webbased strategy game: the late EmpireQuest, that was addictive! Still no other online webbased game catches me like EQ did.

Shooter: The Battlefield series, kept playing that with a friend of mine with the microphone on. I still do occasionally because I recently got me a new joystick....flying a chopper with it is fun!

The topic is obviously impossible to answer since we can never "play all games in all of time" to know. [img]tongue.gif[/img] Thus as Link suggested, we must infer our personal subjective and limited experiences, which I'm glad people have been doing. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Bard's Tale III: Thief of Fate and Curse of the Azure Bonds were the first two vastly addictive rpgs I played. Many moons spent with them and a platform to a life of RPG addiction!

For sheer addictive simplicity in gameplay, I'd have to mention the many horizontal/vertical scrolling shooters on my trusty C64. Games like R-Type, Armalyte, Delta, Galaga/Galaxy, Slapfight, Terra Cresta...i'd die many times but usually one more blast wasn't enough.

I liked Warcraft II far more than the third instalment, which was a disappointment to me. Friends and I still play Warcraft II online today, evidencing its addictiveness.

Double Dragon and games derived of its two player beat em up style were addictive too for me as a kid. I'd have to throw in Mario Kart and Street Fighter II aswell.

Too many games to mention, really!

Actually the more limiting factor is the subjetiveness of the concept of addictiveness. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Tony Hawks was a short term addiction, but it was strong. Suprisinf really, its the only game of its type i like and it was the first like it that i had played.

Currently Ragnarok Online is getting more and more addictive. So close to 99/50 so so close....

Well Warcraft III for a while then just became to busy with kids.

And now I have no time for games.
