Not a gamer, no first person shooters, no rpg, no Civilization, Second Life or Sims. The only games I like are puzzle-types. EXCEPT… **Blizzard’s "Diablo**", all of them since the first, and **WoW**. Got thoroughly sucked in to a life-stopping degree with every one, for many weeks, and If my life depended it I could not explain it. Really…with every one of them I reached a point where I barely slept or functioned at all, played til blurry-eyed, sleep 4 or 5 hours, wake, start again and put in another 16-18 hours. Blizzard got me in my 30s, 40s and 50s. The only other game that came close was a precursor BBS-based TEXT version of the same thing called Arena. And I have sampled lots of other similar games with similar elements. Nothing. Not the slightest bit of interest in any of them. So weird. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/one-offs-that-you-love-despite-disliking-the-rest-of-the-genre/677548)._
