What is your "happy" game?

Post by Falco Girgis »

Are there any games that just cheer you up? Have you ever just played a game and all stress and anger has been released? Well here are games that cheer me up:

1) NiGHTs into Dreams:
Let's not kid ourselves, I'm sure you guys have never heard of it. Well this is a SUPER respectable title released for Sega Saturn about the time that Mario 64 was introduced to the N64 scene. It is lushly colored and you are a "good spirit" flying around gathering ideya. The music is so relaxing and the game mechanics themselves just provide pure enjoyment.

2) Yoshi's Island:
No, not that gay poser excuse of a Yoshi game: "Yoshi's Story" for N64. I oughtta kick your ass for even thinking I'd like that game. :D I'm talking about Super Mario World 2 for the SNES and later released for the GBA. That game is so calm and content. Everything is peaceful. Even suns, flowers, and baddies smile. The diverse worlds and environments are all so pleasingly colorful and it is just a really enjoyable game. I feel especially content after playing.

I also played NIGHTS INTO DREAMS while my uncle when i was 6. I was confused and got mad of the game.

My Great Happy Game would be Ages of Empires II.

I've played Nights at Super Sonics's house. It was fun but hard to figure out... and then I died.

Well, my happy game is a little game that I like to call "Samba"

"Samba De Amigo"

I'm sure Super Sonic would agree this game kicks ass.
Wait wait wait....dotdotdot

I also like Samba De Amigo Ver. 2000.

What about Quake, Shenmue, Tony Hawk?????///forwardsslashforwardsslash.

Well yes I do like to run around buy capsules kill people and skate and battle. ect. but... They don't have the bright colors and music of Samba.

That is what makes Samba my HAPPY game

Quake 3 Arena
I mean how can you not have fun blowing the hell out of some PENIS
that just tried to take a shot at you, but he missed, then when he turns
around, he doesn't even have time to think "OOOOOHHHHH CRAP"
You should know me and the fact that Quake 3 Arena is my happy game, even if it does cause stress and anger!!!!!!!

Heh, I bet you know my happy game. Yup, Metroid Prime of course.

When ever I'm stressed beyond belief, I just load up the game and go exploring places like the ruined space station crash site, which is the space station you start out at except after it plowed into the planet. Its koo because its half underwater, growing with all sorts of fungi and such. And most of the ship is turned to its side, which makes for super koo atmosphere. Nice music also. Plus its HUGE so you can spend a good while there.

There's a lot of other cool places like the laboratories in the snow place but I'm not going to name them all.

Ken Griffey Jr.'s Major League Baseball: Yes, a sports game. I hate sports games, yet this one is so amazingly addictive that I play it almost everyday. Plus, a rapping Ken Griffey on the Press Start screen! What could be better than that?

I played Donkey Konga at the mall. I don't know, I think I kicked ass. Probably because I was born wielding maraccas and dancing to spanish music.

People like gathered around when I was in Software Etc. It was like those huge circles of DDRers. I really kicked that game's ass!
