When I was younger
I was a very angry kid. One day I was playing Skooldaze 2 on my spectrum, using an old atari joystick (the square one with one red button on the side). I was further in the game than I had ever been, when the joystick started to fuck up. Eric was firing his catapult randomly and sitting down etc. so I was getting told off and ended up getting too many lines and losing the game. I was livid. Absolutely fuming. I ripped the joystick out and started smashing it on the floor. It was however, unyielding as it had a rather thick plastic case. So i took the fucker outside onto the patio and tried to release all my rage by swinging it over my head as hard as I could and hopefully smashing it to tiny pieces. It hit the patio and bounced straight back and hit me square in the forehead. I nearly passed out. So did my brothers who were watching, but that was through laughter.

School Daze 2!
I fucking loved that game! Not got the slightest clue what it was all about now, though. I've just been and looked at a YouTube clip of it and I'm still none the wiser! What was the point of it?

Oh, and *click* for the story.

You had to
hit all the shields with your catapult, collect the letters the teachers gave out and get the combination for the safe. Was my favorite game ever, closely followed by GTA San Andreas.

Wow,
I remember playing it every day and really getting into it but I literally have no memory of all of that.

Ah the Speccy™
I had a mate who regularly threw his at the wall in similar rage episodes.
He would spend ages taping the case back together only to smash it again a few days later.
