Biggest time sinks

Yar's Revenge.

Its odd how simple and addictive this game is.

Anyway, lessee, games I can pop in and play and either beat for the millionth time, or use to spend some enjoyable gap time:

Zanac, Space Megaforce, Gradius (NES).

I used to play through Final Fantasy 6 once a year. Unfortunately I haven't really had the time to do this for a few years now, but there's about a decade's worth of time where every year I'd sit down and play through it again.

I also enjoy Half-Life and Team Fortress Classic. About a year ago I played through Half-Life and Half-Life: Source, and I'm considering doing it again because of how much it impacted my life. I met most of my best friends playing Half-Life Deathmatch in a computer lab as an undergrad.

Here's a few that I can play over and over.

- Civilization 2
- Gladius
- Shining Force 1 & 2

Yar's Revenge.

Its odd how simple and addictive this game is.

Simple + Addictive = Missile Command.

This is another game I can spend hours playing without realizing it. The premise of "square fights off lines" is so simple, yet so great. The sound the game makes at your death is something I will never forget.

And it's the absolute best reason to own a trackball.

MGS1,2,3,4- I have 200+ hours into each game
Oblivion- 100+ hours
UFC Undisputed- 50+ hours
Super Metroid- 300+ hours, mainly because I am always trying to get a perfect speedrun

[Ack]

Oh, I should add Final Fantasy Tactics. I play through it from time to time, maxing everything out, trying different combinations. I've maxed out the clock multiple times.

Shoot, once day about three and a half years ago, I got bored and put it in my PS1. Loaded up the save files and discovered one with the clock maxed out. The odd thing was, it was still in Chapter 1. Shoot, the last storyline fight I had finished was Sweegy Woods(that's the...fourth fight of the game, I believe)! Yet all my folks were level 99, and had at least two jobs maxed out.

Man, now I want to go play Tactics again...

Ill add Tetris to my list. Any of the real versions, not these new ones with a hold feature and a shadow drop. NES (Nintendo), Gameboy, and Arcade are my three most played.
