Most played game...

Oh the top of the list would be
`Sim City 2000`

Followed by
`Civilization 2`

Can`t count how many sleepless night i`ve spent playing those 2 games .. !!!

 

warcraft 3.... dota/doomsday

 

I thought we were only talking PC games at first. Wow...hmmm Halo..yeah I've definitely spent a very significant chunk of my life, busting skulls in Halo: CE.

Also, WoW...I quit playing so it kind of got left out in my brain, but I've easily spent about four-five months of time in that clown car.

 

Battlefield 2

 

Call of Duty 4

 

Morrowind, no contest.

I cringe to think of the amount of time I spent on that thing...

 

Master of Orion and Heroes of Might and Magic 2...

A friend and I wore Duke Nukem 3D out...I have never finished all the single player episodes, but we spent hours upon hours playing on a serial (null-modem) connection...our wives went out of town one weekend (probably to spend quality time with more manly men), and we played for almost 24 hours straight...

When I was in the Navy, one of the squadrons had a ready room on the carrier decked out with about a dozen PCs on a local net...it was ridiculous how much time I spent in there playing Unreal Tournament with the squadron folks...and after the Navy, UT was still the game of choice when my brothers-in-law and I got together every holiday until Half-Life 2 Deathmatch came out...

 

U.S. troops really need support

 

we do! Seriously.....I mean its 2009, and we're still playing Call of Duty TWO out here..... is with that?

 

i hope that they are not building their fighting skills with pc games , because war is another thing in the real world
however call of duty 2 network is one of the best , playing old games is not really something bad , some games cannot be stopped with time
civ III , mafia , half life , serious sam , duke nukem , return to castle wolfenstein , colin mcrae 2 , medal of honor allied assault , red alert 2 , age of empires 3 , tomb raider 2
i still enjoy these games like it's the first time i play them :$

 

Single Game:
Civilisation 3

Series:
Civ 1-4

That game is responsible for stealing months and months of my life. There was a time i used to seriously wonder whether my obsession with it was so dangerous i needed de-addiction help. Later when i started reading game related forums i was surprised at how everyone seemed to have that one more turn problem with it. Just what is so addicting with this game ? Almost any other game i can pause/save/exit any time as i'm not a hard core gamer at all but this game made me ignore food, sleep, family, friends, school (yes, i've pretended to be ill, when i was in school, so i could sit at home alone and play this game). What bugs me though is that i've still never been able to beat it at the higher difficulty levels....man i really do suck at games if i can't even beat my fav game at emperor even after years of attempts....

 

> What is the game that has robbed you of most of your time over the years?

I've been playing Counter Strike/Half Life for what seems like 10 years. I played it yesterday.

I'm about to play it now...

 

I've also wasted a stupidly large amount of time playing the Bejeweled (Classic and Twist) and Peggle (Deluxe, Extreme, and Night) series of games.

 

Gunbound, over 3000 hours...

CS from 1.3 to 1.6, over 3 years playing, don't know how many hours...

 

warcraft 3, biggest waste of time ever.

 

i spent time on civ 3 more than internet , way moreeeeeee
it's so addictive because of the ability to bargain and talk to other civilizations despite the fact they are AIs , it was just a perfect game , the only game i couldn't find anything wrong with
and the amazing is that even after years and years u can still discover new things u didn't knew before ...... all this in just one CD
while now most of the games come with 2 DVDs , that's like almost 20 CDs and they cant reach half of civ 3 greatness
and about the difficulty , i didn't even try to beat it at the hardest , i try moderate difficulty with a HUGE map and max number of rivals
and then u can start ur deplomacy , make alliances and then betray them as much as you want
amazing game , i will re-install it

 

Counterstrike: Source
Warcraft 3
Team Fortress 2

 

Persona 3 and 4 - 128 and 99 hours logged, respectively, not counting reloads and game overs.

 

enemy territory, i still dream of playing that game still. But the facist gamer severs were closed because of its 'over' enthusiastic gamers. I loved getting on and seeing all the regulars and chatting and owning the server as rambo medic, best days of my gaming.

