Exciting Giveaway: Enter now. :)
- June 16th, 2008 1:46 am
When I was younger, I had a gameboy. And for me, life did not get more exciting than the gameboy. In fact, it was the only thing I loved more than candy cigarettes. I played Tetris and Mario for countless hours. I would play until the 4 double A batteries secured in the back had met their demise. I’d still be playing it right now if it hadn’t been stolen.
To me, the Gameboy was by far the best hand held system. Until recently, when Nintendo sent a Nintendo DS for me, a pink DS, to boot. I drooled over it. It was so pretty and pearly looking. And the best part is that it was accompanied by the new CrosswordsDS game for the DS. Oh, how I love crossword puzzles.
And with the new swag, an old habit reappeared. The ability to play the product and be fully entertained for hours. The DS was easy to use with amazing features like the pen pad and the ability to talk with other DS users both verbally and through the written word. And the Crosswords game has all levels from beginners to experts.
The Crosswords game has over 1000 puzzles. If you aren’t into Crosswords, there are also wordfinds and anagrams.
Since the DS is portable, I played in the car and all around my house. Even on my toilet. (You really can play it anywhere, anytime.) Plus, the DS charges with an adapter. So unlike my old lover, the gameboy, I didn’t have to spring for Double A batteries every time the power was low.
The DS has a touch screen, a microphone, and a fancy little thing they call a stylus, but I call a pen. The colors on the screen are amazing and the games are entertaining. It’s fun for the whole family, even your grandmother would enjoy it.
It was like Christmas to my inner nerd. And my inner nerd loves Christmas.
The good news is that I am giving away two of the systems accompanied by two of the Crossword games. So two of you have a chance to receive a Nintendo DS and the Crosswords DS game.
In order to enter, you must:
Leave a comment telling me your favorite video game. If you don’t have a favorite video game, enter with your favorite board game. I’ll put the names of all the entries into a giant bowl and draw out two winners. The giveaway ends at 12:00 pm on June 23. The winners will be drawn and announced that evening.
EDIT: The winners will be drawn with random.org’s generator. 223 are way too many for me to put in a bowl and draw out!

Wow, you just brought back some serious old school memories! I loved my Gameboy. I was a big fan of Metroid and Legend of Zelda.
I always wondered about the new DS and if it was just as cool as the Gameboy back in the day… thanks for making me want one now

this is too cool! My favorite video game has to be this little known game called McKids for the orginal nintendo. And yes it had to do with mcdonald’s, but it was so fun! But right now I’m lovin Lego Indiana Jones!

I am such a big fan of Gradius and Contra. It was just too bad that my brother and I had to fight over who gets to play first. Unfortunately, he always beats me at any game!
Anyway, I like it though when it’s a 2-player game. It means that we work together as a team. Playing as a team is so fun. I miss laughing with my brother whenever I make a little mistake by making my character fall off the cliff. Games for me doesn’t only mean playing alone, but playing with the people you love or sharing it with them.
Which reminds me, I just drool at the site of my friend’s DS. She always gets cool new gadgets! I get to play with it for a while but it dawned on me, oh, I wish it was mine! Lol!

At the moment it’s “Super Mario World”, which I’m playing on a Gameboy Advance my mommy bought for me a couple of years ago because she thinks I’m still 10. I play it all the time (because she’s right, I am still 10).

LOL I don’t play any video games because they make me motion sick :o( But a video crossword sounds way cool! Hmmm so my favorite game will have to be a board game. I’d say my fav is, without a doubt, Pictionary. I don’t know if they even make it anymore but I love that game! It’s so hilarious. Like bowling, the worse you are the more fun it is.

Best game ever is Earthbound for SNES!!! LOL. I still have my SNES and still play it…it’s a silly RPG about a boy trying to save this imaginary world. The worst enemies are monsters like “New Age Retro Hippie” and the dialog is TERRIBLE. But at least he gets to eat a lot of cheeseburgers.

