Argh!!- Games & Consoles You Destroyed in Anger

[CRaCKeRJaCK1980]

I suppose the only thing i destroyed was a NES. I through it up in the air and shot it with my 12 gauge. It was broke anywho. But I remember we had gotten are NES, had it about a year. My cousins were over and we were all playing super mario brothers or something. Well, my one cousin is a body mover when she plays games. If she wants to jump, her hands move up, you know the story. Anyways, she was making a big jump and her hands went to so fast and so high she ripped the NES deck right off the tv stand and onto the cement floor, causing the case to shatter. We were so friggin mad at her, I think i even called her F***in bitch or something, I was only 7 .

Did it have Duck Hunt inside?

Argh double post again...sorry!

Not in anger, but I destroyed a few things doing electronic experiments (especially superchargers).
Getting angry makes me feel like a loser, there's been some people who
were completely calm as they faced a firing squad

[Slipdeath]

that reminds me we once blew up a nes with a m80 that was probably the coolest shit i ever saw

No. No. No. Never have I destroyed a game system or controller in anger, or even by accident. My younger brother, on the other hand... hoo boy. I almost killed him when he punched our NES (we were sharing a system and a TV at the time).

Heh. Ahem. Coincidentally, I just massacred a Genesis controller. Here's the story. Had a bare Genesis console (recieved as part of a long-ago trade), with no RF switch, power supply, controller, or games. Sat on it forever, trying to figure out what to do with it. Nearby Gamestop was blowing out all used Genesis stuff, so bought a power supply, RF, controller, and several boxed, complete games. Everything worked - except the controller. No biggie. Returned it today for another one. Came home, plugged it in, and it had a bad start button. Dammit. OK, take THAT one back, get another used one, bring it home, plug it in, and the "A" button is broken!

In a fit of rage over this, i took it outdoors, held it by the cord, and power slammed it into the driveway where it shattered into a bazillion plastic shards. Stupid and petty, yes, but cathartic as hell.

Tomorrow, I'll return to Gamestop and buy another. And I'll have it tested there at the store before I leave. Urgh.

I only once ever had a " Falling Down Incident ". In a fit of rage I threw an Arkanoid Vaus controller into the tv. I smashed the controller, but happily the tv survived.

Extremely upset one time because I could not get either of my new-to-me Atari 5200 systems to work (1 2-port, 1 4-port)...I threw them both to the floorl, and then I threw that devilish non-working switchbox at a heavy plastic trash can.

End result:

1 working 5200 system, 1 5200 system I still can't test because of the...1 still broken switchbox, and 1 broken trash can.

And I felt a lot better

I took a baseball bat to my Mr. Boston cart for Vectrex. Damn that game pissed my off. I kept getting killed in SD Gundam on my VB so I threw in in the street and ran over it with my car. I made it to the 51st level on our I Robot machine and then died. We were so mad we pushed it into the pool. Aaaargh!

Yikes! SD Gundam for VBoy. Been looking for that forever. Now i know where to look. In the street.

Sad as it is to say, I destroyed a Ghouls & Ghosts for the Genesis years ago. Got so pissed off at not being able to get past one of the bosses that I yanked the cart from the console and threw it against the nearest wall. Cart seems ok after, but the game wouldn't play anymore?! Had to buy the game again! First and last time I'll ever do that.

Now don't get me on the subject of computers.... the stories I'd have about destroying some of those....

Most recently I broke a PS2 DualShock on Silent Hill 3 after repeatedly getting hit by a train...I fixed it w/ no major damage, even after chucking it DIRECTLY at the PS2...they're rather resilient IMO, but I like others here, really shouldn't be doing it.

Oh, & I even fixed Fatal Frame! (see link)

The last time my father ever played our Atari 2600 was the night he broke a joystick handle off while playing Video Pinball. It's been probably 20 years and we still don't mention it. My sister and I learned a lot of four letter words when he played that game ...

Personally, I fall under the category of "can't imagine doing that to something I paid money for."

Flack

I don't break my videogame stuff. But one time my hands offended me so I cut them off.

When I was a younger sprout, I was playing Mario Kart on rainbow road. I was winning, and I fell off. In a rage, I picked my snes up, and threw it across the room. It nailed the wall. I picked it up, plugged it back in, and went back to playing.

When I first bought an afterglow by pelican I was playing Hitz 2002. I got angry and smashed it on the table into so many pieces. Everywhere.

[AFGiant]

I never did any of that. I value my games too much
But my little brother once, being new to the ps2 (it had just come out) got himself a copy of Madden 2001 for Christmas. He tried to get the disc out but could not. Without asking for help, he just grabbed an edge and pulled hard, and the disc snapped right in half. I felt bad for him and for that poor disc.

You have no idea how many times I've nearly destroyed my Channel F. Just because it's there.

[skoldpadda]

No, never destroyed any of my stuff. Remind me to recheck this thread before I send out invites to any future gaming parties
