I wouldn’t say too many hours. More like the right amount of hours. But for me it was Super Mario World, DK 64, and Donkey Kong Country.
Frogger. 1 quarter at a time. My part time job as a young teen paid for 1000’s of hours…
Childhood….uh…… Oregon trail? Anything on the OG Nintendo system, or Atari. I loved the original Mario and Zelda games. Spent a lot of time in front of them for sure.
Civilization II
Just one more turn and I’ll go to bed…
Hmmm… what’s that light outside the window? Oh… that’s the sun rising.
Chrono Trigger. I couldn’t even tell you the number of hours I spent playing and replaying that game over and over as a kid.
This game has a special place in my heart. It’s like my Lord of the Rings of video games. I’ll play it again from time to time just to indulge myself.
A strategy game called Dark Colony. I have yet to meet someone who has heard of it but I spent many nights weekends and mornings before school playing that game.
During my childhood i had a commodore64 and My favorite games were boulder dash and oils well. In my early teens i just had a gameboy. Adventure island and darkwing duck were my two go to games. In my teen years during the mid 90s i was all about lucas arts adventure games… special mention for sam n max and day of the tentacle
Diablo 2, counter strike source, world of warcraft
Plenty more but these are probably the most serious offenders when it comes to overplaying them
Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts
I loved this game, but gosh was it difficult…
Metroid Prime Hunters, Pokemon games and Animal Crossing I guess !
There were a lot, but the one that stands out is Halo 2. I bought an Xbox 360 not for any games on it, but to play Halo 2 in HD.
Many lol. But the first that came to mind was Smash Melee. That game was my entire 8th grade.
In highschool, definitely WoW. It’s probably my most played game of all time by a huge margin.
Powder Game, still available https://dan-ball.jp/en/javagame/dust2/
GoldenEye 64 single and multiplayer modes. So many hours in four players mode, so much fun.
