"What's game have you spent the longest time on?"

I'm not asking what you think the longest game is, but what game you have spent the longest time playing - the one game you have really had your money's worth from!

Mine would be CounterStrike on PC. I have played that for literally years and although 90% of the plpayers are nobs, it's still good fun when you get a decent game. I'm admittedly getting a little bored of it now and I don't really have the patience for long games anymore (although I'm looking forward to this Disgaea on PS2...).

So, what game has taken the most hours from your life?

Aye, that was boffin alright. I'm trying to get hold of the disk image.

Thanks for the headsup on the links. I'll have a look.

For me it would be F1GP, UFO Enemy Unknown, F117A and The Settlers, all on the Amiga; collectively, I spent tens of days on the games.

Ever? As in my entire life? Probably between Goldeneye, Wrestlemania 2000/No Mercy or Redalert on the PC. They took away my life...

I prefered Circit Breakers. *Amazon's*

Most recently it'd be Rainbow Six 3 and Splinter Cell 2 on Xbox Live.

You can say "crap" for some reason ...

Anyway ... Boffin - was that the one where you could glide down by opening your umbrella? The spider freaked me out completely!

I was an expert at Frak! !

I have virtually the entire contents of that site on my hard drive for a long time - I'm running a BBC emulator (BeebEm) within a Windows emulator (VirtualPC).


Did you ever play Imogen? There's been a remake made for Windows ([URL]http://imogen.ovine.net/[/URL]) which I was a playtester for.
