Socoder -> Question of the Day -> QOTD : Losing your sense of Play...

Yesterday, having received a nice freebie copy of Sonic on Xbox Live, I stepped back into Green Hill for the first time in ages, and swiftly died about 7 or 8 times..
Bugger..

And then I finally got into Marble Hill, where I died another 7 or 8 times, and then gave up for the day.


It seems I suck at Sonic 1, now..

QOTD : What games do you now suck at, which you once were able to complete each time you played it?

(And I missed the Special Stage ring every f'ing time...!)

Counter Strike, but if we're talking about classics, I'd have to say Pac Man and Galaga are the hardest to come back to.

I used to be pretty insane at it, so was my brother. But now it only inspires rage from me...

The Mega Man series! Early ones like 1-8. I have 1 and 2 on my WII and I suck at them now. Zanac (NES, WII). When I first played Zanac I had the NES Advance, the big square controller. It had rapid fire controls and a slow mo button. The slow mo button just paused and unpaused the game as fast as the system could respond. And I used the slow mo to dodge all the millions and millions of EVERYTHING comming at ya.

Me too! Hah! The pause-unpause slow-mo was hilarious. Those things were so cheap.

Wow!
I thought Max Payne was the first game to use pause-unpause slow-mo! :o

That was the only way I could play Zanac. It was so slow at the slow-mo tho. Hehe!! It would pause and then it wouldnt un pause until the ding-a-ling sound would stop playing. Tho that was probably the nintendos fault on its part!

I tried playing one of the MegaMan series a while back, I sucked at it. I don't know how I ever managed to get very far through the game.

I remember some nights my older brother and our cousin would stay up all night playing that game. Those were the days...
