Ever played a game so much it broke?

[Pheenic]

I'm really hoping I'm not the only one tbh. Me and my brother played Wind Waker so much as kids, we actually burned through 2-3 copies of the game.

I don't think I've broken any games as the way you described, but there is a HUGE black spot on my blue Gameboy Advance SP since my brother and I have had it for about a decade. We have both put a lot of use into it and I don't plan to ever get rid of it.

I don't think I ever broke a game, but a game broke me once. I was 12 and my cousin lent me her Pokemon game and I'd never played Pokemon before, so I got really into it, so much so that I played it non-stop for 3 days and ended up throwing up, so now I can't play Pokemon games anymore without feeling nauseous. 8)

I've actually had this problem. When I was little, my family and friends used to play a ton of Smash Bros Melee and Super Mario Strikers. We had to get replacements copies.

I'm not sure why it happen. It might have been because we left the discs in the console and moved it lot.

I played the scuba minigames in New Leaf so much that my A key became unresponsive, but I've never broken a game before.

I would say the Pokemon games since they end up in bad conditions, but thankfully they still work.

Oh and Smash Bros Wii U....why, I have no idea.

Between me and my son my first copy of Skyrim eventually just up and died from being played so much. Wasn't particularly scratched, no more than any other game, but it just wore out.

I don't see how you can wear out a disc from playing it too much. There's no moving parts to actually wear out and the lasers aren't powerful enough to cause damage. Writable discs maybe because that's slightly different, but not legit game discs that have been properly pressed and sold as a finished product.

The only real way to 'wear out' a disc is from not looking after it or faulty hardware.

The first one was kinda taken care of badly because well, we were kids, but we did play it a lot too and there was definitely something up with our gamecubes (we were spoiled kids >_<). The replacement discs we got used so they kinda broke down faster for us, but we did take care of those better. ^_^;

While the game itself didn't die, I did burn out a PS2 while playing Final Fantasy IX for the hundredth time.

I played the scuba minigames in New Leaf so much that my A key became unresponsive, but I've never broken a game before.

It's fishing that did my A button in to a point where it still works but barely. I can't beetle-farm because holding the button down to sneak with the net is nearly impossible, as the longest I've seen it last before releasing is maybe 5 seconds. Also, my circle pad's rubber came off, then all of the actual circle came off, leaving just the center where it's connected to the insides. Basically, I'm moving my character around with a stub, and I think the culprit for that is Pokemon X/Y.

If I played MK7 for as long as I've played ACNL, I think everything on my DS would be broken.

I believe once I've gotten some sort of spot (along with the usual scratches) on a disc of The Game of Life CD-ROM. I loved that game, because rarely would anyone take the time to set up the board and play with me. Sometimes, I'd have imaginary friends (which were really just original characters) be other players and I'd just move all the pieces. So that's how much I loved being able to play on the computer. I have no idea what happened to it. Most likely thrown out for not working anymore.

I've never broke a game from playing it too much. However, I used my DS Lite so much that the L button stopped responding, my left speaker doesn't work and my D pad is all loose and wobbly.

 

[Alienfish]

Yeah.. I broke my Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald, as in terms of the internal battery dies, but then they do after a couple of years if you use them a lot

 

[Trio4meo]

i remember i played this game called loco-rock it was so CUTE nd yh it broke

Yeah.. I think most of us broke consoles one way or the other. I remember the DS Lite consoles back in the day having really sensitive hinges that would snap easily, and the screen got bad easily.

My DSi has no longer any use for its trigger buttons.

I blame the Flipnotes I made in the Hatena years.

 

[DarkDesertFox]

Well, I played Sonic Battle a lot and smashed my Gameboy out of anger breaking both it and the game if that counts.

 

[Kuroh]

I've been playing Dreamcast games since I was like 3 and I've still played the them quite a bit over the years so a few of the discs are scratched really bad and they won't work anymore. Either that or they have issues like Sonic Adventure 2 Battle which replaces each sound effect with a horrible noise

Just over 10 years ago, my brothers and I wore out the laser head of the Playstation 2 we owned because we played on it so much, which meant it wouldn't ever play games again. After that, we didn't have a home console for about another year when our parents finally relented and bought another PS2 for Christmas.

Also played games on the PC which resulted in some keys either breaking off, or jamming whenever you try to press them. There were also several PSP 3000's that had their charger slot stop working. Had 3 of them which each would eventually no longer charge unless the cable went in at a specific angle. I'm absolutely positive that it was a flaw in their design, because the same happened to my brothers' 3000's the same, yet it never happened with the original or 2000.
