Poll: Ever play Two games at once?

[Plurralbles]

Today I found myself playing final fantasy while I was walking my horse to the next colossi in Shadow of the Colossus. Do you ever multi-game? I find that it makes both more interesting and everything a tad bit more involved. Holding that ps2 pad while hitting attack is pretty entertaining. Or doing the actual battle in SOTC while coming back to FF to hit the a button to cycle through a cutscene. I'll also do it with games with long load times as well, which is probably the more common case if you do at all.

I have done this before actually. Can't say I remember what games it involved, but there was a time when I had two TVs in my room.

 

[Goombadude3]

I do this if im playing MW2 and i die in S&D, pull out my ds with pokemon and play.

 

[thepopeofatheism]

I do it all the time. Especially when I'm playing an SRPG on a handheld and a slightly more involved game on my TV.

This generally involves switching back and forth between the two when each game has a moment of downtime or non-interactivity.

All the time

Last night I was playing the MGS: Peace Walker demo alone with two PSPs.

It didn't end well.

I've played my DS during the "hurry up and wait" sections of some PC games.

Probably, but I can't remember any specific times.

Alternately, though, me and my friend once played Kingdom Hearts with me using the left side and him using the right (i.e. I controlled Sora's movement, he dealt with attacks and the like). It actually made the game a lot more fun, oddly enough, as it essentially turned it into a co-op game where you had to be fully in tune with your teammate.

Actually I do 3 at once, plus watch TV. I play my xbox on my TV, with a PiP playing the video and sound for cable channels, a non-maximized window game on the computer, with a game of online chess to top it off.

yeah, right now I am occupied with..
FF13, SMT:Strange Journey(well tomorrow anyway), SSX Tricky, Castlevania 1 and 3(3 is pissing me off, I AM AT DRAC AND HE WONT STAY DEAD!) and I will toss in a random snes/nes/genesis/gb/gbc/gba game every now and then

EDIT: ah i seem to have misread your title, those are examples of games I work on at the same time. not at once.

I have played 2 games at once before and it was difficult, megaman x1 and kingdom hearts. and if tag teaming a game counts me and my friends have played mario sunshine by switching off after 2 shines and we each had a side game we were playing at the same time.

 

[Tharwen]

No, unless you count iPhone games and Rubik's cubes during loading screens and cutscenes as gaming.

And during flight paths in WoW.

 

[ethaninja]

Since I got my new Quad Core, I've been playing two games at once sometimes. For eg: the other day I wasp laying Mount&Blade and Evochron Legends at the same time. Was pretty fun =)

 

[Stormz]

I don't think I've ever done this before with two singleplayers. But if I'm doing something boring in an MMO I might bring out my PSP or DS.

 

[jubosu]

I used to play team fortress 2 while in a flightpath in world of warcraft

 

[Infinatex]

I do this if im playing MW2 and i die in S&D, pull out my ds with pokemon and play.

Yeah I'll play Diablo in between getting killed in SnD

 

[Shepard's Shadow]

Yes. I use to play a game on my N64 and play Pokemon Silver on my Gameboy Color, at the same time. It ensured I never got bored.
