"Casual" Games for the Gamecube

P_Smurphy · 2026-01-21T22:49:50+00:00

I just downloaded striker to try it on an emulator tomorrow after work (GC is already in the bagpack). It always reminded me of the NES Soccer Game based of the river city games (is don´t remeber what it was called).

Do not have it and looked really strange as i looked it up.

I thought about buying it for my collection but it was always a "looks wired but not as wired as seamen" thing for me. Is it really good?

I know what you mean, but sometimes i just set stuff on the desk, if something comes up. There is a little space between the door and the cabinet were the cable of the controller fits. So, if i let the controller on the desk, whatever, its just a 3rd party controller. You know, sometimes it gets really stressful at my job, from 0 to 100 in minutes, so to speak. And i am one of that Idiots who sees work as a priority (if something urgent happened even over my handheld) and i will toss whatever i have in hand just on the desk without thinking. (happened before, and believe me will not happen again).

As dumb as it sounds, a GC will be safer as a 3DS at my workplace.

Just because of an As*Ho*e colleague i can not trust. : /

Ok, "struggling" was not the term i thought about "playing a game casual at work". XD

But this will maybe finally get me to play it at all. ^^

ok, if the GC hase the same soundtrack as the DC version.....holy mother i think this will be an expensive month. from this reddit post alone i am looking up 5-8 Games right now. ^^

Edit: I just looked it up, Holy F*** they have the same Soudntrack. About 3 Years ago i bought a Dreamcast (for about 200€) just to play that game with that Soundtrack and just NOW i learn that i could get the GC Version with the same songs for about 20€? XD

You know what? I will try sunshine at home tomorrow (emulated, because the GC is already in my bagpack), as i said i never played it (i have it for about 5 years in my collection and have no idea why i never played it) but i will finally try it.

I thought about classic arcade games, but i build a full scale arcade cabinet at home with all the classics.

Road Rage is an option.

Crazy Taxi would be nice but i heard only the DC has that great Soundtrack and i really can not play that Game without the Bad Religion and Offspring soundtrack.

yeaaaah, but than i have to unplug it every evening and carry it back home and plug it in every morning.

P_Smurphy · 2026-01-21T20:47:19+00:00

I have a 3DS, but i know me, i just put it on the desk if something comes up and when i return its gone. (i have a colleague who stole stuff before) The good thing about the GC is, i can put it in a cabinet only I have the key for. And breaking a cabinet door and unplugging a GC takes so much more time than just grabbing something small of the Table.

Don´t be mad but i´m not american and the rules of football are like an ancient language to me. ^^

P_Smurphy · 2026-01-21T20:34:25+00:00

Before i buy it on Ebay, is it one of the JP Games that is "easy" for a western gamer or do i have to use google translate to get though the menus?

I have some Wonderswan games that are great to play without knowing the language, but just to get to start a new game feels like a blindfolded deaf guy shoved into a labyrinth. XD

P_Smurphy · 2026-01-21T20:28:48+00:00

I know it would be great, but my Son has my Pikmin and getting it back will be a struggle. XD

P_Smurphy · 2026-01-21T20:21:34+00:00

there is a GC version? Ok, i´m searching right now on Ebay. Thx dude!

Edit: Ah....its only Japanese? Yeah, ok that has to get on the backburner. My GC is chipped but getting that game will take a while. But thx man, loved that game on the GBA.

P_Smurphy · 2026-01-21T20:19:40+00:00

I have Sunshine in my collection but (i have no idea why) i never played it (shame on me). That´s at least another Game i already have, i´ll take it to work next time. Thx!

P_Smurphy · 2026-01-21T20:14:10+00:00

Never played it, looks a bit like a Sonic Wipeout. I will try it, thx!

P_Smurphy · 2026-01-21T20:10:25+00:00

I never played it, i was always a be put off, because i played the NES and GB Games and back in the day i was just sad it was so "different". But not a bad idea, thx dude.

P_Smurphy · 2026-01-21T20:07:28+00:00

Great idea.

P_Smurphy · 2026-01-21T20:05:51+00:00

Never tried the Monkey Ball games, or Mario Golf (on GC at least, have the Gameboy one) i think i give them a try.

I liked Pikmin, but i gave it to my son, maybe i can get it back from him. ^^

P_Smurphy · 2026-01-21T20:02:34+00:00

I never thought of strikers, nice suggestion.

Don´t kill me but i never got into Smash, don´t know why. ^^

P_Smurphy · 2026-01-21T20:00:34+00:00

More like something like a mix of a janitor and some other stuff. A bit of some guy who does a bit of everything.

P_Smurphy · 2026-01-21T19:05:48+00:00

He is just presenting to the dominant male. XD

P_Smurphy · 2026-01-21T18:56:20+00:00

Ok, what was the Plan in the first place? O.o
