Dark Age of Camelot - God I loved this game! Pretty much two years of every spare second went on this time drain lol! I was in a lovely guild made up of people I knew in RL and a few others who became RL friends (there was only about 12 of us, our meet-ups involved people flying in from Ireland and the states

)

Unreal Tournament - great stress buster, brainless fun.

City of Heroes - another time sink, but never got into it the way I did DAoC

WoW - was in there from the start, but it never really held me like DAoC...Im far too loyal it seems

Also Bubblebobble, Chucky Egg, Lemmings etc.

These days I go for online puzzle games mostly like JT Blocks on yahoo, no commitment and a quick fix!

Never would have had you down as a MMORPG player Pebbles. Not sure why, just figured you'd be more sensible than to go near a very addictive genre of game

WoW never quite keeps a hold on me, but I have just returned for the third time I think

Dungeon Master (Atari ST). Old school dungeon crawler.

Sim City 2000 (PC). Classic game, occasioanlly still play it now.

Monkey Island 1/2 (Amiga). Point and click, ace fun and well scripted.

Command and Conquer Red Alert 2 (PC). Fantastic fun to be had playing with mates on LAN.

Unreal Tournament (PC). Great fun, the new ones aren't a patch on the original in terms of gameplay.

Street Fighter 2 (all editions) - SNES - Loved this game, along with Mortal Kombat I spent an entire summer holiday playing it with my friend Ian.

Super Mario Kart - SNES - Hours were wasted getting the gold cup in all the tournaments. Awesome fun

The Legend of Zelda - SNES - Partially responsible for me doing badly at university

Grand Theft Auto 3 - PS2 - The game that made me eventually buy a PS2. Completed it about 6 times, collected all the stars, played with cheats, had fun getting 6 stars and getting the Army after me then stealing a tank

Eve-Online - PC - I'll not go on about it, I think I've already managed to bore some of you to death

There are some cracking games that have been mentioned so far

Mortal Kombat on the Megadrive. A timeless classic really. Even now I have the megadrive connected and when mates come back plastered they all want a go on it.

Command and conquer - For me the game that started my interest in RTS. I've never been a fan of TA, but C&C drew me in and it grew from there.

Flashback. Another smashing game that I still play now, excellent platformer and I wish that they still made games like this now.

Half-life. This truely was the start of something new with fps and its spawned a lot of games from it. I truely wish that with hl2 they would go back to some kind of massive underground facility. That really would rock. However with the whole city 17 route I can't see this happening. Although there are 16 other cities that need expoloring!

Unreal tournament /2k4. Well this really kicked me off in the online fps fragging. Due to work I haven't played in ages, but I used to be in Venom which was one of the top clans before it folded

When I have some time on my hands I will be getting back online and kicking ass.

I've never been a hardcore gamer, but the game that got me "online" was Kingpin. It was great fun as a single player game but playing online was something else. I went from Modem to ISDN to ADSL playing this. Played in a clan with CGF (Casino Goodfellas) over at Gameplay/Wireplay for years.

PeterNem · 11-09-2006, 09:29

I remember Kingpin, only ever played the single player version.

I've never been a fan of Eminem's music, but I remember being round a mate's house playing Kingpin whilst he was playing an Eminem album and the music seemed the fit perfectly!

Don't play much now but this is most of the games I can remember spending huge amounts of time playing in the past:

Bombjack (C64)
Sensible Soccer (Amiga)
Civilisation, I, II or III (Amiga/PC)
F1GP (Amiga)
Settlers (Amiga)
Championship Manager (Amiga)
Tetris (Gameboy)
Gran Turismo Series(PS/PS2)

Nowadays I don't have the attention span to play anything for more than 1/2 hour at a time so I make do with flash games, I've also still got the facilities to play pretty much all of the above should the mood take me.
