    Without a doubt, the most addictive PS2 game (and I almost only play PS2 games) is SSX Tricky. I only remember three other games so addictive: Nemesis (MSX) River Raid (Atari 2600) Enduro (Atari 2600) I guess I am becoming too old :-O My latest article: GBVB - Converting VB.NET code to C#

        Jones in the fast lane. It's a silly DOS game, but the fact that I'm still playing it must say something about it's allure. Either that or I'm just too cheap to buy a new game! :-D

                There are so many. I'm gonna go with the classics, though. I would spend hours upon hours playing Quake, Doom, and esp Duke Nukem. As far as non FPS go, my life used to revolve around only two games, Wizardry and Wing Commander. As of now I'm back to my boyhood fav, Kirby, for both the NES and SNES emulators. ...Zack...

                  The Four Fingered Shuffle. I don't play it quite as much as I used to, I just can't find the time anymore, but every teenager in the modern world has been adicted to that one at least once. :laugh:

                        Most addictive games for me: Chrono Trigger (SNES) Secret of Mana (SNES) Secret of Evermore (SNES) Final Fantasy X Any good racing game (recently NFS: Hot Pursuit 2) Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Of the above games, the ones I've been so addicted to that I have lost sleep are Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, Final Fantasy X, and the racing games (my personal favorite type of game).

                                    That dabs post about the little game made me have some thoughts... Which, in your opinion, was (or is) the most addictive game of all times ? In my case: Neverwinter Nights :cool: and Counter Strike :cool: Mauricio Ritter - Brazil Sonorking now: 100.13560 MRitter

Command & Conquer was the other game that my friends and I got addicted to, used to have LAN parties for days on end of continous C&C. ION canon and mammoth tanks, man of man I rocked at that :-D

                                      The Four Fingered Shuffle. I don't play it quite as much as I used to, I just can't find the time anymore, but every teenager in the modern world has been adicted to that one at least once. :laugh:

                                        It's a card game similar to Snap! played in schoolyards worldwide. :suss: :~

                                          Settlers III was very addictive for me too (took about three months to get over that one, and that was only because the first CD got too scratched to work anymore). I lived for the little cries of "Yipee!" when the geologists found gold! :-D :-o I was going to buy Settlers IV when they first released it, but I was preparing for exams at the time and considered it a "bad investment". ;)
