Spud Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 What game just killed your hands you played so hard on. My votes: Pele's Soccer and the 1500 meter in Decathalon. I'll never know how the joystick didn't break right off, I pushed that controller so hard trying to run faster in Pele's Soccer. I believe I did ruin a joystick on Decathalon.

D.Yancey Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 Just about any gave that gives you no opportunity for a rest break. Keystone Kapers, Crackpots, Pressure Cooker, Laser Blast and Enduro come to mind. Some games make me so mad when I lose a life that I can never use the rest break then. I start back playing right away even if my hands are hurting. River Raid and Kaboom are two of that type! Luckily Pitfall! is not a very long game because it hurts my hands from holding so forcefully in one direction for long periods. I try to lessen the force, but I don't want to lose one second by pausing momentarily and throwing off all the timing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Zumwalt Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 Fire Fox... played it start to finish in just under 14 hours... ouch then Asteroids, rolling it... after that, I made my own auto-fire joystick with thumb switch for normal or repeat mode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Morbis Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 I'm currently on a quest to 'earn' every VCS Activision patch, and back in February I did the Million point Laser Blast one. It took me around 5 hours of mind-numbingly repetitive play with no breaks of more than 5 seconds. After it was finally done, I vowed to never play that game again. I also didn't touch a CX40 for 10 days because my hands were hurting so bad. And the worst part is, due to my crappy digital cam, I have a horrendous pic of the craptacular achievement (those white lines in the top left are supposed to be exclamation points): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
