Gaming What is your favorite game to play when things are easygoing?

[MPRTwice]

I still like to play super mario bros. 3, though I can see why super mario world is well-liked. Anyone a fan of old seventies and eighties arcade games such as moon patrol?

Snow Bros by Toaplan, or Super Mario Land 2. Maybe Crazy taxi for nostalgic reason.

More modern games: Burnout paradise or Snow runner.

Great with a trackball like the arcade cabinet.

I have spent too many days playing various Worms games on the DS, PSP and PC. Most fun with multiplayer.

Too many to name but to name a few.. rainbow six rogue spear big tom clancy fan here. Nam 1975 for the arcade one of the best neo geo shooters and an underrated gem overall. Alan Wake, some of the Silent Hill games part 1, 3, and I rather liked downpour.

Since I'm studying most of the day, I play really familiar stuff. Like, really familiar:

Super Mario Bros. 2 and 3, Mega Man 1-6, DuckTales 1 and 2, Darkwing Duck, all stuff I've seen through several times.

There are some good ideas in this thread. I should add Super Mario World and Super Mario Land 1, 2, and 3/Wario Land to the list.

Mario Kart DS but only one lap. Else I get competitive and start snaking.

If I ever start at games that are easy going, I will resort to sandbox games mostly, which will eventually lead to me taking full control over it and it will go from easy going to setting strict goals like wiping a faction off the map or going out to find some rare hidden stuff because i feel i have hit my peak already. For examples of what games, look at either Rimworld (lovingly known by the games community as warcrime sim or organ harvesting tycoon) or Starsector.

Don't forget about our winery on Stardew Valley.

I must admit, that started as easy going game, but once again, the usual cycle started of grinding the ever living **** out of it.

If life is going well I prefer hard games. If life is hard I prefer easy games. I can't enjoy pre-NES era games, they're just too ugly.

Super mario bros 3 is one of my favorites.
