This is a cry for help, I fear for my sanity and I really need to know if anyone else does this. I am addicted to playing simple, simple games and then making up stories around them as I play.
Mac Brickout (similar to Breakout, but for people with nicer computers -ha!) becomes less a bouncing ball game and more an epic Lord Of The Rings style quest, each level containing a new race of people or creatures, with treasure to be found and skills to be traded. I have traced a whole town under the blank grey squares of the expert level of Minesweeper. I know where the presidential palace is, I know where the suburban homes are and where the trendy cafes are. I imagine what the newspapers will say to each new cleared area. (These newspapers, one each for the varying political factions, are written and produced near the river on the mid-right side of the game, the waste from the paper mills pollutes the river, ruining the drinking water in the slum area, bottom right corner.)
I talk to the snake on my phone too.
I have to, he needs the encouragement. He’s participating in some kind of Acrobatic Snake Crufts. Tetris is saving the lost city of Atlantis, Solitare a desperate bid to gamble enough money to get out of this seedy town and back to the farm.
Please, does anyone else do this?

Best post ever!
I want to see more of this city underminesweeper. Remember, there’s loads of money in turning computer games to films. What is the plot of Space Cadet 3D Pinball btw (not on a Mac I guess…)
What is the plot of Hearts?
when you play hearts vs the computer the opponents are given names like Bob and Alice etc – they are actually swingers trying to lure you into their shadowy twilight world!!!1!

“This disaster (for pinball fans) is called OSX. … now that Macs became “Intel Inside” classic compatibility was dropped. With the disappearance of Classic most Mac pinballs are dead. ” etc
