There are a few games that have really got me badly addicted. Just for the sake of spamming the forum again here are my top 5 all time life sapping games.

1. Everquest: So addictive that I ended up having to pull the plug out of my computer whilst gripping my wrist with the other hand and yelling 'stop, make it stop' otherwise my life would have vanished, I'd never have got laid again and the sun would have been a dim and distant memory. I realised it had to go when I suddenly felt very thirsty, needed to pee desperately and got a niccotine craving like mad. I'd been sat infront of the screen for a solid ten hours and felt like death when I crawled away. The funny thing is I can't really explain what's so great about it, there's no interaction with other players beyond grouping up to go and bash things and it's not especially deep. All I know is that it had a similar effect on other people I know and some people I used to work with all quit together to pursue other interests, like living. :bye:

2. Civilisation Call to Power II: As it came out of the box it was just rubbish, the graphics were no better than CTP I and not much had been added. It was riddled with bugs and the AI milled around like a bunch of hobos while you cut a swathe through their land. Simply dismal. Then the Apolyton fans patch came out and did what Activision couldn't, or couldn't be bothered to do. All of a sudden the game went from poor Civ 2 clone to utterly addictive life sapper. With up to 32 different civ's on your case, myriad new ways to play and much more realism I got totally hooked, and I still am. Considering it cost a fiver this has to be the best value for money ever. Forget Civ3, compared to CTP2 with fan mods it is utterly shallow. Give it a try, if you like strategy games at all then I promise you that you'll be hooked.

3. Xcom I, II and Apoc: Squad based strategy games have always fascinated me, I don't know why but Laser Squad got me pretty hooked and I effortlessly transferred my affections to these games. It isn't about fast reactions, nor is it about mashing the joystick button as quickly as possible. You can take five seconds or an hour thinking about your next move and the combat was engrossing and satisfying. Apoc was the version that really appealed to me, the graphics were much clearer and though less random, the buildings were fantastic. As soon as I finish it I have a new game on the go, that's how good it is.

4. Captive, on the ST: Anyone else remember this classic? It was like Dungeon Master only with four cute robots, about a million different places to go and about twice that amount of items, both useful and utterly pointless. The monsters were great, the tension was brilliant and the robots ceased to be a collection of stats after a few days play and became your avatars in a dangerous and fun world. I really loved this game.

5. Any adventure game, of any quality whatsoever: From the earliest text adventures to the latest releases, if its adventure or IF I have to finish it. Other adventure fans must surely get the same addictions? One thing I really love about this genre is you can go away from the PC and be doing something else (like pretending to work) and the puzzle will suddenly click into place and all of a sudden you have a need to get back to your computer to try out a new way to get past a tricky puzzle or problem! I once drove all the way home from work at lunchtime because of a flash of inspiration. If that isn't addiction I don't know what is!

Thanks for taking the time to read this, or at least click past without the need to yell abuse at me for my long waffling posts! :whistle:

Counter Strike-damn...why didn't they ban me so i can stop?(yeah right)
Starcraft-for a while
HOMM 3 SOD-2 years

[Abi79]

HoMM 3 - AB & SoD
Starsiege Tribes
Jagged Alliance 2 :wub:
Battlecruiser 3000 AD - 30 minutes (due to a bug related to my voodoo 2)
Battlecruiser Millenium - 20 seconds (due to the fact that the game does not run on a Voodoo 2)

[blastradius14]

My list is almost Pigggy's list only with a few different games.

Like the Krynn series instead of Dod, Half life and Fallout

Strobe, are you my clone or something? Freelancer, Morrowind and MGS? You hit the spot!

OK, I play Morrowind right now, I don't want to install Freelancer again 'cause I'm afraid that I'll want to play multiplayer on Asylum 51 again and this stupid banwidth limit on ADSL is killing me....

Now, where did I put my MGS? :whistle:
