Goldeneye with this girl and I did Slappers Only to try to make it more evenly matched. Except I guess the noise and the slight screen shake that happens when you get hit made her absolutely freak out and she ran away and tried to get me in trouble. This was probably 30 seconds after we started the match

When I was a kid I had a next door neighbor whose dad was essentially a vagrant who supposedly had some kind of cool job and visited every few months but he lived on a bed in the back of a van with a bunch of weird radios and a tiny TV which I thought would be the most chillest life to have if he just had a N64 in there or something.
