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?
Just one more go!

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

Re: Just one more go!
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

Re: Just one more go!
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.
