All of them! Half-Life and Half-Life 2 and the episodes have gotten many hours of play. The new releases of Doom (2016) and Wolfenstein (New Order and New Colossus) did not disappoint either! 1

I still remember Wolfenstein getting blown out of the water by Doom and then Duke Nukem came along..I don't know if it's just being jaded but nothing pushes the boundaries anymore, there doesn't seem to be any ground breakers. I'm waiting for holodecks to arrive 1

Horrific stuff when you look back! One of these, @CaptainQuintero? I wouldn't mind one for my vintage collection! 1

I'm waiting for holodecks to arrive The Quake engine really changed gaming. Then along came Unreal Tournament. Multiplayer gaming never looked back. Battlefield broke barriers with their 100 player multiplayer games. Getting closer to holodecks with augmented reality. 1

Getting closer to holodecks with augmented reality. iD recently released the Quake III engine source code on Sourceforge and GitHub, for anyone that wants to tinker under the hood of a proper 3D game engine. Beyond these game engines from Source (Half-Life series), iD (Quake and Doom engines), and the Unreal engine iterations, the next major advances came along with game engines like the Dunia engine for open world games. 1
DeskSmkr Posted March 2, 2019 Posted March 2, 2019 Hill Climb Racing 2 o iOS! Fun few moments every day! The Oregon Trail, that was fun! Haven't played in ages.
IanMcLean68 Posted March 2, 2019 Posted March 2, 2019 I must admit having also spent many hours playing this in survival mode.
IanMcLean68 Posted March 2, 2019 Posted March 2, 2019 This is what my Steam library tells me I have played the most. With the Far Cry games like 3 & 4 it's hardly surprising as they take up to 100 hours or so of game play to reach 100% completion. Anybody else here brave enough to add up their total hours played on their Steam library? My total is currently 1,454 hours.

ayepatz Posted March 2, 2019 Author Posted March 2, 2019 When games go wrong. A capture from my Star Trek Fleet Command today. I’m so good at this I beat myself three times, apparently! ??? 2

dageshi Posted March 2, 2019 Posted March 2, 2019 Played Massive amounts of Battlefield 1, now playing Apex Legends (am very bad at it) on PC.
IanMcLean68 Posted March 2, 2019 Posted March 2, 2019 If anyone wants a real challenge, you should try what is probably one of the hardest platform games ever released (next to Defender).

I can just remember a side scrolling cowboy shooter The owl was both the mascot and the logo for the BBC Micro, a UK developed 8-bit computer based on the 6502 microprocessor. This was the predominant computer, other than the Sinclair ZX and Spectrum line in the UK during the 80's, used extensively in schools. Its successor was the Acorn Archimedes. The BBC Micro did exist in Australian schools too, but the Apple II and particularly the Microbee, being an Australian computer was more common here.
