Me and a friend were both computer mad as kids, both getting Amiga A500's when they came out
Age around 13, I frequently went round to his place for all night 2 player games (Great Giana Sisters, Populous 2, Cannon Fodder, and the mighty Turrican 2).

His parents were regular church goers, my family not so much. After spending the night there, high as kites off the riduculous amount of sweets and pop we'd consumed, we both crashed out around 5 or 6. An hour or so later his mum and woke him up - Church time! I was excused as a visiting heathen, and went back to sleep.

Woke up again a few hours laters when the family were back, his mum furious, dad in giggles, and my friend red faced. Getting to church a bit early, his family sat on the front pew. part way into the service, my friend, somewhat sleep deprived, fell asleep. And started snoring. Luckily someone noticed, unfortunately it was the vicar, who apparently looked none-too pleased.

I was very sympathetic when he told me, and fell of my chair laughing

Cannon Fodder, Populus 2 and Turrican 2 were all single player
great games though.

We played 'em tag team stylee; the non player giving either advice
or merciless ribbing when the player messed up :D

Certainly were great games.
