- - - Unreal Tournament Game Of The Year – give me carnage or give me death. Practice sessions only, using the “GOTY”, “invisivility” and “low gravity” mutators and bots set on “auto adjust [increase!] skill levels”. - DougC ---

I have most of the “tycoon” games…Rollercoaster, Golf Resort, Mall, Ski, Airline, Airport, Zoo and The Sims but I’ll have to say, Rollercoaster Tycoon is by far the best. ---

Civ III. I have been dreaming it. I see the lines of railroads when I close my eyes. I need to upgrade my graphics card so I can start playing Empire Earth and break my Civ habit for a while. ---

God, so many people play The Sims here. I find it really boring. Just a fancy tamagachi, if I want a tamagachi ill play **Black and White**. I just got **Freedom Force** the other day and its great. Finally the PC superhero curse is defeated! ---

I used to be addicted to MUDding. I used to be addicted to Snood. Now I’m burnt out. For both. ---

Diablo2Exp - play in spurts, some days I will spend all day on it, and not touch it for weeks. Highest char is my lvl 73 Amazon (singleplayer). Quake 3 - mmmmh. I used to play it SO MUCH that I closed my eyes at night and was still running the levels - with a RL. Quake 2 - played like a madwoman prior to obtaining Q3. I have been missing q2dm3 lately… Frag Pipe… ---

I’m a Civilization/SimCity freak too though I’ve been too busy to play either lately. I’m also a Myst/Riven nut - I’ve finished Myst, but I still like to wander around in there - see the sights & listen to the music. [Msn.com](http://Msn.com) has a bunch of games that I play more frequently than I probably should (like Bejeweled and Atomica). ---

Indeed. I had a good laugh when I read that the modern architecture templates for SimCity 4 are based off Houston, though. ---

Don’t get me wrong, I like the Sims. In fact its a great game, and it has qualities that would make me want to play it all the time. But its too realistic. My life is interesting enough as it is, and the sims just reminds me of things I need to do. Why tell my sim to clean up, and read books on cooking when i should be doing these things. ---

SimCity 2000, an oldie but a goodie. Everytime I install it I just play it for weeks until my Launch Arcos take off and then I uninstall it for a few months and then put it back on. This has been going on for years. It’s a vicious cycle. ---

Definitely agreed Slortar. I can’t stop exploring Vivec, been there yet? The Underworks (sewers) of the city are a tad creepy… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-p-c-games-are-you-addicted-to/106567.md?page=2)
