Baldur's Gate
I played Samurai Pizza Cats at recess with my friends.
I used to play a game called Cockroach. :D
I wonder if anyone here can figure out how this game was played. I "invented" it and we used to play it all the time as kids. It's fairly obvious, the name is descriptive.
You were being disgusting in front of others?Quote:

I invented this stupid game called "THE CALENDER MURDERER" and yes, it was in all capital letters because it was really scary. I don't remember how it went but it included people dying and the players had to guess some sort of pattern. Pretty stupid game, really.
Oh, and I loved the not touching the floor game. :love:
We used to get down on our knees, grab our ankles, and try and charge at each other full speed and knock each other over.
Games of 'ankle wrestling' still happen to settle disputes.
Hahah, close! But it wasn't aimless. We had a classroom at school that had no windows and lots of big round tables. We'd go in there and turn off the lights so that it was pitch black. Then everyone would climb on top of the tables and wait there until the person who was the Cockroach came to get them. People on the tables were allowed to get down and run to another table, but they can't stay on the ground. The cockroach had to crawl around the ground and always keep both knees and at least one hand on the floor at all times. The other hand could reach up and try and grab someone who was on the table so that they would be the next cockroach. It was fun cause it was dark and scary and there was someone scramblng around the floor reaching for your legs and stuff. :pQuote:

That's pretty much it. Other than that we'd just go exploring in the woods alot and fight with sticks.Quote:

I should look those up someday. I had a lot of fun with them.
We played Jonty. It involved a tennis ball and teams. Basically there is no way to really win, either. You play it on a field, to save from some injuries. The idea is that you give a tennis ball to Team A and the Team B beats the crap out of whoever in Team A has the tennis ball in order to get it off them. Once they get it off them, the roles reverse. It was great fun, though. You could rely on speed and run like hell from people, good throwing where you just keep throwing it to someone who isn't marked by anyone, strength when it comes to just shoving people away and of course, should anyone get taken to the ground, it becomes sort of like an dirty rugby maul where you just have to try and pry someone's hand open to get the ball before he can manage to slip it away to another teammate. It's probably the most fun sport I've ever played!

Fun times :greenie:
I invented a war game between my stuffed animals (I had A LOT of them). I would line them up in battle formation on opposite sides of the living room, then lob a small nerf ball. Whenever one got hit by the ball directly they would be "killed" and whenever it was on a single bounce they were "wounded" and they would be removed from battle. Sometimes my brother would play with me, and I think even my dad "generaled" one of the sides a few times.
My sister and I also invented this game called "Freeze Ball." We actually created a neighborhood league. There was a house next door to ours in which the people were almost never there, and on the side facing our yard was a giant, windowless wall of their house. We had a small/kiddie tennis net that we would set up to separate the "court." Each team had two players. We took a soccer-ball sized plastic ball (like those ones in the ball racks/bins in grocery stores) and served it underhand volleyball style off the wall to the otherside of the court. Then play proceeded by knocking the ball back across the court by hitting it off the wall and so on. When the ball hit the ground, the person closest to it had to "freeze." Then the play resumed until both players on one team were "frozen" and the non-frozen team would receive a point. 6 points won a set, three sets wins the match. There were some extra rules, like if a frozen person caught a ball without moving their feet, they could be unfrozen. The initial serve had to be put within a specific area of play or it was a "balk" (to prevent the server from just blasting it off the wall as far as they could). Anyway, we had hours and hours of fun playing this game. It's something I cherish because as you get older you find there's increasingly less a boy and his sister can have fun doing together. :cry:
I played those in excess.Quote:

Tackle Basketball. About 12-15 kids playing a game of street basketball on a half-court. Complete with legal tackles, pushing, shoving, and sometimes punches in the face. We also had a version of football like this. It was on cement. World of pain. Especially when you're the smallest kid with almost no muscle mass. It helped to be very quick and good with the "jukes".
I invented Pokemon.
My older brother and I also maintained an RPG using nothing but a chessboard, with pieces, and our own imaginations. I think we had one going for a full month. It was fun. Then we found Dungeons and Dragons and our world expanded. No more rooks and bishops for us!
We also had a version of the above game except it involved a deck or two of playing cards instead of a chessboard. I can't remember what the point of it all was, but it turned into a big thing.
My older brother and I also played a paper and pencil version of SimAnt. We would take notebooks and create our own ant holes, complete with logical and fair numbers of what each ant hole would have. Worker ants, "fighter" ants, the queen ant, and the whole she-bang. We would then do a sort of Role-Playing Ant War.
We were kinda strange.
I also used to play a game where I would peel the biggest piece of skin off my body (usually it came from my foot) and then I would chase my friends around, or my brother's friends around, yelling "LOOK AT THIS! LOOK AT THIS!" while they yelled "Get away from me, freak! GO AWAY!".
I was kinda gross.
Hide and Go seek WAR.
