    Did you play the first one? I have some strange memories of that game.
    Did you ever finish a game? We always played the objective version or whatever it was because a normal game took way too long.

    ?

    Usually, I played mainly cards with my cousins, i disliked social games or popular game.. The exception was ping pong, in junior school we had where to play so, maybe, because of that. Later.. I've discovered pc games so.. My most played game was Counter Strike- shooting game and .. Some online games.

    It was a joke. The first one is still better though... :p
    Don't even let me start. I played too much. Way too much. I played at bit of 1.4, but 1.5 onwards, too much.

    If I talk about childhood games, it would be stuff like tag, cops and robbers, hide and seek and stuff. Playing make-believe is also one as well as rope jumping. There was also a game where we played table tennis with a basket ball and hands, going round and round the stone table, until only one was left.

    Risk always ends up as someone who controls NA vs someone else. I like it but I think some of it is reasonably flat which is why I like the 'objective' versions because it's more of a struggle and the war of attrition isn't anywhere near as bad. Axis and Allies isn't bad but it also has its issues. They're both fun games though.

    Tabletop Games: Monopoly.
    Electronic Games: Dragon Quest series (SNES&PS), Final Fantasy Series (PS), Breath of Fire series, Chrono Chross, Chrono Trigger, Valkyrie Profile, Grandia, mainly RPGs... My English proficiency mainly comes from playing RPGs (since English classes on elementary school is really basic)... Weird huh?

    Eh... I already didn't have problems learning english. But Diablo and Heroes 2 made me improve even more, especially with vocabulary. Later when I started to read translated mangas and watch subbed animes in english I got better!!

    Well... English in elementary school is just a bunches of memorizing nouns and verbs... Somehow before I turned 10 I could understand English (written form that is)... A child language learning ability is really frightening...

    Welp, I don't even remember what it called. I played it with those giant old floppy disks and it was a guy in some white clothing, like Greek or Roman ones, and I just navigate him to jump across different floors in a castle. Let's just say that's all I did as I failed at doing that too. I had no clue what I was doing. Then I also played some of those Hasbro or Disney games on pc, like Hercules or Aladdin. Parent said ps1 has more violent oriented games so n64 it was. Had Harvest Moon, Ocarina of Time, Golden Eye, Diddy Kong, Mario and Pokemon Stadium. Yup, that's all. Do let me tell that I actually never finished any of them as I was pretty stupid. I had to go back a few years later and realized I never really did anything in those games but run around in the beginning and failing.

    As for non-electronic ones, monopoly is classic. Then you have your deck of cards with matching goldfish and sum to ten goldfish, crazy 8 and also big2. Also played backgammon, Chinese checkers, Chinese chess, and reversi. Last but not least, pictionary! But I was only tagging along when the older kids played.

    As for online games, I played a 2D game called Dark Ages. It's an mmorpg. I think it's still running but the game is more or less dead. I learned how to type in that game and also role play with those not-so-modern English.

    Collectibles, I did some Dragon Ball, Z, GT, Pokemon, where one of my so call better friends ripped me off, Digimon, where I lost a bunch of cards and gave up, and Yugioh, where I actually played them instead of just collecting.