Well, its a good thing I came to check you out after you commented.
I have perfect timing, eh?!
Ok well I’d say my fav video game MUST be Ms. Pac Man. Not the regular Pac Man… it the Mrs who did it for me. I also was capable of saving the princess in Mario Bros and could rock at Duck Hunt. I even had the Olympics thing with the power-pad.
If I had a DS, however, I’d be playing that Brain game, b/c Lord knows after two kids sucking away IQ points I could use some training.
Come visit again soon.
June 16th, 2008 @ 6:39 am
I still love the original nintedo Super Mario 3…probably because I played so much that I was somewhat decent at that unlike the majority of the other games I attempted.
I ADORE crossword puzzles…this would make me happy =)
June 16th, 2008 @ 6:44 am
OMG, how OLD am I? I played a lot of pong as a kid. Seriously. And we had some huge pixelized castle game where you had to get these keys and avoid the dragons and save the humanoid looking princess. Wish I could remember the name of that. But then the video games moved to the pizza place and this one guy could play Donkey Kong on one quarter all night. Kind of hated, kind of admired that guy.

I’m going older school here and saying that I loved, absolutely LOVED the game of Robotron. Nothing better than killing robots and saving humans, plus I got pretty good at it - that always helps.
A close second would be Centipede.
June 16th, 2008 @ 7:19 am
I once stayed up all night at a sleepover playing Donkey Kong. But I’m gonna go super old school on this one and say my favorite Atari game (yeah, I’m aging myself) was Pitfall.

As for Gameboy..
My 9yo has an old gameboy system handed down from his brother, and he plays it till the batteries die too
We are ‘wishing’ for a DS b/c I think my Brain is in need of some of the Brain Age games
Do you remember Dr. Mario? that was my favorite, and Tetris.
I love most board games, with the exception of monopoly and mouse trap.

June 16th, 2008 @ 7:49 am
I had an Atari as a kid. It wasn’t the regular Atari because it also had a computer so I could do some basic programming. And the graphics were better than the regular Atari. My favorite games were Missile Command and Frogger.
When the Nintendo came out I’d play Tetris for hours on end. I was addicted. One game would end, and I’d be like, “just one more game” until the sun came up and I had to go to work. I suffered many a morning of Tetris hangover.
I can’t play any games anymore, not even the Wii. My thumbs are both wrecked and I am sure it’s from the Tetris and Sonic and Rampart, but oh how I can still close my eyes and see the pieces falling into place.

June 16th, 2008 @ 9:16 am
Oh wow! I soooooo want to win one! I’ve been eying the DS for a while now….
Okay, my favorite video game of all time is Mario Paint. It is a game you could buy for the 1st Super Nintendo. Ii came with a mouse and a hard plastic mouse pad. You can make music, draw pictures, create cartoons and some other cool stuff. I still have it and the player….
Do I get two entries for that?
June 16th, 2008 @ 9:23 am

definitely tetris
June 16th, 2008 @ 9:39 am
Favorite handheld game? Super Mario3. in fact, the boys “lost” the game so that I couldn’t play it anymore. And then the DS broke, so sad.
June 16th, 2008 @ 9:39 am
LMAO….. I posted about gaming today too.
My most favorite game is tetris. I am such a DORK!
June 16th, 2008 @ 9:40 am
Not into vids, but I LOVE a good board game. Like Cranium. Or Pictionary. Apples to Apples. Even Boggle. I can play Boggle on line. Does that count as a video game?

Oh how I would love to win a DS of my own!!! My son NEVER lets me play his. I even bought Brain Age 2 for it, yet whenever I feel like playing it, he is always on it playing some Pokemon or Zelda game!
My favorite game when I was younger and had the first ever Gameboy was Dr. Mario. Hours on end of fun fun fun. I would sit and play it at the laundromat when I was first married at 18. I would play it waiting at the doctor’s office. I would play it anywhere the mood struck me. I might have been married, but I was still young and in love with my video games.
Nowadays I like games like Brain Age, and Tetris.
There is this game online called Peggle (I think it’s on PopCap) that is entirely too much fun. I spent the $19.95 to download it and I have mastered it already.
Put me in the hopper please, I would love to have a chance to win!!
Thank you!

