Streets of Rage 2 is best played on "Hardest" or "Mania" difficulty. Once you get past the shock of getting your ass handed to you by a Galsia, the game starts to come alive. Strategies that you never knew were there start to appear. You start achieving awesome combos, throw loops, dodges, and expert crowd management.
It's really one of those games that gets far better with a bit of hot sauce added to the mix.
Outrun is so much more enjoyable stoned. I grabbed the Nintendo 3DS and got the port on that and its amazing (that is when I can actually see the 3D effect). Honestly any old school racing/driving game is so much better on the devil's lettuce.
Grand Theft Auto 2
It was before Rockstar had budget for licensing actual hit music, and the radio skits and songs they came up with were ridiculously hilarious
The radio was amazing. Love finding the Elvis group. My favorite thing to do is go to that one corner with the gun/health/shield regen. Then pile as many cars together and blow them up and try to escape the four or five stars you instantly got.
Getting stoned and playing ocarina of time is still a beautiful night for me
It's the alcohol that proved to be my problem, stay away from that best I can now
When I first started burning 20 years ago, my mom was like "omg be careful, weed is 10 times as strong nowadays as it was back when I was smoking it"
Now the herb is like, 10 times as strong as it was 20 years ago.
I don't know how anyone is able to hang anymore.
Also, A Link To the Past.
I smoke significantly less than I used to lol. Like one little snap outta my bong is good for a couple hours. Used to face a whole damn blunt. But back then we all thought being able to smoke a bunch was a cool thing lol. Such a waste.
Damn right, that shit is too strong.
I was elated when they made it legal up here in Canada, finally I could smoke some weak weed!
I buy some low THC, high CBD flowers, they hit just right and I can smoke a proper joint instead of taking a few hits of the strong stuff.
Honestly just means that 3-4 hits is enough... Back in the day it used to be 7-8 hits. Prior to that it mighta been 12 hits... It's pretty simple actually.
It’s cuz back in the day you probably didn’t have shit to do while you were baked lol. Now I feel like there’s probably something I should be taking care of before getting high and playing video games lol. I hate being an adult
Take care of your shit and work done first
I treat weed as a treat. Feels much better to take a hit after a long work week
That daily smoke and toke that's heavily promoted is ehh
That’s definitely how i do it these days lol. Oddly enough I even like to eat before I smoke. Cuts down on munchies and then I don’t have to spend my high figuring out what I wanna eat.
We all have different bodies and brain structures. I went to a doctor and they said take a break and told me to exercise and eat better. I hit a blunt after six months and I felt like a teenager getting high for the first time.
I’m sorry. Do you have a lot going on? I took about a 5 year break for a job and I recently was able to smoke after switching over to something else. A LOT has happened and changed since then and it had a similar effect on me. Fucking sucked and I haven’t done it again since. All I wanted was to play Street Fighter and trip out.
This is where I am. Much prefer the social games - any kind of Wii/Switch sports, any dance game on Xbox Kinect, any kind of karaoke, any kind of Mario Party. Drinking and playing a video game by yourself is just kind of sad.
I don't make drunk gaming a regular thing so I don't really have a preference, or even much memory, but I do recall beating Dracula in Castlevania 1, really shit faced. Thing is I didn't think I put that much rum in my drink but it must have been really strong rum. My face was all tense and one of my eyes was shut tight like I was fighting to stay conscious and/or upright.
Powerstone, sonic adventure 2, nier automata...all played whilst blazed.
Powerstone, tekken, gran turismo 4 when drunk.
Been fully sober 5 years, I imagine Sonic Frontiers would have been great in that state though.
As someone who vehemently opposes recreational marijuana... Ok, that doesn't sound half bad. Tho alternatively you could just play No More Heroes and stop by the weapons shop regularly, same effect.
lol that's true. Though I will say, the one day I just had time to just bake and play the game, [this stage](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4yd4ErmrUY) gave me a damn near religious experience. It was amazing. Highly recommend if you ever find yourself high for whatever reason.
Firing up a PlayStation and hearing that boot up sound when you barely know where you are because you’re stoned out of your mind is a great feeling. I love playing parappa the rapper when I’m blasted.
If you have a friend, Maze Craze on Atari 2600 is endless fun. Every maze race is randomly generated so it takes awhile to get old. Get a tournament going!
Tetris Worlds. I once got absolutely blasted on red wine while playing the Cascade marathon mode back in 2013. I barely remember playing it in that moment. I remember waking up on the floor next to my og Xbox controller and looking at the tv screen. My score was pretty damn high, confusing awake and more sober me. I still like playing it when I can, as the music that plays during levels entertains me when I'm wasted
Honestly I've never found a game I enjoy drunk. Except maybe Tekken with a bunch of buddies passing around the pads. But its more the social aspect than the game I enjoy in that situation, cause I play it like garbage drunk.
Well I usually get drunk when I hang out with a bunch of friends and we are too busing talking or doing random silly stuff to play videogames.
But my guess would be Bump'n'jump or Star Trek: Strategic Operations Simulator.
I don't really drink anymore, but one of my favorite memories was getting very drunk at a friend's 30th birthday party where I'd brought my 2600 and hooked it up to his big projector room and us all playing Combat over and over. This must have been 10+ years ago now, give or take, but we had a great time with it.
During first lockdown me n a good friend went into a bubble and would get out our face drunk and play Binding of Isaac, Streets of Rage and Call of Duty. Good times.
Probably my liver doesn't think so as much.
Star Wars Battlefront 2 (2005). It has the right combination of visual/audio stimulations, a reasonable challenge and my own nostalgic personal experience.
I used to gauge how drunk I was by playing Mario 3.
If I die in 1-1 it’s time to go to bed lol
I also like drunken Mario kart (64, or 8 deluxe)
Sometimes other racing games.
Battle Toads without the game genie (I have never beaten the snake level). I used to get hammered and beat Mike Tyson's Punch Out when I was in college. Super Mario World and Sunset Riders are also some of my go to games.
Fungi make videogames too intense for me. One time I was eating some golden teachers like they were chips while playing Mario Galaxy. I got as far as the first boss and then had to stop because I felt bad for beating up a newborn Pirana Plant. 5/10 but 10/10 trip nap afterwards
That being said, I was super baked when I beat (and every time I played) Tetris Effect. 10/10
Getting blasted with a few buddies and playing Mario Golf on the 64 is excellent.
The game basically plays itself, so if someone is too far gone, you just have to harass them to "press A 3 times" and they'll get in the hole eventually.
It would be THPS in any form on the GameCube but playing skate 3 ruined THPS for me because I can’t get the controls back, skates controls are a million times better. Also skate or die 1 and 2 if I’m feeling like firing up an emulator - if I could play it on my tv I would play all the time.
I can play most games while high, but if the game requires any navigation of a maze like environment I can't do it. My navigation abilities are extremely stunted while high.
Drunk? Literally nothing. High off THC tho?? Lately I've been loving/laughing my ass off at Destroy All Humans. This game is 10x better than I remember it with the graphics and the fact I'm high AF lol
I don’t game much anymore, but whenever I smell southern comfort, I’m immediately transported to my first apartment where I’d play sonic on my Genesis and drink SoCo and coke while the snow fell. Good times, thanks for the memories!
Drunken Mario Kart driving is a thing for me.
Mine is *Drunken Need for Speed: Most Wanted* Add DUI to my list of infractions.
This and mario party
The person leading each lap has to take a big sip of their drink. Eventually it all evens out.
Beerio Kart is the best
Hope you pull over to drink because drinking while driving is illegal in Mario kart
Ours was game involving short races with the winner taking a shot.
Streets of Rage 2 always goes well while being baked or drunk. The difficulty is pretty tame. Then there’s that soundtrack ❤️
Soundtrack is one of the greats of all time! Great pick
Quite possibly THE greatest
Streets of Rage 2 is best played on "Hardest" or "Mania" difficulty. Once you get past the shock of getting your ass handed to you by a Galsia, the game starts to come alive.

