Classic Video Games / Re: How long do you devote to gaming each day, each week?

Probably somewhere in the 7 hours/week range. Being married with kids does a good job at restricting my playtime.

General / Re: Playing games chronologically

For the first time through the series, I enjoy playing it chronologically by release, because I find it tougher to go back and enjoy and playing earlier titles that aren't as polished gameplay-wise. After completing the series, if it was good enough, I'll go back and play it again in order of in-game timeline.

As for Star Wars, Episode 4 always comes first.

Classic Video Games / Re: What game have you put the most time into?

I probably have a insane amount of hours put into Shining Force 2 and Gran Turismo 3. SF 2 was my go to game as a kid and GT3 as I got closer to adulthood. I still play them once in a while, just nowhere close to as much as I used to.

Then there's WoW. I don't like to talk about WoW.

Classic Video Games / Re: What was your first horror game and did it scare you?

The first *real* horror game I partook in was Fatal Frame 2. It scared the living bejesus out of me, for sure. About 5 of us were crammed into a friend's bedroom in college watching him play. He had his camera up and was slowly turning around and all of a sudden a ghost popped into the frame. One person ran out of the room, I leapt back into a wall, and pretty much everyone screamed like little girls. It was amazing.
