Best Games to Play for 5 Minutes?

[A Sprite]

You're waiting for a customer, you're waiting for a doctor, you're waiting for something better to do.

 

Say you've got a few minutes to kill, what game do you reach for?

I take it you mean with a portable game like a GBA, DS, PSP, or Lynx?

 

I'd probably go with Ultimate Brain Games or Activision Anthology for the GBA.

[NE146]

Easy.. for myself, puzzle games like Puzzle Quest for the PSP, or Picross DS for the DS. You can just save wherever you're at and pick it up later in 5 minute increments.

Something fun and hard.

2600 Defender II and Jr. Pac-Man come immediately to mind.

2600 Defender II

 

That was my first thought.

[2600Lives]

Quick round of Pac-Man sounds about right.

Batman Returns on the Lynx. I never last that long anyways.

One of these days I'll break 10k and get my Activision T-shirt

Something with a timer you can set at five mintues exactly would be good. Say, a 5 minute coin match in Super Smash Bros.

[Ghost Soldier]

Tetris or Pac-man

[Quadhorn]

If I had a laptop, Streets of Rage Remake, with the original sound-track patched back in. Otherwise Mean Bean Machine would be the next choice.

Solar Plexus on the 2600.

Let's see:

 

Dreamcast

-Crazy Taxi (3 or 5 minutes run)

-Powerstone 2 (a single round lasts about 4-5 minutes)

-Virtua Tennis 1 or 2 (You could play 2 exhibition matches in 5 minutes)

-Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 (Runs last 2 minuts, so you could play 2 different ones)

-Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 (2 Sonic/Shadow stages should last you the desired time)

-Mr Driller

 

Game boy Advance

-Warioware Inc or Twisted (lots of variety)

-Gunstar Future Heroes or Astroboy for the GBA (stages last about 3-4 minutes)

-Dr Mario & Puzzle League

-Metal Slug Advance (similar to GFH and AB)

-River City Ransom EX (just play, get some money, and then save your character)

-Mario Power Tennis

 

Atari Lynx

-California Games (4 games inside that last each about 1:30, you could play 3 of them in 5 minutes)

-Blue Lightning (one stage lasts about 5 minutes)

 

NDS

-Zookeeper (There's a mode that let's you play during 6 minutes)

-Mario Kart DS (a couple races )

-Meteos

-Trauma Center (a single operation)

-Ouendan (every song lasts about 2:34, so you could squeeze 2 songs in 5 minutes)

-Cooking Mama (a couple recipes)

Go on AOL and tell all the people there that you are girl ( with discription ) and you are ( some kinda sex thing). Watch all the IM bubbles just pop-up at random

 

It will be so funny to watch these losers pop-up and say hi.

 

I wish I had the heart to con them out of money and Airline tickets. I miss AOL

Yes, I can survive level 4

Whoever said KAAAABBOOOOOOOOOOM is now seconded. How every single person here isn't saying some version of emulated Kaboom is beyond me. It's the only correct answer.

[Gentlegamer]

Crazy Taxi

 

YOU HAVE FIVE CRAAAAZY MINUTES!
