What if you want to play a video game, but can't because you don't have any, or your parents say you can't play them, or your school doesn't allow it? What if you want play a game in school, in the car or anywhere and your Game Boy is dead? What if your parents are using the TV? Well then, why not play video games when you can make them on paper!
Steps
Creating Your Own Characters
Get a blank piece of paper. It is recommended that you use graph paper, but any paper will do.
Draw some sort of monster on it, but don't fill up the page. It is highly recommended to use a pencil so you can erase when he gets hurt. If you have a pen, that is fine.
Give the monster a name and a health bar.
Draw one or two smaller characters. You can make them up yourself.
Give your character(s) a name and some health bars. Write a 100 above each health bar.
Draw a magic bar or a power bar or whatever you feel like.
Think up some attacks for your characters, and a few for the boss too. They should do varying amounts of damage.The strong ones use magic.
Have one of your characters attack. Subtract the attack value from the enemy when attacked.
Have the characters take turns attacking. You can play with your characters on the same team, or you can have all three go at it.
Once the boss is down to zero health, you have advanced to Level 2. Reward yourself by unlocking something like Power Armor or Fire Arrow or a new character. One idea is that every level you unlock a Fusion ability, which lets you merge two characters into one.
Once you're on level 2, keep going. There's really no limit in levels--just your imagination.Advertisement

Community Q&A
- QuestionWhy should I use graph paper?
Community AnswerYou don't have to, but the tiny squares make it easier for some people to draw proportions. - QuestionWould you have to draw the attacks?
Community AnswerNo, not technically. Just as long as you have a decent memory and/or can show that an attack hits by lowering the HP Bar, you're good! - QuestionCould I use larger paper and play with more than one person?Community AnswerYes, you can do that.
Tips
- You can also add the option of classes: for example, an archer or swordsman, assassin, or mage.Thanks
- Try playing co-op--you control one character and a friend controls the other or 1-on-1 battle.Thanks
- To make yourself more motivated, plan out attacks for your characters to learn on later levels, like Meteor Smash on Level Five.Thanks
Warnings
- Don't make the boss too hard on your first time. You can always level up!Thanks
- If you're playing with multiple people, remember to play with someone who has an attention span long enough to enjoy the game.Thanks
- If you are at school or your job, don't add sound effects. Bosses and teachers will most likely get upset if they catch you doing this.Thanks
