Playing Nintendo get's you in trouble.
Sent in by John
Since 1989 I have owned all the Nintendo Systems, (except Game Boy
and Virtual Boy) and you would not believe all the controllers I have
broken. I must have been through 8 NES Controllers, 5 Super NES Controllers,
and about 10 N64 controllers, and all these controller smashings damaged
my house in some way. But the worst was in about 1990. I was playing
"Wrath of The Black Manta" and I made it to El Toro. I couldn't figure out
how to defeat him, I spent hours upon hours trying to figure it out but
I couldn't seem to do it. Eventually I became so frustrated I ripped
my Nintendo controller out of the socket and threw it right out my
window! It shattered the window, but that isn't all. After it went out
the window it hit my Parents Car, leaving a huge dent and a shattered
window in it's wrath. When my fuming Dad entered the room I knew I
was dead.

I got the Pokemon red version when it just came out as a gift, and my
friend had the blue version. He was a lot further ahead than me, so I
struggled daily to beat him. In the process, I ended up staying up as late
as 3 AM in the morning on a school night. my mom got majorly mad and
confiscated my Game Boy. Later that night I snuck into my mom's room
to find my Game Boy, and I knocked over my dad's set of golf clubs,
setting off a tremendous crash as it punched out the screen door and
rolled out the window and off of the balcony. My dog started to bark
and howl, my 2 year old sister started to cry, and worst of all, the
security alarm went off. I was grounded for a month and my Game Boy
was permanently destroyed by my dad, and I had to pay nearly $350
for some of the golf clubs that I destroyed.

In 1992 I got the Super NES for Christmas. I had so much fun playing it
and so did my mom some times, but she was getting a little worried
about how long I was playing it. She told me that if I did not slow down
on how much I was playing she would throw it out. I tried to slow down
but it was hard. She finally said that it was going the next day. I begged
for another chance and she said maybe. At night my parents argued about
it and finally they let me have another chance.

Once I was playing WCW/NWO Revenge. My mom told me that I could only
play one more game for the week and then I was grounded for the rest of
the nine weeks in school because I had bad grades. So, I'm going along
playing the World Heavyweight Championship with Flair on Hard (not
really Flair, just Fit Finlay dressed up as Flair and changing his name
to Flair because Flair's not in the game) and I'm on the last guy. It took
me forever to get there because I'm not that great on the Hard setting
and my opponent was always reversing my moves. Mom was continually
saying "Aren't you done yet?" throughout the hour and a half I was playing
the Championship. Anyway, I'm on the last guy and BOOM the game
freezes as I was doing my special!!! What was up with that? So, since
I had to turn off the game, I couldn't play again for nine more weeks.

This was back in the days of Super Mario 3 for the NES. I was playing
through it (I was taking the fast way-flutes), all the way to Bowser's
Castle. I made it inside the castle, all the way to Bowser himself. I
had to pause the game to go to the bathroom. When I got back, the game
was frozen and wouldn't unpause!!! I was so frustrated, since I haven't
beaten it yet! So I started over and played through again. This time, I had
made him fall through, and I slipped on the Pause button while celebrating!!!!!!!
AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!
I was so mad, I threw the controller into the TV, which in return, got
me grounded for a month. I wasn't able to play again till about a month
later, and I beat it then, but I was so freaking mad at that moment, I
cried straight through that month!

I was playing Game Boy while I was walking around with my mom. Well
after a while, I looked up and realized that I had followed the wrong
person around by mistake, and all because of my Game Boy! I was so
embarrassed. Worse yet, when I finally found my mom, she grounded
me of Game Boy, TV, and Sega, for several weeks!
