13 Games I have Managed to Play Obsessively (Thursday Thirteen #7)



Thirteen Games I Have Managed to Play to Extreme
Okay, so I happen to have an obsessive personality. I wish I didn't, but it is just something that I have had to accept.
One of those things I can get obsessive about is playing games. Makes me crazy! So, I generally try to avoid them, as to not get addicted. But, here are 13 games that have grabbed ahold of me throughout my life, including some when I was younger than some of my kids and was sitting with bugged out eyes in front of the TV that was built into the big cabinet using an Atari with the joystick.
This list was inspired by my 40 minutes of playing my newest game obsession.



1. Pac Man

2. Frogger

3. Tetris

4. Super Mario Brothers (the original)

5. Shrunken Heads (online -- from smashingames.com)

6. Mine Sweeper

7. Hearts (on the computer)

8. Mario Kart Double Dash

9. Home Before Dark (on Webkinz)

10. Cash Cow (on Webkinz)

11. Cash Cow 2 (on Webkinz)

12. Hyperbowl Plus! Edition

And the latest obsession....

13. Dance Dance Revolution Hottest Party (for the Wii)

OH, Tetris! I always tell myself that I will just play one more game and that will be it, but it never works out like that

I get obsessed with Tetris too. It was always more interesting than class when it was on my calculator...and my cell phone. I just irks me when I can't fit them perfectly!

This is an awesome TT! I was obsessed with so many of these games, too!

Tetris is a hoot!! But, my newest fave is your #13. My sister went out and bought it for herself and I'm always calling her to bring it over! I may have to break down and get it myself.

Happy TT!

I have totally avoided the webkins as I know how addicted I can get to videogames as well. Just ask Stephanie - she got me hooked on pogo! Let me know if you want a guest pass! ;) Oh, and isn't DDR a hoot! We have the Mario versiononly so far and I keep hinting to Ian that he should get the new one for the Wii!

Tetris! I was a Tetris-addict during my 1st pregnancy. lol
I played it on my dh's palm pilot so much, I killed the palm pilot. :(
I still miss it.

That game is awesome.
Have you seen the Tetris-Rubiks cube? (The one I saw was at Learning Express)

I was hooked on Tetris a long time!
We all should allocate time in our day to just play games :)
