i forgot to mention a few games on playstation which kept me amazed for
quite awhile back then:
silent hill, final fantasy 7 and metal gear solid.
especially the first one, silent hill, was very consuming. i used to play it with
a friend of mine who was living in a flat together with some other guys. the
two of us were regularly lying on the floor in front of the television and had
all the lights dimmed down while playing SH. often, some visiting pals came
in, wondering about the strange atmosphere and asking about what we're playing -
but they seldomly received an answer. we were that concentrated of what's
going on on the screen that we've totally lost our awareness of the surroundings.
we didn't react or stopped playing until our other friends teared open the window
blinds in order to let sunlight in because the became a little pissed off from sitting
in darkness the whole day watching us killing strange monsters and stuff...
