I have a "thing" for RPG games... played Little Ninja Brothers in NES for two days straight... my friend and me. 5AM to 12PM He lived next door so no problem.

Played Final Fantasy IV for one continuous day (24 hrs!!)

Played Final Fantasy VII for two continuous days, just 6-8 hrs sleep inbetween. The satisfaction after beating Sephiroth and Genova was unbeatable :)

Initially I too thought that the saves disappeared but the fact was one had to manually select the profile. :D
Anyways till my +2 I used to play on my PS2. On it I had average playing time of 8hours and maximum record of 14hours(My parents were home).
Now I'm in my 3rd year of Engg. and got my PC in my 2nd year but the $h1t too has increased so can't play games for such long hours now, at max. 3 hours :(
Now my vacations are slowly approaching and time to buy the PS3 and GTA4 too so will be wrecking Liberty City till the wee hours of the morning.:cool:

I have mellowed down a lot.Earlier I used to fanatically play for 8+ hours.Since I got my job it's been 2+ hours on & off.One weekends or on work off's It can stretch upto 5-6 hours.I used to be a heavy game addict but now just can't find enough time to adjust all those games that I get for the PC.Seems like they are just becoming a part of my collection.:D

Okay here is my history.. (was born in 1977)

1. 1988 -- Saw the game boy..fell in love with it.
2. 1988-90 -- Played Mario/Kung Fu fighter on coin operated consoles.
3. 1990 (late) -- Saw the NES (Known as Samuria)..a 8 - Bit system.
4. 1991 (First 6 months) -- begged parents to buy me a NES.
5. 1991 (December) -- got the NES. Was only allowed to play on weekends.
6. 1992 -- Optician diagnosed me positive for spectacles...to much gaming.
7. 1995 -- Saw DOOM for Windows system. Almost fainted..it was so so cool.
8. 1997-2003 -- No gaming..to busy with college and work...
9. 2004 - till today.....play a lot of games..FPS is my favorite..can go to around 2-3 hours at a time. Usually when I get back from work..I hammer it out..on my favorite FPS..love them.

Wish I could put in more time..to this constructive activity...it is too much fun. Due to gaming..I try to stay updated with lates PC news...keep my system optimized to max...follow forums like this..for more information.

YES I AM A GAME ADDICT...!

Saw a TV video game thingy at friend's home some 10 years back at Naani's place:D,got it the day I returned home.Used to play continously for long hours with a friend of mine.During vaccations,I used to finish one game a day as the option to save games was not there.Killed this one,bought a new one.I killed almost a dozen of these!One day my dad brought home his office lappy,saw a game on it and was not ready to leave it at any cost:DInstalled many games on it and played like crazy until I found that the newer games won't run on P3,Windows 98,128MB RAM.Got my first PC in December 2003 with some ugly config.Pawned it for a year or so then added a Nvidia Geforce 2 Card to play LOTR LOL!In April 2006,got another PC with P4,6200 TC,1GB RAM.Then upgraded to Pentium Dual core,8600 GT,2 GB RAM and not I own the Gaming Rig in my signature.My brother is also a crazy gamer like me:D

im also one of the most most addictive gamers.
every day, i spend 5 to 6 hours (day or night) daily

But games are spoiled lot of important sections and irrecoverable time in my life and i am lost lot of things for playing games.. i have spent thousands of thousands (in the period of 1994).. now i feels about that.

My advice to all my friends is, plzz dont wast lot of times to spend on serious gaming.. They are only an imaginalbe things to spoil our valuable time.


But, My fav games in my 14 years flashback..

1. Contra
2. Mario
3. Islander
4. Kung Fu
5. Star City
6. Bomber Man
7. Battle City
8. RAlly X
9. Tetris
10. Arkanoid


some of the name of the nintendo games have been forgetton. but they are all playing with me in my dreams.

my favourite game of the 20th century is DOOM 3

This is true..gaming time should be planned out..and prioritized. Then it is more fun. It can be taken as another hobby/pastime..like painting..listening to music..sports....! And honestly...it does add creativity to ones self ..playing games..and appreciation of technology..!!

Some of the games..which are deeply ingrained in me till date:

1. Mario 1,2,3 (the one with the flying tail)
2. Contra
3. Super C
4. KungFu
5. Castlevania
6. StreetFighter Series
7. Vigilante
8. Silk Worm
9. Bomber Man
10. Islander
Managed to get the emulater versions for 1,2,3,4,5,6....last year. So the gaming experience lives on again...!!!!!!

^This pp; are right. I lost by single margin on my History paper in last year's final exam and came at 2nd rank. If i had studied rather than playing Resident Evil 4 (my addiction that time on PS2). I wud have gotten first rank :( Well these is nuthing compared to other damages gaming can cuase. But on the orther hand its beatiful pass-time and hobby and makes us aware of the power of technology!

i was introduced to computers when i was in 4th std i did the basic course the usual ms paint and balh blah etc then later i learned foxpro.
then dave, prince came into my life. and they seem to have some kind of effect on me. that was back in 94 when there were 486 pc's. and the big floppies.
any ways from then on till now i play games.

i get headaches, and irritations when i do not play games for long time.

so i think i am addicted to games.

Only 7~8 hours? I used to play all day long, till i get used to feel giddy in my head and my ears used to ring ;). But it began interfering with my studies. Stopped playing then.

These days i get no time to play, busy with work and related stuff :)

lol...i remember the busy gaming days, used to complete every new game in one sitting.

But now I don't like new games, of course its been a while I did an upgrade, am having more control over my ruthless gaming tendencies now.

Waiting for few chosen games, then i will upgrade, not a gaming whore anymore

When I was very young I used to spend weekends on Age of Empires - Rise of Rome Demo :) Then I got full games from friends. Those were the dark ages of my life, when I used VSNL and NetOne dial up. :(

this is my history;-)

i am playing games from 15 years

i spended lakhs of rupees for games...

in my bed room i have too racks tightly filled with games....

till now i spended 60000 only for buying the ps3 games.....


few years back i played age of empire series many days continuously ...but now not much interested to play games on my pc.....
