What's the most obsessional computer game you have played?

[tom k&e]

I drove over 18,000 kilometers in GT3 during a six month obsession. Got all the licences and serched the net for tips on setting the suspension of the cars. Finally gave up with the game 92% complete. Never mastered the Zonda on the Italian Circuit....

Fuck, forgot the GT series! I'm seriously thinking about buying a ps3 when it comes out, just for GT5 @ me

Tbh I think I have a problem with computer games, for example on SUmmoner 2 I've clocked up easily 200 hours playing time probably a lot more and that is not by any stretch of the imagination the longets I've spent playing a game.

Oh, I'd forgotten about that coz I haven't played it for ages. I think I lost days on that one

 

[grimble]

[on_the_fly]

deffo WoW

Level 58 and 2 more till final level and then MORE quests and Epic items !

 

[fractionMan]

Moria/angband/zangband/tome school of games.

Utterly, utterly addictive.

Like stay up all night and scip work addictive.

 

[jæd]

* Elite First Encouters, nearly failed my exams on that...!
* Grand Theft Auto San Adreas & Liberty City...
* Wipeour Pure, made even more addictive since its on the PSP and it can be played anywhere...

 

[bluestreak]

the two that have really got me in my life are champiopnship manager. totally addicted, use it as a kind of relaxation method now, and currently GTASA, though i'm now trapped by my spazzy inability to make anything fly well enough to complete missions.

 

[MooChild]

Everquest account has been open for 6.5 years!

I dread to think........

Easily one of the best games on the PS2, it's a shame that it wasn't better received as I was looking forward to Summoner III. KotOR on the X-box ripped off the basic game play of the Summoner series.

 

[Orang Utan]

Snake on the mobile phone of course!

 

[perplexis]

Sensible Soccer on the Atari...
Final Fantasy VII on PS took up an entire summer, and I never properly finished it

 

[Strawman]

Everquest pretty much took over my life for 2 years. Played it every free moment I had, it was also responsible for me losing a job!

Played WOW recently and thankfully didnt get addicted to it in the same way, I think im free of mmorpg addiction now

Defintely better than Dungeon Siege, much less linear, more immersive, more varied (lots of little side quest, lot's of exploring to be done). I just about prefer BG to M&M VI, but BG2 was a better sequel to BG than any of succeeding M&M games. BG: NWN, I never really got into, far too short.

M&M VI was one of the best first-person RPG's ever made; M&M VII-VIII used the same game engine as M&M VI and aren't vast improvements on the original; MMIX uses a graphically superior engine, but this means it doesn't have the same vast open maps as M&M, nothing innovative just a prettier game for the fans of the series.

 

[BassJunkie]

Wipeout - so addictive, couldn't even stop for a cigarette, and the dreams man!

Also Green Beret, Jetpac on the Spectrum

 

[Mungy]

i'm just getting re-addicted to "worms world party"

KotOR on the X-box ripped off the basic game play of the Summoner series.

Wasn't it based on Neverwinter Nights? If so, was that borrowed from that series, too?

Another vote for Vice City. Currently going through the Tomb Raider series once more, have played the first one umpteen times.

 

[sorearm]

Christ, GTA vice city kept me on the go for months! And Freelancer was very addictive too .. must say that counter strike is still giving me a run for my money!

 

[electrogirl]

skooldaze on the speccy.

Skooldaze was ace! And you could name the characters yourself!

Mine would probably be Escape From Monkey Island though. I loved that game.

I thought star wars galaxies was bad.. but World of Warcraft is just teh most amazing life sucking waste of time ever.. i AM obsessed!

 

[Wide Eyed Angel]

Championship Manager, the addiction of which was never comparible to anything, until Vice City and then San Andreas.

 

[Pingu]

counterstrike source

 

[indigo4]

Zelda - windwaker

Spent a year playing this and the day before I was due to fly to Australia for a year's travelling my best mate took the day off and we played it constantly for 15 hours.

 

[hungry 4 kicks]

Duck Tales on the gameboy

Brilliant joke....unbelievable theme tune....(Not as good as CastleVania...)
