What's the longest Civ game you ever played? I went 72 hours one time to the very end.

What total time for a single game? No idea. I spent soooo many hours playing Civ II - but I wasn't addicted, I could give up any time I wanted to...[;)]

Yeah, me too. [:D]

I only play one Civ II game a week now.

Yeah right....isn't the first sign of addiction is admitting you're not and can quit anytime you want to? [:'(]

Civilization - I used to cycle miles to a friends house who had a PC to play it when he went out.

Yep - Civilization taught me that a day of work is tough on a single hour of sleep.

Sid Meier's Pirates! by Microprose on the Commodore 64, my mum ended up cutting the power cable of the computer

The Bard's Tale, a whole summer playing with my cousins. I had the 64 they had the Amiga. Pulled sickies to stay at home and not go to the beach!

Oblivion, 27 hour marathon session, told the then GF (now wife) I had tonsillitis and didnt want to infect her! I then slept for 16 hours straight!

Cut the power cable off huh? lol that is just sooooo funny I can see one of my ex-wives doing that but not my mum. She'd just give me a lecture on the values of socializing and playing outside.

You call that amazing? One of the first video games I remember playing was Pong. My perhaps first computer game experience was Wizard of Wor on Commodore 64 - with a friend! THAT was amazing!!
You know what they say, don't you? About how us MechWarriors are the modern knights, how warfare has become civilized now that we have to abide by conventions and rules of war. Don't believe it.

I played through that level. Then I got another level with some walls again.
