Just been playing Conflict Desert Storm, completed the level that i've been attempting all day and decided not to carry on because it's mentally knackering. It's so fecking intense and on edge I just had to stop for a breather.
It's gotta be one of my fav shooter ever, I just spent about 15 minutes with my squad sitting on a large rock with a Tank encircling us, every time anyone popped up for air they got a face full of tank gun. To make matters worse there was a continuous assault from a nearby Iraqi camp and I was completly out of Anti tank missiles after going a bit nuts and wasting them on a load of scud launchers.
This went on for about 10 minutes until I realised I had some anti tank mines on the bomb expert bloke, so as the tank encircled me I got my guy to run down and slap one of these babies in the Tanks path, didn't realise they actually take a little time to lay and the next thing I new, the tank was back and my bloke got a crap load of bullets in the face. To make the punishment even worse the tank proceeded to run him over and then detonate the tank mine. Ouch that gotta hurt, at least he went down on a hero, I mean a hero.
Anyway the real reason for the topic was not to tell you my war stories from Conflict Desert Storm (I could go on all day but you'd just get bored and end up telling me to fook off), I was just wondering if anyone else occasionally feels mentally exhausted by certain games and you find yourself having turn them off and have a break?
I never had this kinda thing when playing games on my N64.
Anyway ummm get Conflict Desert Storm, it's damn good.

I actually do feel mentally exhausted by Conflict Desert Storm also.
I take breaks after each level, go for a walk, get a drink of water, etc.
Scary.
Fudging brilliant though.

I got like that with Rocket Robot on Wheels. A damn fine game that should've sold more, if you ever see it get it, its a classic! Yes I played it for so long my eyes were nearly hanging out of their little sockets!
Only with Stratagy games and there weren't many on the N64.
I think I will rent this game tomorrow... it actually sounds REALLY cool.

Tetris and Advance Wars spring to mind. I've just had to stop playing Shenmue because the control system was annoying me - does that count?

My local independant retailer still sells N64 games for £10 each... I'll take a look tomorrow.

My local independent games retailer just disappeared! One day I was in the shop the following day it had closed down! Great! Now we've only got GAME and how I hate that store, biased to PS2 or what?
