Alright, down to business. Some SAHDs have a lot of free time to themselves. What's everybody's favorite video game to kill time. I would have to go with the original Max Payne. I know... why? It's just a classic. It's not like I said Duck Hunt!!

BRING BACK THE IRRELEVANCE!!!!
Half-Life 2
The only videogame indulgence in the past five years. Two weeks of playing about four hours a night. Playing Wii, PS2, etc. isn't the same thing in my book. I'll take a PC-based game over a console version any time.
One exception was deathmatch mode in GoldenEye 007 (N64). Grenade launchers in the basement scenario - I kicked ass on bank shots.

too many game systems?
In our house (not counting the laptop) we've got SIX game systems... and they are all in use. We've got an X-Box (got it free for shampooing my buddy's carpets), PS2, Nintendo and Super Nintendo (they're actually combined in one system called an FC Twin, check it out at amazon.com), Gameboy Advance, and get this... an Atari (oh you know it, I got Pitfall and Keystone Capers, boys)!!!!!

Strategy
Oh the choices....I guess I'd go with Silent Hunter III (WWII u-boats) since I've been playing that one continuously for a few years. I usually go for strategy games since I can peck at it when I have time and pick up where I left off later; though on occasion I'll get into a good FPS for some stress relief.

Atari?
Are you talking like an original Atari or one of the so-caled updated new versions that I have seen before? I remember playing Atari so long ago and I thought that it was the greatest thing ever. Now you have to remember I am going to turn 30 in Oct. so I have been growing up in the age where video games were the newest rage.
I believe my favorite games would have to be EA Sports NCAA Football and Madden. I have not played Madden in a long time because I think that it is just getting moe and more complicated when they add things to the game. The NCAA versions have kept it somewhat simple and I would rather recruit than draft with salary caps and so on. It is easier to deal with academis violations than an unruly free-agent.
Solution for buttons.
If you are having trouble getting the hang of all the different button combos.......Buy a Wii..I have said it before and I will continue to say it..Wii is the best new system out there....yeah yeah so what X Box 360 and PS3 have better graphic capabilities but the Wii destroys all in the game play department which is what gaming is all about. You can have the best graphics money can buy but in the end if the game play isn't there than WGAF.....The Wii is making massive breakthroughs in the way we see gaming and it shows that people love it because you can buy X-Box and PS3 just about anywhere but you can be guaranteed that you should call ahead before going to grab a Wii at your local retailers. Nintendo 4 Life....Peace out!
Atari, free time
dadofallboys,
yup... the REAL Atari. Still works and I LOVE it!!!
mbieweng,
My 9 year old is actually more high maintanence than my 2 year old!! But they are both VERY independant which gives me a lot more free time than a lot of SAHDs. I feel fortunate sometimes, but I really miss my little guy being a little guy sometimes too. :(

P.S. Talk about your great gameplay and crappy graphics!

Nintendo rawks!
I have a GameCube and am currently working on Bounty Hunter - not the best Star Wars game ever, but pretty cool. I do want a Wii in the near future because oh who knows I might actually get a little bit of exercise and not just my thumbs. But the best reason to keep it Nintendo...well, three reasons I can think of: Mario! Zelda! Metroid! Can't get em anywhere else!
So why don't they call it mooching when the wife stays home?
My Choice
I still love the original Zelda for the old 8 bit Nintendo...I know the graphics aren't great, but I just like the way the game plays. On my computer, I like any of those hidden object games where you find the stuff hidden in the picture...kind of an I spy on the computer.
