Favorite Games to Play when Sick

[Zing]

if I am well enough to play games, I am not sick.

Your mother taught you this?

Being ill is a funny thing as there are certain games I will only ever play when ill. Fable is one of my favourite RPG's but I didn't play it all the way though until I got ill.

Endless Ocean and Katamari. Same as my hangover games.

I'm encouraged to leave work if I feel ill, especially if I'm throwing up in my trash can (that's happened twice in two years). Getting others a virus is very frowned upon in my offices.

Love playing the Zelda series when I'm sick, as it gives me time to think out any puzzles. Like many, I only have maybe an hour a day (while awake) to play games. Some games you just can't play in "hour spurts". But when I'm sick, hand over the Final Fantasies, Zeldas, and SimCities cause I have all day to play and drink fluids.


Hm. Kind of weird how doctors always say "drink plenty of fluids" as if there was a better way to absorb them. If I was a doctor I'd say, "Drink plenty of fluids, and chew and swallow plenty of solids".

I can't remember the last time I was sick actually. Don't think I have been in the past 5 years, at least. KIcking back with a Musou game with a hangover is pretty good though.

I was going to say Puyo Puyo but then after playing it yesterday I realized it's actually really stressful.

I don't know about you but I rig up my own IV. You can even put a little Everclear in there for a real party.

It depends on how "sick" I am. If I have a fever or some kind of head cold then I'm nowhere near any of my consoles. I'm sleeping w/ the tv on most likely. If it's something tolerable and I can focus on a game then I'm probably playing something from Atari to NES era. No specific genre of games but whatever I'm in the mood for from those types of systems.

The last time I was sick I was recouping from a reaction to black mold in a house I was working on. the initial sickness was too much for me to play a game (103.2 fever) but when I was recouping I found twinstick shooters and metal slug helped quite a bit.


And choplifter.

There is a medical supply store and liquor store located in a nearby strip mall.... thanks for the idea!
