The games people play: What games/sports are you best at?

[JohnT]

I'm not that good at sports, but I've played my share of video games and I would say that the one game that I completely dominated was the old 80's arcade game Robotron: 2084. On factory settings, I was able to play that game for as long as I wanted to - if Dad and I were in the mall, I'd get a quarter and play Robotron for a hour or so while he shopped. I used to roll the game over by getting too many extra men, which sometimes resulted in a lost game. I've never been so good at a video game before or since.

So, do we have any champion Scrabble or Monopoly players here? Any wargamers? Any triathalon runners, mountain climbers, or pool players around here? Recount your past tales of glory!

football, i'm pretty good at that, not overly skillful but i can tackle, run fast, have bags of energy and am both footed. which suits the position i play (left back/wing) fine.

used to play for a local team before i came to uni, didn't try out for the uni team because training clashes with two of my seminars

play a bit of tennis too, though i was ok but tried out for the uni team and found out how ****e i really was

[Bereta_Eder]

But how do the horses navigate the rocks?

Poker is my game
I clean up every time.

I'm good at most card games, not sure why; Hearts and Whist more than others.

Pretty damn hot at monopoly also

Computer game-wise I am the all time world king of Phobia 2, but unfortunately that's becuase very few people ever played it, or heard of it.

I've never found one sport I'm particualrly good at. Unless you count a natural ability to put the boot in when playing defense in football. I was very good at that.

I'm pretty good at basketball, football and baseball. (Although baseball is my favorite sport, and all I play these days is flag football)

I have played countless strategy games (Diplomacy being my favorite strategy game ever), and play a mean game of Playstation football as well.

I was a champion Civilization the board game player (actually advanced civilization)

I only lost like 3 games in as many years (and only 2 games or so for the 7 years before that)

during that time I played 40 games or so

the last year I played (last year) I did not win one (I played 6 games or so)

IU went from being a few points up every game to being a few points down every game (to the same player)