I’m gonna guess that nobody knows this game called Deja Vu. It was a mystery video game about a guy with amnesia with a connection to the mob. I never did beat that game. Still Frustrated! I also loved Clue. (can you tell I’m a crime novel buff???). Oh and my husband and I whipped out Nintendo the original and busted out my fav game on that Mario Bros 3. I whooped his butt! hahaha.

It wasn’t hand-held, and I know I’m dating myself here, but PacMan was my game of choice back in the day. (Tell me you can’t still remember the sounds on it?) I nearly got carpel tunnel syndrome playing that thing (at work) in college. Nowadays, I’m more the Apples to Apples type, but I do love to play the Brain Age thing on my daughter’s DS. Maybe it’s time Mom had one!
June 16th, 2008 @ 10:02 am
My favorite game has got to be Super Mario Brothers 3…I would still be playing it and teaching my 3-year-old to play it too if I hadn’t lost all the cords to the original Nintendo
June 16th, 2008 @ 10:07 am
When I was little I got an atari and that was the bomb, but in college my boyfriend gave me a game boy. I had to do a presentation in one of my classes about a product and I chose the game boy. My college professor laughed at me for having one , but I loved Tetris.

As for my favorite game of all time, it would have to be Spyro. When Budman and I were dating, we would spend all weekend in front of the TV playing spyro. When we’d finish one, we’d run out and get the next one… **Sigh** Such good memories…

Oh how fun! Ok, I LOVED Tetris in my younger days, but when Sony Playstation came out with Bust A Groove, my friends and I were hooked! We even invited groups of people over to our condo and had “Bust A Groove A-Thons” with brackets and everything. What a great game. Think: early Dance Dance Revolution without the mat. Boy, that makes me want to go home right now, dust the game off and spend all day honing my video dancing skills.
June 16th, 2008 @ 11:28 am
Holy crap! I used to take my brother’s gameboy all the time to play tetris!!! Never got one of my own (no matter how many times I asked), so I would barter with my brother to use his all the time. I’d do his chores, I’d give him my favorite candies. My three step-brothers started bringing theirs when they came just to get stuff outa me and I.didn’t.care!

Anyway, to further date myself, my favorite video game when I was a teenager was, and still is to this day, Donkey Kong. My 7-year-old is currently saving money for a DS system, so it would be great to win one.

By the way, have you lost weight and has anyone told you that you look like Angelina Jolie?

I mean this poor, neglected child. If not for me do it for this sweet angel of a girl would love you forever.
And I always try to win stuff and never do….it sucks (pity, in case you missed that!)
However, my favorite game ever is Super Mario Brothers. I am obsessed with that game. As a child, I played it nightly and finished the game 500X’s. My favorite board game is Clue. Because I like portraying Miss. Scarlett…..what??? She’s hot!
I’ll be back now….you are pretty cool. If you visit my blog…..I will put a “begging” picture up! Just for you!

When I was little, I had a ColecoVision, with a Cabbage Patch Kids game. I loved that game so much! There was also one with a skating penguin, I can’t remember what it was called.
I’m currently addicted to Guitar Hero on the Wii. I can’t stop playing it. The Wii keeps track of how long you play and I can’t even admit how long it was on Saturday, but it was an embarrassingly long time.
June 16th, 2008 @ 1:19 pm
Without a doubt, it HAS to be Tetris. I was deprived as a child, and as a result, totally bogarted my friends’ NES systems when I was over at their houses to play, and am still disappointed that the system my boyfriend owns did NOT come with Tetris. However, there is Mario 3, so that is some consolation– it’s definitely a close second, which I think speaks to my lack of skill at video games that require depth perception and such. Oh! And, more recently, I have been loving Smarty Pants on the Wii…if only I had my own.

My favorite video game is the motorcycle racing game, it
was the first one I ever played and I beat my husband the first
time we played.

Holy Cow you are big time now! You know, I was never a big gamer, but I always liked the original Mario. And, Donkey Kong and Frogger.

Tetris. I had it on my graphing calculator in high school, and I never got anything done, because I would play that game until my eyes crossed and my head hurt for three days.
(And please don’t tell anyone, but I just loved that game where you got the toy gun and hunted for ducks. It was effin’ awesome!!!!)

