What were some of the video games that made you want to pull your hair out?
I had several versions of "You Don't Know Jack" and enjoyed it a lot since most people in my world didn't like playing Trivial Pursuit with me (I have about 10 versions of that in the closet.) The first game I really attempted that was a real video game was "Myst" and I sucked a lot at that even with my son and his friend trying to coach me, I was awful at it. I think the only game I was actually any good at was Tetris. I play solitaire and puzzle games online quite a bit but the real deal video games just aren't my thing.
I loved "You Don't Know Jack" I simply could not keep up with the speed. Just like I like the TV game show Jeopardy, but often come up with the answer slower than the contestants. If "You Don't Know Jack" allowed pause and google search it would be boring. I like Trivial Pursuit a lot more because there was no agreed time frame in answering questions, at least not the board game version.
Tetris frustrated the hell out of me.
