I've just managed to stop playing Disgaea for some days, which is at least one of the most addictive, and best, games I've ever played. Longer ago, Virtua Fighter 4, GT3 and ToME has costed me some sleep (ToME-addiction is easily cured with the death of a lvl some 40 char tho). Don't get addicted to games like BG and Fallout in the same way... tho I love'em, I tend to be able to stop playing'em when I should get sleep (may have to do with me usually getting better at driving/action games when I get tired, but really not at getting through long dialogues and such).

Morrowind. The one game that did me in real good was Morrowind. I'm not talking sleep deprivation either. I didn't eat, drink, sleep. I'd get so pissed if someone made me get off the computer. Hell, I'd wake up, brush my teeth and do mouthwash, and go straight for Morrowind for the rest of the day. Not to mention i had the window shades down 24/7.

As a kid, it was the Goldbox AD&D rpg's on the Commodore 64 which begun my obsession with roleplaying in general. In particular Curse of the Azure Bonds - it was probably the first epic adventure which kept me awake at night.

Bard's Tale III also drove me quite insane and kept me up late at night wandering its wonderful dialogue heavy dungeons. Many moons were spent with that game!

Later on, I actually wagged school a couple of days playing the original Warcraft. When the sequel came out, I had to wait until the school holidays to get it to avoid it clashing with study habits.

More recently, the Baldur's Gates, Planescape Torment and Might and Magics 4-8 have taken a rather massive slice of my freedom. All hours, pleasurably spent of course. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Speaking of addiction - Back to Clouds of Xeen for me! Mwa ha haha (as Lord Xeen might say)

Bah, no such thing as video game addictions.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have some Eve-online and NWN to play.

Let me go way back. First year of college, I was 16, and Wing Commander just hit the stores. The guy upstairs was great at cracking copy protection, so got a hack copy and never saw daylight for a loooong time. Beat the hell outta that keyboard on my PSII with the monochrome screen, I did.

How did you go to college when you were 16, TL? And my addiction mostly, has been Diablo II, though all the Final Fantasies have held me, as well. I'm weak!!!

Pretty much every game that I've ever really gotten interested in has cost me a lot of sleep. Some of the biggest chunks of my life have been stolen by Fallout 2, Fallout Tactics, Baldurs Gate 2, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater (used to skip school daily for that one), Warlords 3, Warcraft 2, etc., etc., etc. Now I've joined a forum to read about other people's addictions. I need help.
Oh yeah, this is my first post...hi everyone.
