Forums - Gaming - Favorite game to play while sick

T_T  I wasn't allowed to play video games, or do anything fun when I was at home "sick" from school. I could only watch discovery channel... or anything else that was educational XD. 

Though, when both parents were out I would turn on Animal Crossing for a bit. :D I had an urge to know if I had any mail... or if there was anything new on the bulletin board.

Yeah, something turn based was great because the game played at your pace. Actually, playing any DS/3DS game is great because when you're feeling tired or nauteous, just shut it and put it into sleep mode. When you're feeling up to the task, just pop it open and you're right where you left off.

I don't know where I'd be without Sleep Mode.



Well, usually I don't play video games when I'm sick.  I'm not in the mood to play when this happens.  However, I guess if I could pick a game I would play it would be Animal Crossing: City Folks.  It's very laid back and relaxing and I don't have to worry about getting upset at it when I play it :).

Yeah, sleep mode saved my ass during marathon DQIX sessions last year. The only problem is everyonce and a while, I get so used to just sleep moding when i'm tired of playing, I forget to actually save for HOURS on end, obviously risking losing all that work, and probably my mind if battery dies or I accidently hit the power button (which I have done).



LISTEN TO THE FIRST WORLD PODCAST REAL GAMERS, REAL AWESOME

This is why I like playing turn-based games or point-and-click adventure games on handhelds. I can just game lazily on my bed. Perfect for when you're sick.

“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

- George Orwell, ‘1984’

When I was very young I played the Spyro and Crash games, it made me feel significantly better.
