What was your first game that made you lose track of time?

[Imperioratorex Caprae]

Everyone has a form of gamer "crack", mine was Kid Icarus for NES. My parents told me to be in bed by 8:30pm but never checked on me until about 1am when my stepmother came home (she was a flight attendant) and found me up still playing (3rd boss fight!!!).
Anyway, what was yours?

I don't remember my first, but the earliest I can remember was Link to the Past. But I was like...5? <.< I didn't really have much of a concept of time to begin with. Past that there's quite a few games that have done that to me.

Oblivion.
Tetris.
Pacman.
All of these are time blackholes.

Insane marathons of Pokemon Blue version...
I tend to focus in on whatever I'm doing, to an extreme level when I was younger. If I was playing that thing, my parents could talk to me for half an hour and I'd never even know they were in the room.

 

[Omikron009]

Probably Halo. It was my first real shooter.

 

[AugustFall]

Black and White, then Medieval Total War, then Guild Wars.

 

[Zeromaxx]

Hmm...I'm fairly certain it was Kirby's Dreamland for the NES. I can't count the number of times I beat the hell out of Metaknight.

 

[SleepyOtter]

System Shock...1? yes, that game was my first shooter for the computer and I love it so.

 

[LongAndShort]

KoTOR. It was the first game where I really lost track of the world around me. I'd be happily blasting away at sith troopers, then realise I hadn't taken a piss in 7-9 hours.

 

[Furious Styles]

Oblivion, I lost sooooooo much time to that game.

 

[TimeLord]

Fallout 3 is the closest I have got to loosing track of time in a game.

But it is so easy for me to use up hours of my day reading Artemis Fowl books on my iPhone!

 

[Gardenclaw]

sensible soccer on the Amiga. Lost days to that.

 

[V161]

GTAIV. Mind you it was the first game (& and game system: the 360) that I had since I gave up my nintendo way back before college (yup, old guy). Over 100 hours (both times i played it through) mostly between 9pm & 3-4am. Then out of the house for work by 6am. So Sad...

 

[realslimshadowen]

The very first Warlords. Once, I played that game pretty much from the time I got up to the time I went to bed, at least sixteen hours later.

 

[BlumiereBleck]

Lets seeeee *looks back on childhood :'( oh here we go* Legend of Zelda Ocarina of time

 

[masseyguy911]

Probably Pokemon Red I dumped so much time into that game as a child and never even realized it.

did KID ICARUS have a save feature? I dont remember.

First day my XBL was set up. UT3 all night.
