Anyone else suck at playing video games ?

yea I'm below average skill wise...but I love restoring them. Compared to most people here, I am probanly below average at restoring them too! but its fun
 
i suck, but that's cause i play mine infrequently and randomly... as sad as it is, it took me a couple credits to get past level one of dk yesterday, haven't played it in over a month.
 
I love finding, repairing and restoring games, but the truth is, really suck at playing them. there are only a couple games i am decent at. I still love playing them but i wont be setting any records.

I'm only average at most games and only excel at maybe two.

I take pride in knowing everything I can about as many games as I can, making them look nice and inviting and knowing that the friend I have who may exceed in scoring also my suck at carpentry, painting, restoration, electronics, and aesthetics.

And knowing I like to help my friends makes the hobby worthwhile.
 
you know, sometimes excelling is no fun. i mean, if you could get to the split screen in pac, it would get old pretty quick and i'd probably get rid of the game at that time.

I'm with you! At the show in Seattle, I really proved to myself that I enjoy finding, repairing and restoring them, but not playing them... I do also like to see my 2 boys enjoy playing them and seeing how with XBox, XBox360, Wii, GameCube and Gameboys in the house, the arcade still get a fair share of play time...

You need to find a new hobby. Why would you bother if you don't even enjoy playing them? That don't make sense to me. I've loved playing games since I was a kid though.
 
I should add, that ArcRevival got his initials in the #1 spot on my Berzerk machine with just one attempt, so if he sucks at arcade games, then I REALLY suck at arcade games :D
 
I guess I don't have the time to play all my games to be that good at them. I concentrate on one for a while and set a goal, and then I move on. I'm working on 200K for my DK, I'm at 140K so I still have a little way to go. I'm getting good at the 3rd elevators, but it's the stupid crap that keeps getting me. I'll probably move to Galaga next.
 
I suck at pretty much all of the top classics, such as Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Defender, Missile Command, Asteroids, etc. Those games don't really interest me either in terms of gameplay; I just don't find them fun. I would like to own the machines (especially Missile Command and Defender), but I'd probably never play them much.

What was the score?

At the risk of both of us having our official KLOV membership cards revoked, I can not and will not share that information. In other words, MY score was so low that I finally got to see if the "extra man at 5k points" dipswitch worked when Dave played a game. :D
