We play games because it's fun, right?

There's no other reason to do it.

that would be torture

making them play a PS2

are you mad

at least you could let them play on a dreamcast

at the very least

I would drag them by the hair, plonk them down on a seat and lock them up for 2 weeks with nothing apart from a PS2, TV, joypad and a couple of games.

I will leave a copy of Timesplitters behind too, so they can witness just how rapid and fast the M16 is!

i would introduce a new gamer to simple games on the gameboy (like Tetris) and then i would build them up to the top N64 games like super Mario 64 and to Perfect dark

And to finish the topic like I intended, ie, before I pressed post this message for no apparent reason, I'll continue...


...If someone that had never before played any console or computer game, what games, and on which platform would you use to introduce them to this world?

I might start with Tetris, but what else would you play?