 

Pokemon sapphire for the game boy advance.
ins't that sad.

 

Sweet Lord in Heaven.

 

Championship Manager 01/02....played it till now when it first came out....

 

Monster Hunter Freedom 2 + Monster Hunter Portable 2ndG, both for the PSP. Over 700+ hrs and still counting...

 

Another civ addict here... got started w/ Civ II, and been playing all the iterations ever since. Still my favorite, and one that is always on my computer. Without doubnt the series I've spent the most time with (though MOO2 would be close if you just count a single game, I'm not sure it counts - it's kinda Civ in space anyway...)

Oh, and:

...I understand - for us Air Force guys, we'd go in late nights after the schedule was posted and the planners were done planning the next days sorties, and grab all the computers in the ops building to play LAN games. I remember Quake was a big favorite, though I never was any good at it...

Still, if you've got to be in the desert, it made passing the time a little more fun...

 

Online: Diablo 2 or WoW

Offline: Id have to say its a tie between Blizzard RTS games (starcraft and warcraft) and Age of empires anything.

I think I might lean more towards Blizzard RTS because they came out when I was in high school and they were immensely popular for LAN games when we were done programming. One of the great perks for taking Computer science type classes at my high school (granted I graduated in 2001) is that we got 1 hour out of 1.5 hours of class to do homework (coding) or anything we wanted that was computer related. So basically me and my classmates would essentially have a quick lan party every other day.

 

Great to read all these.

I wonder how many people have nostalgically installed old favs

 

mmo: Star Wars Galaxies: PVP Force Ranked Dark Jedi on Lowca-- Every single day from mid 2003-2005 Pre NGE. Unlocked on 5th profession in Nov 03I hated the CU and NGE. Left after beta testing the NGE.

Jedi Knight -Dark Forces 2. Played this so much that I still dream sometimes about shooting people with the missle launcher which was a lot like the one in the movie hudson hawk. Beat the single player game like 20 times.

 

I hate these threads because I always end up doing just that!

I'm going to fire up AvP since I never really played it much, and I always meant to.

And Freelancer too!

 

I still have Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri & Alien Crossfire installed on my laptop.

I also recently reinstalled Starcraft to have another go around prior to the sequel(s) coming out.

 

Starcraft is a game I never got opportunity to play I think ill try it considering how popular it is. Besides I loved all the warcraft games

 

Probably Halo 2 when it was the only game worth buying for the Xbox...I easily had at least a couple thousand hours on Xbox Live.

 

Three games have taken away most of my time:
GTA San Andreas: nearly 1500 hrs, which includes completing 100% 6 times.

Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion:nearly 300 hrs, all quests completed thrice.

GTA Vice City: 300 hrs.

 

on computer i think it was Warcrat TFT

it is amazing and me and my brother would literally fight to play it since we just had one computer...good times

 

has to be diablo 2, played through the game over 60 times, quite and picked up again and again over the span of 9 years, just started playing again

 

EverQuest and Team Fortress Classic for way too many years..

 

Either Infantry online, or the call of duty series.

I am easily at 3k hours on all the call of duties, and according to the account info from when I quit I was a bit over 5k hours in Infantry Online.

 

My lord Degu, people spend 2000 hours at work a year....!

 

Oblivion (about 250 hours, incl. Knights of the Nine and Shivering Isles)
Bioshock (finished it 4 times)
Halo 2 (many hours of LAN-madness)
Fable 1 (finished it 4 times)

 

I have my most played games still installed.

The people in the top guild on my WoW server are literally online all day everyday. I bet they log in the 3000-4000 a year category.

 

I rarely, if ever, uninstall a game...I just buy another external drive...

The only game that was ever a favorite of mine that I don't have installed is Crimson Skies...the newer nVidia drivers broke compatibility with the game, and I refuse to play the game in software mode...I'm one that always preaches gameplay over visuals...but once you've seen the hardware accelerated 3D images, it's tough to stomach the pixelicious software images...

 

! 1500 hours? Man some people dont even do that in World or Warcraft! Haha