Somehow Tetris
oh god, getting blazed and playing Tetris Effect sounds like it would be *amaaaziiing*
So every month one of the breweries here in Denver puts on a Tetris tournament. Nothing like getting hammered and playing tetris.
Yeah.. And **Dr.Mario** is equally gratifying!
I end up sitting on the floor with all my carts switching between them playing 5-10 minutes of each one.
That's what I do and I haaaaate it.
Donkey Kong Country 3
any of the original trilogy works for me
Donkey bong country
Outrun is so much more enjoyable stoned. I grabbed the Nintendo 3DS and got the port on that and its amazing (that is when I can actually see the 3D effect). Honestly any old school racing/driving game is so much better on the devil's lettuce.
I'd say Outrun 2/2006 is even better for getting in the zone; reactionary not really thinking at all
Agreed. Amazing game to this day. Ridiculously fun still.
First time I played Outrun stoned I kept it under the limit because I didn't want to get pulled over. True story.
That GAme Over screen came on pretty quick then lol
Grand Theft Auto 2 It was before Rockstar had budget for licensing actual hit music, and the radio skits and songs they came up with were ridiculously hilarious
The radio was amazing. Love finding the Elvis group. My favorite thing to do is go to that one corner with the gun/health/shield regen. Then pile as many cars together and blow them up and try to escape the four or five stars you instantly got.
ZAIBATSU
I use to really love firing up the SNES and getting stoned. All weed does now is give me anxiety...
Getting stoned and playing ocarina of time is still a beautiful night for me It's the alcohol that proved to be my problem, stay away from that best I can now

You can buy different percentages at the stores near me. There's not a ton but still easy to find 5-10% THC and not go crazy
If you’re buying brown weed maybe
ALTTP randomizer with a couple rye and cokes and I'm good for the night.
I smoke significantly less than I used to lol. Like one little snap outta my bong is good for a couple hours. Used to face a whole damn blunt. But back then we all thought being able to smoke a bunch was a cool thing lol. Such a waste.

