What is the oldest game you can play 1+ hours straight without interruption? While enjoying it of course.
Pong. What the fuck kind of question is that?

>>12006054Oblivion
>>12006054Galaga (1981)
>>12006054any infocom adventure
>>12006054Probably Chrono Trigger
>>12006054i dont play games from before the 3rd gen, so i guess metroid or super mario bros for the NES?Might be some PC games that are older though but i never remember how old those games are relative to the NES
>>12006054Galaga.I would say Pac-Man, but trying to achieve a higher score than my best in it has taught me I actually fucking hate Pac-Man because ai will spend 3 gours grinding on it and 2 of those hours will be spent resetting on failed attempts where I lose a life on round 1 or 2.
>>12006054I played Battlezone on the Atari 2600 for 2 hours once. I didn't even know 2 hours passed I was having that much fun.>>12006067fpbp
>>12006067>What the fuck kind of question is that?OP here. I have seen a ton of retards on /vr/ posting "2nd generation games can only be played at 10 to 15 minutes at a time". So I wondered what non retards thought.
>>12006054>PongDo you seriously sit down and play Pong for hours?
>>12006479If I had nothing better to do, sure.
>>120060545th gen stuff. Earlier games are like tech demos without a fully realized gamefeel. They lack a gameplay loop that keeps you playing longer.
>>12006421How about you play some yourself and answer your own retarded subjective question for yourself, we don't know what you like
>>12006054Probably Tetris. I tend to play the NES version, but the gameplay is the same as always, and occasionally I will just sink a whole hour into it.Tetris is a good example of perfected simplicity, an extremely pure videogame.>>12006421Give us some examples then, what are some 2nd generation games which you feel that you can easily play over an hour?
>>12006054E.T., while listening to Minneapolis synthpunk duo E.T.
Asteroids probably? I've put dozens of hours into it when there was an arcade in my hometown.
>>12006054Frostbite
>>12006054Super Mario bros on nes. Don’t think there are any older games I enjoy unless you count the old ultima trilogy dos ports based on early 80s releases.
>>12006054It must've taken you all your willpower to write that sentence without stopping to check tiktok.
>>12006836You enjoy Pong so much you would play it if you had nothing better to do
>>12006054Aerobiz supersonic. Trying to make an Oceania route work is tough, but addicting.
>>12006054Marble Madness is arcade GOAT tier.
>>12006054The Oregon Trail
>>12006054Pac-Man
>>12008996This, also Centipede or Space Invaders
>>12006054That depends very much on what your personal definition of "interruption". If you imagine that the game ending and restarting a new one isn't an interruption then all kinds of old games can be played for 1+ hours. And if you have such a vivid imagination you'd probably be entertained by counting your fingers and toes, so even the most mundane of video games would be thrilling.>>12006067That's amazing. Who do you play with that's so equally god like that a single game lasts over an hour.
>>12006067If you can play a game like pong for an hour straight you have nothing going on in your head.
>>12006054
Enduro on the 2600
>>12006054Mario 64, though I don't play shit older than n64 much
>>12006054Pengo, i'm kinda autistic i know,,,,but i don't usually play it so when i do i waste a few hours
Like, any classic arcade game? Space Invaders or Pacman or whatever
>>12006054Joust (1982)
Dragon Warrior I. Honestly a lot of the Dragon Quest games are good for this, but I always appreciated the first one specifically for how simple it is. It's been a nice comfort game to turn my brain off for a few hours and grind.
>>12006054Castlevania symphony of the night. Sonic 3 and knuckles, Saga Frontier
>>12009158I can easily see putting an hour in Pong with a friend.
Zorkman a text adventure built for a modern level of command parsing would be awesome
Battletoads
>>12009978How do you mean? AI stuff?
>>12006054NES Tetris
>>12009978>tryhard underage cringeman a child built for an ancient level of not being a weirdo parsing would be awesome
>>12006054minecraft
>>12010194You sir, are an epic troll :)
>>12006054Not retro, but Cyberpunk 2077
>>12009978Zork's parser was the first and crudest of infocom's parsers, though it was still far beyond the average text adventure of the day. Infocom improved their parser steadily over the years, and non-commercial IF games kept that quality in the 90s on out. Try some more recent stuff, they're pretty good.
