What is the most Blister-causing game you\'ve ever played?
« on: October 22, 2001, 12:28:02 PM »
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.

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).

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.

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.

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.
