Games that you have fallen asleep to....
« on: February 09, 2009, 04:41:47 PM »
How could you fall asleep playing a game? well it happens... i think.

For me playing Castlevania on the GBA, i forget which one... my ass found a comfy spot on the couch one evening & i was getting nowhere fast in one area...and than... i just drifted off when i was in a nice quite part of the castle... aaaah... i woke up and i was still alive... but i swear the charactor had that "wtf" face on him :P

so has it happen to you?.... or games that you find yourself getting sleepy playing... like some one shot ya with a tranquilizer!!!
do tell.

Dude I loved castlevania games, but one of the GBA releases would put me to sleep. I never actually dozed off with the system on, but came pretty dang close. It is a good game to play that will knock you out at night.

Shenmue -- towards the end.  I like the game, but no can deny that the pace is slow at times.

Hmm.... Talking about it kinda makes me wanna play it now.

Great thread, this is something that has happened to me several times. There is one humerous story where I fell asleep while playing Neo Metal Fantasy once and my brother witnessed me constantly tapping the confirm button while my character was standing still on the world map. It's been happening to me more often recently too, while playing Final Fantasy VII, Opoona, and I think even Ys Book I & II! Definitely happens most with RPGs. This doesn't mean there is anything wrong with a game that I have fallen asleep to though!

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

that new Final Fantasy VII game for PSP puts me to sleep. Maybe my brain realizes that it is a "dummy" FFVII game....

I haven't fallen asleep while playing 'em, but the latter Final Fantasy games' animated battle crap and boring cut scenes were numerous enough that I would turn and watch television or read the paper.

I've definitely fallen asleep to Castlevania Symphony of the Night.  I was playing the psp version and woke up killing things (yes I play in my sleep).  The other games I've fallen asleep playing recently have been Mega Man X2, and X4.........  Oh and there are a ton of RPGs I've fallen asleep on, but I wasn't playing them in my sleep.

I've done it on a few occasions on late-night game sessions after a few too many brewskis. It's always fun waking up at 5:30am with game music blaring, warm beer still in-hand.

I fell asleep playing pac-land. the music is always the same, the levels repeat themselves and each other a lot, and it just seemed to go on and on and on.

though I may have been under the influence of benadryl at the time.

Jesus. Benadryl. We were talking about this earlier on the shoutbox, but I could be playing the final level/boss of Ghosts 'n Goblins on the second run and still fall asleep if I was on Benadryl. That stuff works, but it knocks you out.  :shock: I took some before work on Monday. Lets just say Monday morning I had paperclips keeping my eyes open. Twas terrible.
