An old post, but I saw it, so resurfacing it, since it's a good subject I missed during my time away from PCEFX;
I had an OK time with certain games late at night, when younger. if I stayed over, or vice-versa. As long as everything was civil, no too loud, not much f*ck was given, since it was a Friday night or similar. Either side, never had super strict parents with sleep during such get togethers, however some people had game systems, in the, "Family room", near a parent's bedroom, so that would get out of the question after a certain hour, instead of in a, "TV-Room", "Study", "Their own room", or, "Basement"
I lost my first post, timed out. Retyping as I recall!
First all nighter, with a console game, 8 Eyes, on the NES. I played the 1st player guy, the other guy played player 2, the bird. Which is needed at times, to fly through walls. It was already late, but, we figured, "LET'S PLAY 8 EYES!". We did, sometime alter, we beat it, then turned on Comedy Central or something not memorable at 5am or so, and slept on the floor or something.
This was early 90s, when CC was still fresh.
The TV, was a floor model, wood cased, CRT, 27 inch or so, where the VCR, NES, Cable box, etc was all stacked on top.
Food, Microwaveable stuff prepared earlier - Popcorn, Elios pizza, Bagel Pizza, etc. When it go TOO late, Goldfish crackers, Chex Mix, whatever was in a bag/box, along with water, and whatever was in pitchers in the fridge or cans, or powdered mix.
After that, we did not touch 8 eyes again. We beat it. We later moved into, years later, PC game all nighters, with DOOM, Blood, modem to modem. We would stop when the un started to rise, on the weekends.
Good times, never to repeat. At least, not repeat, quite the same way!
