30 mins or less, what's your game of choice?

[Karnik]

For hit-and-run games, or during the lunch break at work, I play some puzzle games on my tiny keypad Nokia phone: Diamond Twister 2, Jewel Quest 3, Treasures of Montezuma 3, Zuma Returns, Bejeweled Twist, Bubble Bash Mania, Abracadaball, Block Breaker Deluxe and the like.

Chelnov or Puyo Puyo Tsuu on Mega Drive

I have more, but these are a few that came to mind.

MGS4, I've been stuck on the same cutscene for YEARS.

 

[RebelofDaNeonGod]

Any and every shmup, almost all of them can be played all the way through in 30 minutes or less, making them the perfect quick play for any day.

- Sonic the hedgehog 2
- Sonic Spinball
- Hotline Miami
- Kamen Rider Agito

 

[Dyne]

Contra
Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!
DonPachi
Horizon Chase Turbo

Okay, realistically the answer is I spend 30 min picking a game and then realize I'm out of time

 

[Virtuafighter]

Virtua Fighter 5
WWE Smackdown: Here Comes the Pain
NBA Street Vol. 2
Mario Kart: Double Dash
Pro Evolution Soccer 5

Arcade style games on Steam:
- Luftrausers
- Shatter
- qrth-phyl (snake but in 3D)
- Hoppy Hop (Q-Bert clone)
- Pac-Man CE DX
- Geometry Wars 3
- Nex Machina

 

[SkoomaCatJesus]

- Hotline Miami

Hotline Miami is such a banger of a good time. Smash T.V. (on the SNES) hits that vibe sooo good.

 

[Doomstruck]

Lately for me it's been opening spark the electric jester 3 and either speeding through one of my favorite levels or going into the endless arena mode for some combat, but now that there's a beta for workshop support on echo point nova that's starting to make it into my rotation.

 

[Skeetos]

Something immediately gratifying. Like a quick game of Unreal Tournament or King of Fighters. Or whatever handheld game i have access to. Something like Sonic Advance or Mega Man Zero.
