One of the rotating activities in a summer camp I went to as a kid was hanging out in a computer lab with these pcs that were old even for the time but absolutely loaded with freeware versions of every epic pc game it could possibly run like Raptor and Wolfenstein and Doom and the 2D duke nukems and warcraft and poo poo so there would be like a room full of 2-3rd graders playing doom all day lol The guy who set that up is an absolute legend imo

I went to an after school program for a while at a place that had a room of PCs and all I remember playing was Zoombinis and some Spider-man cartoon maker. They also had an NES with Rad Racer (this was like 1996). Also the Jock Jams albums would be playing constantly there

When I was a kid one computer in middle school had starcraft installed. often times the 8th grade teacher would let us play during free time / recess / after school and we'd have an absolute blast just playing the campaign or random maps, seeing who could win the fastest, etc. absolutely no one in administration of this strict catholic school knew about this until after she retired. to this day I think she's the best instructor I've ever had

Warcraft III on the computers in HS chem lab for me. When I was a kid, some other kid from youth group told me before church that if you put the game genie in with no game attached you can play any NES game in the world and I sat vibrating with excitement through the longest church service of all time before becoming brutally disappointed when I got home. With the internet and such, I wonder if today's kids even have video game urban legends anymore.

We had a social studies teacher in high school that would occasionally let us play sim city 2000 on the school computers. The file share was open to everybody, no private home folders or anything. So we'd open each cities, set off the disasters or drive the bulldozer through the city then save it. One girl was furious the next time she loaded up her city.

My dad had warcraft 2 installed on his PowerBook back in the day and he'd let me play occasionally. I'd go into his den and steal cigars when he was away lol

i'd play gameboy in the back of the car at night, but it was dark so i'd play a bit when the car passed a street light, then pause while it was dark, play again at the next light, pause and so on

I used to take shits normally in like 5 mins max until my mum started buying official me PlayStation mags. Then I would spend upwards of 45 mins reading epic early 2000s articles about the hottest babes in gaming while literally “dropping a deuce” ie letting a poo poo slide out of my rear end with only the force of gravity for assistance. Can’t do it any other way now.

I just remembered this as I was going to sleep. When I was in fifth grade my sister's highschool had a school fair and this group of guys had set up an "arcade" that was just an xbox connected to a projector that was blatantly just their way of getting to play Halo all night at this mandatory school thing. After I paid my dollar entry they handed me the fourth controller and proceeded to clown on me for the next half hour before telling me my time was up and sending me away.

When I was in college two girls built a yurt out of animal skins they found as roadkill for their senior art project. One of them had a baby with an art professor like a year after she graduated.

I won the whole thing which introduced some confounding variables because lord help me but I was a smug and smirky winner. but it was more about the study design + playing goldeneye on the big rear end projector in the lecture hall than the results anyway

The teacher had to get involved and looked at the computer history, thinking I was downloading porn. Meyers-Briggs Testicle posted:My brother was playing some n64 game that was an arcade port, I think gauntlet legends or sf rush or something, and it had a vestigial 'insert coins' on screen. He was 3 or 4 and ran to my moms purse and grabbed a handful of change and inserted them into the n64 air ducts. He kept doing this for days, and even started putting in folded up dollar bills until it stopped working and we had to mail it to nintendo. They even mailed the money back lol

P-Mack posted:playing a ton of Metroid but always starting from the beginning because I could never write down the 32 character case sensitive password without a mistake I tried to write down a password for Megaman X once but I got it in my head that the mets popping up in each grid square were important so i wrote it down in the order that mets popped up and it was completely useless. Kongming posted:Awesome. Reminds me of the story bug deal told about an old man beating his rear end at Street Fighter silently and walking away. i was in this tiny arcade that existed in san francisco for probably 5 months total and everything i cared about was occupied. the ST machine had this super old dude on the 1p side, just silently beating the computer. i shyly asked if i could join and i don't think he responded in any way at all. i joined and he completely destroyed my rear end for like 8 straight games of me trying different characters, never looking away from the screen or making any sounds. i awkwardly just walked away and let him get back to beating the cpu. i don't remember who he played, probably ryu.
