My favorite game is ' Life Force ' . I play two times a day which takes me about two hours be- cause I can easily beat it with or without a code. I also play it because I am usually depressed or mad about school and blasting and destroying things [in the game] make me feel better. It is also my favor- ite game because it makes the biggest explosions too, said Scott Iblings. My favorite game is ' Ice Hockey which I play with my brother for about an hour a day. I like this game because it ' s exciting and I always win, said Amie Rasking. I ' m bored of this game — Jeff Niema ejects R.C. ' Pro-Am ' and is ready to load Top Gun into his Nintendo which he had for about a year and a half now. One of his favorite game is ' Mike Ty- son ' s Punch Out ' . Seventh grade Faces 141

After coming home from school, hooking up the Nintendo or the Sega System and attempting to get a higher score than your recent high score on your favorite game is common to many seventh graders. But often you lose a life on the first level or you start off with not enough points to reach that certain level and reset the whole game over or maybe give your game system a little lickin . The Nintendo Entertainment System and the Sega Master System are some of the hottest items today. Such games as R.B.I. Baseball , Double Dragon , After Burner , Fantasy Zone 11 , Mario Bros. 11 , and Shinobi are some of the many games that can be played on these game systems. These games range from $25 to $50 and the systems range from $70 to $90. After I get home from school, I play my Nintendo for at least three hours and some- times don ' t get my homework done. And sometimes I play it so much that I get grounded off it for awhile. But I still play with it anyway, said Jason France. The Nintendo Entertainment System, which came onto the market before the Sega System, has extra equipment which one can buy such as the Nintendo Advantage which features rap- id fire and a slow button. One can also get the Nintendo Pow- er Set which comes with the Power Pad, a mat which one can run on and actually move the character in the games that have to do with running. The Sega Master System like the Nintendo Entertainment System comes with two control- lers and a base system but is unusual because it plays regular cartridges and small hard discs. When one buys a Sega System two games on one cartridge comes free with it, Hang On and Astro Warrior. Every weekend I go to my best friends house and play with his Sega System. My favorite game that he has is Alex Kid in Miracle World and Shinobi. I can get to the jungle level in Alex Kid in Miracle World, said Damien Rosen. My favorite game on the Sega System is Safari Hunt which I play so much that I get grounded for it. My high score so far on Safari Hunt is around 9000 points and I think the Sega System has much better graphics, said Megan Hickey. Bv Kotv Mukasa X 140 Seventh grade Faces
