What game has taken up the most of your time?

[Zopperoni]

Civ2, CM, FSM/FAPLM...

Games that are good for multiplayer are always best for longevity.

1) Civ2, by a country mile. Between SP and MP I wouldn't be surprised to have hit 4 figures in terms of hours.

2) Quake3. Used to play on LANs a lot, and now I have dsl MP is great fun.

3) Sensible soccer on the Amiga. During the ages of 14 or so when I got 1.0 and 18 when I left for university (playing SWOS at this time) I played this game with my friends constantly.

Europa Universalis 2.


So many times I'll start playing the game in the morning, and before I know it the sun has set, and I haven't even gotten out of my chair since starting the game.

What about going to the bathroom!?

Fellow Mac user Old n Slow mentioned this...
Hmmm Let's see: 4 to 20 hours+ per game times over 600 games of Strategic Conquest on the Mac vs. 2 to 6 hours of Civ 2 per day 5 days a week on the PC for a decade -- you pick.

Wow! I really loved that game... that and Empire Builder... both were just a couple good games to just go out and swarm the world with units without having to think about tech or anything more complicated than wanting to beat up the other guy.

As far as my most time consuming game goes, they'd have to be:

SMAC/SMAX
CtP
Mario Kart 64 (only game my wife is willing to play with me.)
FF series
& Gadget Racers

Mario Kart just can't be beat for the experiance. Get four people together, even if they suck, and it'll be fun.

[Phantom]

diablo II and fifa WM

[Standup]

On the PC probably championship manager in its various forms.
On the PC and Amiga Civ/Civ2, Railroad Tycoon 1+2.
And going back a bit further on the Spectrum probably Lords of Midnight.

[Adagio]

I don't want to compare Civ1 to Civ2, so I just pick the series, I've spent most time playing:

Civilization games
SimCity games
The Settlers games

[Sarxis]

Lately, Morrowind. Besides that, Tribes2.

[Carolus Rex]

Civ II.

Carolus

As an update... it's not the FF series per se... but rather FF4 that's taking up most of my time. Got that hard version in Final Fantasy Chronicles and have been enjoying that. IT IS HARDER!

Also, nothing else has changed, though my wife has taken a liking to racing with Wario on Mario Kart so I've had to figure out a new favorite character for myself...