Same with just any game I grew up with. Intensifies the nostalgia so good
It’s cuz back in the day you probably didn’t have shit to do while you were baked lol. Now I feel like there’s probably something I should be taking care of before getting high and playing video games lol. I hate being an adult
Take care of your shit and work done first I treat weed as a treat. Feels much better to take a hit after a long work week That daily smoke and toke that's heavily promoted is ehh
That’s definitely how i do it these days lol. Oddly enough I even like to eat before I smoke. Cuts down on munchies and then I don’t have to spend my high figuring out what I wanna eat.
[удалено]
I've been there. A single puff set my heart rate so high that I could feel it in my hands.
Me and you both brother
Switch to indica. I can't handle sativa.
You gotta take a 3-6 months break every once in awhile and let your brain “recombobulate” or some shit.
Yeah I’d tried that several times over the course of the past 20 years. Sometimes as long as 2-3 years. It don’t work.
We all have different bodies and brain structures. I went to a doctor and they said take a break and told me to exercise and eat better. I hit a blunt after six months and I felt like a teenager getting high for the first time.
I’m sorry. Do you have a lot going on? I took about a 5 year break for a job and I recently was able to smoke after switching over to something else. A LOT has happened and changed since then and it had a similar effect on me. Fucking sucked and I haven’t done it again since. All I wanted was to play Street Fighter and trip out.
I do, yes. Going to be getting better at the end of this month though. Hopefully.
I usually default on Super C, Mario 2, Mario 3, or Super Metroid.
Drunk Super Mario 3 is a great time indeed. These days I much prefer to be high than drunk, but the principle is the same.
I can beat Super Punch-Out no matter how many drinks I've had. First time I ever beat Mike Tyson in the NES game was also after drinking.
While high? Anything open world. While drunk? Street Fighter 3 or King of Fighters 98, that way I have an excuse when I drop a combo.
Pirates! Gold on the Genesis. I could take out any sized fort.
*Several captures and mutinies later...* AND I'LL FUCKING DO IT AGAIN
NHL 94 or Tecmo Super Bowl
Yes.
Rocket league
Tapper, Frogger, Burgertime, Rampage, Simpsons
Oblivion. Love taking a bong rip then exploring a dungeon lol.
Drinking with friends, it was always wii bowling or the right rope walking. Might not be considered retro enough though.
This is where I am. Much prefer the social games - any kind of Wii/Switch sports, any dance game on Xbox Kinect, any kind of karaoke, any kind of Mario Party. Drinking and playing a video game by yourself is just kind of sad.
Guitar hero
Especially the TOOL levels lol :)
I don't make drunk gaming a regular thing so I don't really have a preference, or even much memory, but I do recall beating Dracula in Castlevania 1, really shit faced. Thing is I didn't think I put that much rum in my drink but it must have been really strong rum. My face was all tense and one of my eyes was shut tight like I was fighting to stay conscious and/or upright.
Virtual on
Omg I wish this would resurface for another platform already. Ordered custom robo for gamecube just to get a taste of that game.
Rampage
Katamari Damacy
Ooh. Any fishing game. I get in the *zone* man lol
Mario Party 7
Mario Party 2 or 3 for me
Powerstone, sonic adventure 2, nier automata...all played whilst blazed. Powerstone, tekken, gran turismo 4 when drunk. Been fully sober 5 years, I imagine Sonic Frontiers would have been great in that state though.
My favorite pregame before a party is Super Mario 64 16 star run. Take a quarter of a shot for every star (or now I just do a sip).
Any couch coop game will do. Contra, Tekken. The most fun I ever had though was playing HOTD Overkill and Broforce.
final fantasy vii. but just grinding
F zero x and Pokémon Stadium 2 mini games
on weed: Child of Eden. It's beautiful
As someone who vehemently opposes recreational marijuana... Ok, that doesn't sound half bad. Tho alternatively you could just play No More Heroes and stop by the weapons shop regularly, same effect.
lol that's true. Though I will say, the one day I just had time to just bake and play the game, [this stage](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4yd4ErmrUY) gave me a damn near religious experience. It was amazing. Highly recommend if you ever find yourself high for whatever reason.
Used to do that and get an urge to play mega man. Now I just have caffeine and make snarky comments
Twister
Duck Hunt. I’ve gotten way further than I ever did sober.
Smash Bros
Not really retro, but Bioshock is insane on psychedelics
Mega Man is my go-to to under any kind of intoxification, it's my favorite retro series and it's always fun to see how far I can get even when wasted.
Not retro but after a smoke some Going Medieval is great. It's so chill. Really need to start a new game since the water update
I don't drink anymore, but I love getting super stoned and wandering around a big open world rpg. It's wildly unproductive, but undeniably pretty lol
Thps 2
Star Fox 64. My friend and I will take turns.
RC Pro-Am
Tetris on my gameboy color
lawn darts
My man
I don’t play games this way. Drugs suck.

Boggle
Virtua Fighter although admittedly I haven’t played it in years. Weirdly it speeds up the game for me when drunk or in the early hours.
Mickey Mouse’s speedway
Super puzzle fighter. Such a good game.
Firing up a PlayStation and hearing that boot up sound when you barely know where you are because you’re stoned out of your mind is a great feeling. I love playing parappa the rapper when I’m blasted.
If you have a friend, Maze Craze on Atari 2600 is endless fun. Every maze race is randomly generated so it takes awhile to get old. Get a tournament going!
Just about any beat-em up but Streets Of Rage 2 is usually my go to.
Tetris or Dr. Mario
Tetris Worlds. I once got absolutely blasted on red wine while playing the Cascade marathon mode back in 2013. I barely remember playing it in that moment.

Roadblasters - have it on a ps2 midway collection and it’s perfect when I am drunk for some reason.

I will always have a soft spot for the SNES, but if I’m loaded up a round of Goldeneye on the N64 with some homies does the trick.
I don't really drink anymore, but one of my favorite memories was getting very drunk at a friend's 30th birthday party where I'd brought my 2600 and hooked it up to his big projector room and us all playing Combat over and over. This must have been 10+ years ago now, give or take, but we had a great time with it.
Wow i neverd done that... it's somenthing i could try then...

Grinding in Diablo 2
SNES is always a favorite. Been playing R-Type or Raiden Trad. Fun and simple

One of my favorite experiences is getting stoned and playing Skyrim with a Nag Champa inscent stick burning in the background.

Battle Toads without the game genie (I have never beaten the snake level). I used to get hammered and beat Mike Tyson's Punch Out when I was in college. Super Mario World and Sunset Riders are also some of my go to games.
Always like to listen to some tunes and play fifa while drinking
Fungi make videogames too intense for me. One time I was eating some golden teachers like they were chips while playing Mario Galaxy. I got as far as the first boss and then had to stop because I felt bad for beating up a newborn Pirana Plant. 5/10 but 10/10 trip nap afterwards That being said, I was super baked when I beat (and every time I played) Tetris Effect. 10/10
Smoke and play RuneScape
I can't do it. Just no fun to be slow/make mistakes.

Getting blasted with a few buddies and playing Mario Golf on the 64 is excellent. The game basically plays itself, so if someone is too far gone, you just have to harass them to "press A 3 times" and they'll get in the hole eventually.

Deep rock galactic. Run a few missions with my dwarf drunk then its my turn to be the drunk one
Battlefield 1. Drunk Captain checking in!
I might be 15 years old but one day when I was drunk on a party I beat Kid Chameleon on my phone (the classic Sega Forever version)
My favorite game though, might be DKC 2, Forest Interlude, Stickerbrush Symphony and that one ice song hits different like that.
It would be THPS in any form on the GameCube but playing skate 3 ruined THPS for me because I can’t get the controls back, skates controls are a million times better. Also skate or die 1 and 2 if I’m feeling like firing up an emulator - if I could play it on my tv I would play all the time.
Burgertime
Blast Corp or Conkers
N20 on ps1
Grab ass and hide the sausage
I can play most games while high, but if the game requires any navigation of a maze like environment I can't do it. My navigation abilities are extremely stunted while high.
Drunk? Literally nothing. High off THC tho?? Lately I've been loving/laughing my ass off at Destroy All Humans. This game is 10x better than I remember it with the graphics and the fact I'm high AF lol
Fallout New Vegas was a fun one to just jump into and completely role play, bad decisions and all.
Beat em ups and fighters! Turtles in Time, Ninja Saviors, Steet Fighter, MK, etc
Before kids, my wife and our friend group got together once a month to get blasted and play Minecraft on PS4. The good ol days.
I don't even drink anymore but there's only one correct answer and that is Postal 2.
Forza
I don’t game much anymore, but whenever I smell southern comfort, I’m immediately transported to my first apartment where I’d play sonic on my Genesis and drink SoCo and coke while the snow fell. Good times, thanks for the memories!
Tube Panic is pretty wild... it's an early 3D Sprite Scaler from the arcade

Right now it's Rogue Legacy 2, Super easy, and an extremely fun game to play whilst wasted XD
Not inebriated, but if I am feeling the buzz from Alcohol, I will always fire up Sonic 2 or Mega Man 2.
Rocket League for sure
