What game 'hooked' you the most?

games which got me hooked have mainly been fps games.

spanning online gaming from 1995 to present day: duke nukem 3d (wireplay), quake(wireplay), quake2 (wireplay, later on net), quake3 (net etc).

I was hooked on duke3d as I could make maps easily and it was the first competitive online game I played, being able to win up to £20 every 2 weeks or so on wireplay. Aswell as a good community.

I really got into quake2 due to the weapons etc, later on I joined a clan and ended u playing to around about 3am in the morning. IMO it was the best online game so far and always will be. There was an excellent community, very little bitching or progamer wannabe's.

Quake3 I really didn't like at first, it just looked like marioland or disneyland with all the colours. Gameplay/netcode wasn't so good on release and at the time there seemed to be a massive amount of people trying to become progamers and cheating.(I guess they moved from counterstrike :eek: )
The main reason I got hooked was community and my friendship with my clan. It slowly broke up as the original members left tho, then Rocket Arena really got me hooked. Deathmatch in quake3 was no where near quake or quake2 and ctf+tdm was dire.

After being hooked on all 3 of the quake series I was very dissapointed when quake4 came out with all its bugs etc :( fps gaming really seems to have taken a nosedive, both in gameplay and community. I guess we'll never get the days of quake/quake2 back.

Still play tac ops? thats the most adictive game in the world!

Thats what i've been addicted on for years.
 
Counter strike and football manager/championship manager. Ive basically been playing the same game since 1993, which is quite a time, ive only recently got a bit fed up with it. Counter strike lasted me a good 4 years, ive never taken to CS source.
 
Online play would have to be Anarchy Online, played that for about 3 years, still waiting for another decent sci-fi MMORPG.

Offline, there's been a few, System Shock 2 had me from start to finish, HL1&2 have both been clocked several times, but Frontier:Elite 2 on the Amiga would have to be no.1.

Not played for ages ever since my clan died (TOR) at the end 2003 the more they updated it the less i loved it :( 2.0 - 2.2 were my favourite times for tac ops closely followed by the rough and ready 1.6 :)
still amazes me though that it has a fairly strong following still :cool:
