What are the best games to play while DRUNK?

[RCM]

I am in the process of writing an article for a magazine and the topic is "what are the best games to play while intoxicated?" I was wondering if people could share some stories and suggestions on this very important (sense the slight sarcasm) topic. Thanks to all! I have to go and start drinking!

Burnout 2 (GC/XB/PS2): Crash Mode

i think that's all the explanation needed really...

[rbudrick]

Hmmm, intoxicated, or drunk...certain drugs are better for certain games.

Earthbound, Rez, N20, and the Castlevanias come to mind...

I have not drank much in my life. 2 times actually. the one time I tryed playing Madden and it was a bad site. That is definatly not a good game. I kept quitting angrily.

It's gotta be Samba

[rbudrick]

Actually, my friends and I play Twister a lot when we are drunk...oh...wait...you meant video games.

DDR and Karaoke Revolution.

[Querjek]

Well, I've never drank, but I'd imagine that (especially the beginning of) Kingdom Hearts would be fun. And maybe Rez Never played, but the concept would work), and Super Monkey Ball 2.

I DON'T KNOW

[Neil Koch]

GTA3/VC
True Crime (Dogg Patrol mode)
Sports games
Old school stuff

Most anything except RPGs, really.

[Sylentwulf]

ANY Music-Related game.

Tapper... while getting intoxicated

Thanks to everyone who has contributed so far. The crash mode in Burnout 2 is going to be a blast. I was thinking that the eyetoy along with its mingames would be cool to play while the piss colored poison is running through my veins. I was also thinking about emulation discs just for the fact that you have a whole bunch of games that you can get to without getting up. That is key. Thanks to all and keep suggestions coming, esp. ones that have yet to be listed!

I can't imagine playing a RPG when trashed....too slow-paced and tedious for me. Gotta be something fast and simple. Some of my drunken favs:

Rocky
Top Spin
Jet Moto 2
Crazy Taxi
Midtown Madness 3
Hydro Thunder
Super Monkey Ball 2 mini games (bowling & monkey target are top)
Aero Wings 2
Kelly Slaters Pro Surfer
any kind of retro comp (Midway Arcade Treasures, Activision Anthology, etc)
anything on Virtual Boy

[Sylentwulf]

Yeah Super Monkey Ball, and any grand theft auto game is GREAT while drunk (C'mon, what drunk doesn't want to go around with a weapon cheat and snipe passer-by's?)

Boy, I bet I just put MYSELF on a government list.

The first time I played Mortal Kombat, it was in the summer of 1995, on the SNES. I was 19 then and got drunk on sambucca (don't worry, legal drinking age in Quebec is 18). It was at a friend's 20th birthday and the guys were playing MK2, and I decided to give it a try. Thanks to the sambucca (and to some clever button-smashing), I managed to kick some butt.

*sigh* Those were the times! Hard to believe that it was 8 1/2 years ago! It feels like yesterday... and yet a lifetime ago, as it happened a couple of weeks before the end of my no-boyfriend draught (soon after I met Jay, then Craig, then Steve... with whom I'm still with).

More recently, I've played DDR in an arcade while drunk, in-between karaoke songs (the karaoke bar where I used to hand out has a separate arcade section with a practical inside door within the bar). I'm not sure if I find it easier to play DDR with or without alcohol in my body, as I'm far from the person with the best coordination... Fear not, as I did not injure myself either way. Unfortunately, the DDR machine is gone from that arcade, so no more drunken bouts of DDR, at least not in that arcade.

Play Virtual Boy while hungover and let us know if your head explodes.

[Mr Mort]

Some of the best ones would be DDR (only with dance pad, mind you), Karaoke Songs, EyeToy games. It's so amazingly easily to embarrass yourself when you're sober, you're sure to laugh at someone who's drunk while playing those games.

Some other good ones are: Tetris, Multi-player bomberman, and my friend and I once went bezerk while playing Radiant Silvergun while under the influence.

[Chunky]

Samba De Amigo!!!!

or anything with multiple players. we have been doing rounds of mariocartDD. but yeah Rez and Frequency are great.
