christianscott #1 Posted January 28, 2003 long before there was mario party there was the golden age of 2600, but what games would support social drinking? i'm trying to round up a few good 2600 drinking games to be played at our New England Gamers meet on the 8th. i mean tapper comes to mind for sure but what about some multiplayer games? warlords perhaps...what else, combat chuggers? perhaps i'll have to hook my 8 bit 4 player asteroids. any good ones, help us get drunk!

Nukey Shay #2 Posted January 28, 2003 WARLORDS!! Perhaps one of the best buddy-humiliating, beer-swilling contests ever made. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Osmeroid #3 Posted January 28, 2003 Trying to play Kaboom! while drunk is no mean feat! Warlords - the first & last word in social gaming & drinking:) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZylonBane #4 Posted January 28, 2003 Boo on Warlords. A good while-drinking game (as opposed to a "drinking game", which is something entirely different) should, for obvious reasons, provide a large margin of error for successful play. For example, Val d'Isere Skiing on the Jag is a perfect "drunk" game-- it lets you veer all over the course, and even if you crash you just get right up and keep going. Warlords, OTOH, requires pinpoint precision. After a certain amount of drinks it's just miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss... hardly fun. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joeybastard #5 Posted January 28, 2003 As everyone else has mentioned WARLORDS, but I'd also add Bowling and Activision Ice Hockey. Drinking and those 2 go well together. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Osmeroid #6 Posted January 28, 2003 Ice Hockey 2 player is fun, never tried it while drunk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sku_u #7 Posted January 28, 2003 My friends and I played Breakout amidst a night of social drinking recently. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ze_ro #8 Posted January 28, 2003 I'd have to say Championship Soccer. It looks like crap, but once you get into the game (a few beers will help), it's great two-player fun. Scoring isn't terribly fast, but once you've had a few, it'll speed up Basketball would probably fit the bill too. --Zero Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Godzilla #9 Posted January 28, 2003 fishing derby is GREAT for this. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Godzilla #10 Posted January 28, 2003 oh, and drinking and fishing naturally go together, anyway. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nukey Shay #11 Posted January 28, 2003 Warlords, OTOH, requires pinpoint precision. After a certain amount of drinks it's just miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss... hardly fun. Some have this problem while drinking, yes. Hardly more complicated than ACTUAL softball or bowling, though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Godzilla #12 Posted January 28, 2003 the mythicon games firefly/sorceror are great too, they are very 'sloppy' to play, and the music is really freaky the drunker you get. truly the only funk music on the 2600 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PeeknPoke #14 Posted January 28, 2003 Id plump for Freeway,while pissed. You need beer to enjoy that Chicken movement Then again when ive had a few, I always fire up Missle Command (for some beer and missle action) After sinking a few, I get hungry and head on over to Pressure Cooker where that slice of cheese just looks that little bit more tasty..he he Then im usually sick but not before dancing to Combat Rock Lee Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Inky #15 Posted January 28, 2003 For the non-drinker... Take a shot of Tequila for each minute of fun you have playing Swordquest: Earthworld Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MegaManFan #16 Posted January 28, 2003 For the non-drinker... Take a shot of Tequila for each minute of fun you have playing Swordquest: Earthworld And for the drinker, a shot every minute you DON'T have fun. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
digitalpress #17 Posted January 29, 2003 Yah Chris, I hope you don't mind a lot of sloppy drunkenness and vomit on your carpet. I promise I'll try to avoid the rare games. So... as the big guy that appears in stills between every third fight in Pit-Fighter says: "JUST WAIT". At least that's what I *think* he says. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Happy_Dude #18 Posted January 29, 2003 Video Olympics The greatest drinking game ever. Rules: If you concede a point you take a shot easy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Godzilla #19 Posted January 29, 2003 soon no one can even stop a point, and everyone is sloshed... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Happy_Dude #20 Posted January 29, 2003 soon no one can even stop a point, and everyone is sloshed... Thats the Idea :D and when all you're drinking buddies only have the mod cons ( Whats a VCS? ) It becomes even less gameplay oriented Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Inky #23 Posted January 30, 2003 Trying to play Kaboom! while drunk is no mean feat! I know, it's impossible! Same with Indy 500. Perhaps someone could do a hack of Indy 500 where every time the computer (or opponent) does a lap, you have to take a shot. Control of your car becomes slightly more erratic each time. Then after 10 laps, a cop car comes out and hauls your ass off to jail. Call the game Dumbass DUI. Nahh. (I know this was in bad taste, so please don't flame.)
