Just one more go!

[zak]

I often find myself sifting through my PCB shelf trying to decide what I should play in the evening.
Being spoilt for choice and having a larger selection than I used to, it has become harder and harder to choose what to play in the limited time I have these days.

Arcade games in general have been my go to games over the last few years. I haven't purchased a next gen game since October last year (Mario Odyssey).
The length of (most) arcade games suits me perfectly at the moment.

Given the predicament I face above, I will often turn on all my cabs and play each game for a short period of time and move on to the next.
However....there is always that time sink bast*rd of a game with the "JUST ONE MORE GO" factor. 20 minutes turn into 3 hour marathon sessions of playing the same game OVER AND OVER again.

I am now addicted to Mr Driller G. I turned it on at 11pm last night and went to bed at 2am.
I went to work groggy as heck. I was functioning on auto pilot, but made it through the day (thinking of Susumu-san, coloured blocks and oxygen capsules).

What is your current coin guzzling crack folks?

I'm playing strider atm and I still can't get enough of ST on fightcade.

Play both most nights atm and like you I don't really play modern games now, my last was mario odyssey too (which was pure gold btw)

Time Pilot is like a drug to me, especially playing it for score.

I'd like to visit Strider (and Cannon Dancer) again.

I have a friend who is obsessed with Time Pilot!

Expecting more people in the JAMMA crack den

Ibara and bombjack are my crack every game gets the usual extra go but these drive me mad , its usually happens as i sit down to play 2-3 credits ,get a good* score and next credit fail terribly and so it spirals , its all down hill from there and as we know you cant walk away satisfied with doing worse or not even equalling that 1st /2 credit !

*good* is **** in general and nothing to actually brag about in my case

I will always plateau at some level and can't progress further, wich leads to a endless cycle of "on more time" without getting better at a game. Happens with every game I play. Last time it was the Wario stage in 6 golden coins that took me hours without progress. A day later i managed to clear it.

What i want to say is like gestrig when the first run sucks it hardly gets better and i should change the game.

Street Fighter 2 for me (all versions). I never get tired of those games.

Right now Im starting up Ibara every night telling myself "only a few minutes to try that new scoring tactic out" ....3 hours later....
