Does this ring any bells?

I think that I owe large part of my personality to this.

 

[Virtual ghost]

Anyone?

Lemmings! ^_^ I remember this game! I was terrible at it Lmao! Lots of puzzle-solving with no shiny distractions admist it.. I am definitely not an INTJ. But I did like it all the same.

 

[01011010]

Ah, from an era when games were still relatively difficult.

 

[GargoylesLegacy]

Oh Gee, my Frie....err...I mean...LEMMINGS!!! ^^°°
I was pretty good at it and uh...somehow, when I look at this Video it strongly reminds me of my nearer Environment. Now whyyyy would THAT be. *cough*

 

[Ivy]

I freaking loved Lemmings.

BTW moved from A&E

Hmm... 5 people in the thread and 3 of them are INTJ.
Can somebody explain to me why I am not suprised?

 

[nightning]

Because we're computer nerds?

Lemmings was great... strategy games are loads of fun.

 

[StoryOfMyLife]

We played this game when I was in elementary school! I was pretty bad at it *lol* I seemed to do better with Oregon Trail [anybody remember that one? ] though don't think I ever made it to Oregon o.o;

With some INTJ instruction, I bet the Lemmings could have made it to Oregon...

Because we are Computernerds as nightning already said AND because we are the "Leaders" who will "boss People around". Why? Because oddly so many Persons like to put their Lives in our Hands.
There, I've said it.

So as I was saying...Myyyyy, those lil nice Lemmings...they so remind me of my Frien...err...Something.

I've spent a lot of time on Lemmings, too.
I mainly played a version that had a lot more levels and different kinds of Lemmings. It definitely wasn't the original.

Call me anti-tolerant but I think that back then video games were created by a bunch of NTs and almost all of them were mostly for other NTs.

I remember also that old games required much more intellect then most of modern games.

I played them too, with time they made the entire thing more complicated then the original.

Okay so let's make a Theory here...Do you think that because of that most Persons who actually beat those Games "easily" were NTs?

If so, then the Theory I have about my Dad is definitely true.

Well, I won't place any bets on it but it could be.

I have said what I said because most of modern games are all about graphics or "make-up" but from the point of intellect they are not hard or complex.

Today only games that need higher level of lntellect to be played are
role-playing games and strategy games.

While some 15-20 years ago graphic was so bad that only way to make a game was by creating logical problems.

I think that Lemmings are one good example of this.

 

[nightning]

Well, since most games back then were based on logic... fitted with many many levels... naturally only NTs will maintain interest all enough to beat them. I'd imagine other types would have gotten bored half way through. Practice makes perfect right?

I think that practice is not so much important as will to play with logical problems.

 

[Night]

Great, great game, Antisocial.

My favorite level was "Heaven". Theme music was especially memorable.

 

[Virtual ghost]

Hmm, 5 INTJ in a thread this small?
That can't be just a coincidence.


In the case that someone wants to enjoy the old times I will post 2 videos.
