Quote: ilovespyro11My dad is addicted to Spyro more than I am. (Anyone who says people aged 10+ are too old for Spyro, my dad was about 31 at the time. He's 39 now, still a Spyro gamer forever!) Anyway. A few years ago, when I was six, I was begging him to let me play but he wouldn't let me-three guesses why
he went to get a cuppa tea, dragging my PS1 with him. Okay, our
shared PS1. When he came back he played Spyro with one hand and my mum comes in and trips over the playstation, flipping it over. Dad gets up to sort it out because Mum goes off to work, and he trips over the console wire, spilling tea everywhere. I scream and rip the disc out of the PS1 while dad cleans the tea up. I wipe the disc and we try it in the playstation, to find it's as glitchy as hell. We take the PS1 to the Game shop and they tell us it's broken
dad gets me a PS2 for my 7th birthday and I try Gateway to Glimmer straight away. It works! Dad chucks the old PS1 in the bin and he nicks GtG off me and starts flaming Hunter's ass in the Speedway rounds.
Anyone else's disc had a near-death experience?
LOL! Your Dad seems like a lot of fun, I bet I could beat him easily at any Spyro game, my Dad got me into video games too, but it wasn't Spyro at first, that came a little bit later on, at first it was Tomb Raider, and he got into video games in his 50's. He's in his late 60's now, but can't play video games as good as before, for one thing, he's getting too slow at them, which is ashame really. I used to struggle at video games and he used to be better than me, and now it's going the other way round, so revenge time for me.
By the way, I've had one with my Beatles: Rock Band video game, it was my own stupid fault, for some reason I couldn't be bothered to just put the console on the shelf, but no, I left it in the middle of the room, as I walked across the room to grab the guitar, I knocked over the console by mistake with my foot, the console was fine, but the disc died. Luckily I got a new one now, and I only had that first copy for a week. And now I can be arsed to put it on the shelf, lol.
