The title says it all. What games that you can remember give you blisters or sore thumbs every time you play it?
I have two games that have always given me sore thumbs and blisters.
1. Street Fighter 2 (any version, and system). There is no fighting game that hurts my fingers as much as this one. Tekken has a lot of the same motions, but it\'s not nearly as fast. After having big Street Fighter tournaments with my brother (lasting anywhere from 1 to 4 hours ;)), my fingers are a mess. It takes about a week before I can play video games without pain after that.
2. Summer Olympics 2000 on the N64. For the most part this game is fine, but one event destroys my hands: The event where the person throws the big ball attached to a cable. To spin around before you throw it, you have to rotate the analog as fast as possible. The best way to do this is to put your palm on the analog stick and move your whole arm. By the time this event is over, my hand has small painful blisters.
So, what games have you played that completely destroy your hands?
BTW, this isn\'t a debate, but it does deal with different consoles. That\'s why I put it here.
-
Tekken 3, cuz the PAL version was soooo slow...
One SNES game that I cant remember the name of..
You played a fighterjet..
-
Easily Metal Gear Solid, when ocelot was electracuting Snake, i got blisters on my palms, and fingers from that.
-
WCW Nitro for PSX and Killer Instict for SNES
Everyone teased me about it. :(
-
MGS, and Einhander
although DMC is getting a good run at it now :D

It\'s the same thing with Mario Party 1 for the N64. You have to rotate the analog stick as fast as you can for a lot of games. People started complaining about it, so Nintendo will send you a free glove if you ask (or somethnig like that).

ahaha, I had the same problem!! Damn ocelot, sometimes I\'d hit select so I could get the cloaking (sp?) thing so I could have mroe fun the 2nd time through
-
Tony Hawk for DC, the inset A on the controller imprinted a circle and an \'a\' on my thumb, painful!
Virtua Tennis - Same thing, more painful.
That Square fighting game, can\'t remember the name, but alot of tapping was involved and killed my fingers.

DOA2... That was the last and only time I\'ve gotten blisters.... Too much playing......!!! I played that game almost 5 hours a night.:laughing:
Now.... I hate that game.:yawn: :D I spent about 1 month on that game for nothing... I think I thought I was gonna see boobs...:D
-

THE most blister causing game was decathlon for atari

Don\'t really see how you could get blisters from playing Einhander; there\'s not really a lot of tapping buttons involved. I\'ve been revisiting the game lately so this just caught my attention, not ragging on your opinion or anything. :)
Anyway mine have to be Street Fighter II and Super Smash Bros. (The piece of crap Nintendo Joystick just destroys my fingers, they should have definitely gone with a padded design like on Sony\'s DS).
Honorable mention goes to Tekken.
-
Definently the Mario Party games, some of those caused SERIOUS blisters on my hands
-
Street Fighter III (1st strike) with max difficulty and max turbo on the Dreamcast standard D-Pad. Lets just say after a long week (4 intense hours of playing per night), I had a HUGE welt on my thumb. Now it is just callous.
-
Street Fighter 2 (any SNES version), Super Smash Brothers (finally got Ness last night), and Sin and Punishment (oh... my... g-d.)
-

hmmmm, i remember getting a hand workout from that title ;) maybe i just played it to death :laughing:
-
SSX
I played it a hell of a lot, plus the side of my finger always rubbed against the controller when i did grabs
-
I just thought of another, but it wasn\'t the game, it was the controller.
On the NES, I bought Robocop for about $2. I played that thing for days and days (just the other day, I started humming the music from that game and it took me hours to remember where the music came from :)). Unfortunately, that NES controller was crap and I had to press the d-pad really hard to make it work. So after playing it for a very long time, the end of my left them was really sore. I didn\'t want to stop playing though, so I used my first knuckle on my thumb instead of the end of it. To this day, I use my first knuckle to use the d-pad because of that one game. :) People call me wierd for doing it, but I still kick their butts in video games. He he he.

House of the dead 2
-
Mario Party 1 for the N64. I had set up a long run of spinning Mini-Games in the "Mini-Game Jukebox" (I\'m not sure what it\'s actually called; something like the "Mini-Game Crystal Ball") I actually peeled a bit of the skin off my right palm. This incident caused me to buy MP2.
-
Killer Instinct on the snes, put it max difficulty setting max speed and have a go at those 30+ hit combos. Its really painfull for your finger to do all the QCF, QCB or HCF motions and for you eyes to keep track of what is happening on screen
I honnestly dont understand whats so hard about the torture scene in MGS, I did it in one go! :)

I\'ve never played KI on a console, but I can see how it would hurt your hands, especially at a really fast speed. :)

I did it, and did it, and did it until I was eventually freed from the cell by the ninja. I didn\'t know you had to trick the guards to escape back then, so I just did it over and over. My arm was very tired, but my hands were fine. :)
-
lol ahhh lets see the most stress videogames has out on my finger would have to be
Tekken and Madden for PS2 on launch night
that night at work i had cut my thumb on my left hand - when i say cut i mean i got a knife and cut half of the tip off and had to go to the emergency room - well anyway needless to say it was so hard to play the PS2 but i was gonna be damned if i shelled out 500 bucks to watch my friends play :) - so anyway i had to learn to use the middle of my thumb and i find that i still use it out of old habit now - what really hurt is when i would accidently hit my chunk of skin out of place before it healed and bam it would hit my nerves and make me drop the comtroller out of pain
yea that was the worst for me :D
-
Gran Turismo, Gran Turismo 2, Gran Turismo 3. Tekken TAG Tournament. Killer Instinct and Mortal Combat. :D
-
I never ever had blisters. :)
But Mario Party did make my thumbs hurt.. But no blisters.
Bunch of wussies. :laughing:
-
the Track and Field games by Konami for sure
-
Hmmm. I have both console versions of the KI franchise, and found the flow of the game to put a certain ease in combo\'ing... However, I did think of two new highly intense titles, Star Fox SNES and Star Fox 64.
-
Cosmic Avenger for Colecovision. Back when I was 5, that was THE game!
Double Dragon for NES. Loved it.
Street Fighter II for SNES. Gave me a callous I still have next to my left thumbnail.
MGS. I actually got blood on my controller from the part with Ocelot. Ripped my knuckles right open.
TM:B, until I wised up and started playing with the geriatricly inclined controller I got for Christmas. I didn\'t like it until I started using it on a regular basis, now I love it.
BTW- Mej, love the sig. Jordan is one of my fav writers.
-
Have you guys ever played that summer olympic game that came out on dc last year. Now that game was pure button bashing, my hand got num after doing the 1500 m run
-
Oh my....had to be Mario Tennis 64.
-
Now CvsSNK2 is the game that hurts the most to play. After playing that game for hours and hours in the last two days, I can baraly even play anymore. It hurts way to bad.
-
Mike Tyson\'s Punch Out! Ha Ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Against sandman. Give it up for old school!(NES) for the young people in the forum.
Fianl Fantasy VII because I would play it for 5-6 hours and my fingers would cramp, now I will have arthritis, but I don\'t mind.
Better to be gaming than have a life.
-
The Wheel of Time books!
Yes, Jerginsoft, I\'ve read them so much, and at so many different angles, that my wrists used to cramp up! ;)
-
Masturbation 2: Back for More
had me up all night, and had blisters the whole next morning
but in actual fact, Street Fighter 2...because i played it the wrong way where i slid the end of my thumb on the pad to do a fireball, rather than twist the ball of your thumb...and it hurt :(
-
mine would have to be mario party the first one, and that damn game where you had to rotate the control stick around that made my palm hurt for days