Haven’t played video games since I bought my oldest daughters an “Atari” back in the late-80’s. I now have a 6 year old and, poor thing, has no absolutely no video gaming experience. Love crosswords, would like the DS for me.

My top two games right now are Rock Band, and Mario Kart. We all have so much fun playing

Dude…I love me some video games. I also had a gameboy when I was younger…I wonder what happened to mine. Although I can recall spending COUNTLESS hours playing Tetris my favorite old school game was Dr. Mario (or Oregon Trail for the PC…you have died of dysentery). If I had to pick a favorite current game it would be Sims online but I don’t allow myself to play it while I am in school because it consumes me!!

Ms. PacMan, for I am ancient.
Tetris and it’s cohort, Dr. Mario, for they are the only other two video games I understand besides Ms. PacMan.

Oh wow, does anyone remember Kirby’s Dreamland? I’m sure it would be horrendously awful now, but when I was nine, it rocked. A marshmallow puff flying around, spitting at things to take them down? There’s no way to make that sound cool.
Otherwise, Mario was the only game I ever beat.

I’m with you on the Tetris. It is just about the only game I can play without getting my tail completely kicked! I try to play Xbox 360 with my son and I get stuck in a corner and he laughs at me! Oh well I guess it is the quality time that counts. I would love to get one of these and learn a game and beat my 16 year old just once! LOL
By the way, I’m new to your site and have really enjoyed what I have read so far. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for the opportunity!

I am a Nindendo gal and probably will always be. I started out with the original nintedo, then years and years later, I got the game boy advance, then the game cube now I have graduated to the Wii. Loved them all. My favourite game is anything to do with Mario, especially Mario Party…love them. I have to give a shout out to Guitar Hero 3 as well. Looking forward to Guitar Hero Aerosmith.
I am such a dork but I don’t care. LOL.
June 16th, 2008 @ 4:43 pm
Oh I used to madly, deeply covet a Gameboy when I was little and I was never allowed to have one. Tetris was always my favorite game. It still kind of is, actually!

My favourite video game is Tetris. I’ve never had a video game system, but I used to play it on my graphing calculator.
June 16th, 2008 @ 5:28 pm
lmao, too funny. I’m trying to sell my gameboy and because the DS is out, no one wants it

I love video games (that I play with my kids) and board games. My favorite video game of all time is VIVA PINATA. It is SO much fun. The boys loved it, it was awesome. I was totally addicted.

Well, my all time favorite video games are definitely Super Mario games. There’s nothing better than jumping on snails (?) and shooting fireballs out of your mouth.
I also love love love Worms World Party and Unreal Tournament, oh and Diablo! hahaha. James turned me into a video game nerd.

On the action-side I’m definitely a mario girl. I love how un-cluttered the screen is and how simple the games are.
On the passive-side I love my new Scene It game for the xbox 360. Unfortunately, the day after I got it my xbox developed the red ring of death and now it has to be sent away…

Oh my goodness! I have been searing FOREVER for the first nintendo so I could play it over and over and over and over and over again. I am pretty boring though - I just loved playing the Super Mario Brothers. 1 and 3 are my favorite…still. I do rock the Tetris world as well though!
June 16th, 2008 @ 7:22 pm
The closest thing I ever had to a video game growing up was a game I think called pong on an old k-pro computer our school had. Later it was solitare on an old apple computer my mom bought. By the time she bought it, it was already considered a dinasour. Oh well.

I have enjoyed Tetris and Free Cell and I would love to learn some newer games on the DS!
June 16th, 2008 @ 8:35 pm
So booth of my boys have one of these new age gameboys. And I want one. They never let me play theirs. They are so mean to their Momma sometimes. I seen the post on Krissy’s page and I have to admit that picture is pitiful. But she can have the other one. I just want one. Of my very own. And if it’s PINK all the better for me cause the boys won’t touch it.
Ok favorite game of all time would have to be the old school Donkey Kong. I loved it but nowadays it’s Guitar Hero 3 when the boys let me play.
