"Hardcore" gaming

You left off the category which I believe is the definition of hardcore gaming. Buying games and finding out they suck but you have to beat it. You spent your money on these games and they are way to difficult, the controls suck, and death awaits around every corner but you have the urge to conquer it. Sadly, after the SNES era games started getting way to easy and anyone can beat them and you can look at reviews to see if a game is terrible and can avoid those games. In the NES era and before it was a total guessing game. Also, hardcore gamers gathered at recess to discuss what they were playing and other kids thought you were dorks. I remember discussing with a friend what the skunk tail(I think that's what is was, you would try to through it out and the characters said it smelled but you may need it) in Final Fantasy 1 was for and a kid reminded me that only losers play games.

I wish I could relive the memories of those days but my house burned down in 97. I had about 15 games for the atari 2600 and 7800 and 61 games for the NES. Also had about 20 games for the SNES.

I still beat any game I buy no matter how much I hate it.

yea, that would be an interresting gamer type to have on the list.

  However, some of the different gamers on the list I don't consider "hardcore" at all (if such a silly cathergorization of gamers should be allowed to excist). I just made it to check which one of those gamer types would be considered the most "hardcore" by the VGchartz community.
