Games you have sunk the most time into?

[DawnOday]

Pong. Bwahahahahaha  Hey, I'm old. I used to play a lot. But my son at seven told me Nintendo was his life. Shortly thereafter I started losing a lot. It gets frustrating losing to a nine year old.

The Need For Speed franchise. Not sure which I played the most, but it would be either Carbon, Underground 2, or the original Most Wanted.

The music in those earlier NFS games are  big part of the soundtrack to my life.

Borderlands 2.  Offbeat, some of the wittiest and most hilarious dialogue ever to get put into a video game, and plenty of action.

WoW. I played it every waken hour from Vanilla to BC. I stayed up at nights raiding villages and castles, working daytime, taking care of kids. Learned my kids to play it. They played with me and learned the ethics of online gaming. That is a good thing. None of them are bullies.

But I was addicted. I still pay for my account. But I have not the guts to play much. I'm a person with an addiction brain. If I get stuck again I will neglect everything else.

When I play and feel the addiction cravings coming I stop. It's painful. But it is worse to give in.

I have also played and payed for SWTOR. Pretty much the same free world gameplay as WoW but StarWars.

Oh yeah, that's still going ain't it. I used to play as a Night Elf hunter and had a pet hyena in Darkspear. Didn't raid or do group sessions in the instances much though, my mates weren't too reliable, a few LEEEEEROOOOY JENKINSES in there

Everquest and Everquest 2. Between them there is no telling how many years I wasted. I had 13 year veteran status last time I played EQ2. After EQ was a first person shooter called Delta Force which came out in 1998. There were several titles. I played all of them. The last title Joint Ops was exclusive online and multiplayer. My brother lived in Texas back then, I lived in NC. We would play just to hang out. Played that alone on and off for 4 or so years.

Currently it has been Fallout 4. 800 hours or so at the moment... Would have been more today but the latest update screwed up my play time. I decided to switch from NMM to Vortex for a mod manager, ran the converter, updated all my mods and the Looksmenu caused my new game to freeze. Guess I'll have to wait a few more days while modded fix the rushed updates.

In my lifetime, Star Wars Galaxies.
I find it hard to sit and play 1 game for a long period of time now. But my go to's are Warframe, Path of Exile, Rocket League and Elite Dangerous. I play racing sims as well (I have all the gear for flight and driving simulators).

Oh goodness, uh. Well, franchise-wise, definitely the Sims. I started playing Sims 2 when I was ten or so and I've put countless hours into 2, 3, and 4 since. Same with Minecraft and Spore; no idea how many hours I've played, but I've owned them for 8+ and 10+ years, respectively.

According to Steam, my most-played games are: Binding of Isaac/Rebirth (500 hours between both games), Don't Starve (120 hours), Skyrim (106 hours), Stardew Valley (104 hours), and Terraria (82 hours).

        Find the shooting war games my son and his friends play to be absolutely ridiculous . . . When kids were smaller found the only true multi-player strategy game, where knowledge & co-operation between operators was essential for everyone's survival, was TOONTOWN as "childish" as that sounds! There were no "resets" you simply did not go into a particular battle if you didn't think the other players were up to the task! Friends lists, experience assessment and real-time communication was key!



By popular demand the now free, "rewritten" game is quite identical to the paid Disney original.

The most time spent and fun I had was "the real-time game" of reading, decripting and modifying satellite TV's video signal became quite adept at it was a honorary contributing member on many a "dark web" forum.

That's what I was forgetting! I played Toontown every day for years as a kid, mostly because my mother loved it, too. When the annual membership kept going up, despite the gameplay updates stagnating, we let ours lapse and moved on to FreeRealms instead; I have my fingers crossed for a successful FreeRealms revival, but Toontown Rewritten scratches the nostalgia itch just as well.

In the last few years I played Avabel ALOT, but since HRT I've lost interest in games in general

    Ever hear of Zork I, The Great Underground Empire? I played it all night long on a TRS80 (that's a TandyRadioShack) connected via "modem" to a UNC's mainframe!

The first version of Zork was written between 1977 and 1979 using the MDL programming language on a DEC PDP-10 computer.[1][2] The authors—Tim Anderson, Marc Blank, Bruce Daniels, and Dave Lebling—were members of the MIT Dynamic Modelling Group.[3]

Sheeze am showing my age! My university was using a DEC System20 when the 1'st Apple11e's were introduced! Still have the original IBM 8088 PC with TechReferenceManuals which cost over $3,000 which was expensive as hell! Quite simple by todays standards but revolutionary back then!

I have! I've played it on Zork Online, along with the sequels. They're incredibly fun.

Kingdom Hearts II for sure!

You know, I never realized how popular this thread got  Well, at least it is probably the popular thread I made. Anyway! I,d definitely say my most played game at this point is World of Warcraft. It was just simply too addicting to stay away. Plus I had someone to play with! 

Think Hearthstone might have taken Company of Heroes spot at this point. Cant...stop...playing...halp  Really enjoy the game but it can be bad for your mental health
