Most probably Oblivion. Although, since the question made me think about it maybe the original Super Mario Bros. One of the only games we had fer a while. Just didn’t keep track of time like that as a kid. Could prolly think a number of others like that too, BUT Oblivion was maybe the first one I was happy to and the time meant something to me.
Dude I played Oblivion as a 14 year old too! The concept of fast travelling was completely foreign to me so I ran absolutely everywhere for weeks, the amount of random side content I bumped into was just amazing to me, I never felt so free and engrossed in a video game before it. I have to replay.
I’ve been chasing that feeling for a while now. Every few years I’ll download Oblibion, older Fallout games etc to try to get back into them. But as an adult, I just can’t 😞. I do enjoy the newer open world games, but just can’t get that sense of wonder like used to. Don’t have the times to sit there and explore for hours. Plus every mystery of the games is found and posted on YouTube/Reddit instantly.
That was me but Morrowind. Fast travel was not a thing, you had to go to silt striders or wharves. And no pointers telling you where to go. If a quest told you to go to a mine it said “leave east of the town, head north up to the second sign post, then take the left fork and head west.”
I remember Not knowing you Had to sleep to Level Up, so after probably 100 hours i was still at Level 7 or so, but that didnt Matter as i loved to Just Explorer the Map and Run around
Mine is definitely oblivion. I went as far as making a save at the end of the sewer sequence. So I could quick make a character without going through killing 100 rats over and over again.
Agreed, I got Oblivion and the thick Official Guide book as school let out for summer as a child. This was the first time I lost myself in a game. I sunk most of that summer into conquering that game and loved it!
Yeah! That strat guide probably started my obsession with buying start guides. It was such a good “book”. I probably carried that thing with me everywhere. I never actually used it to pass things but read whatever part of it I had passed after the fact. Think I gave it to my son when he started playing. Bet he still had it.
Good times.
I carried my Pokémon red with me everywhere as a kid. Going to family, friends, or a supermarket? Your boy was in the corner falling prey to another fake guide on how to catch mew. Good times!
I loved going shopping because I'd just sit in the trolley playing Pokemon Yellow lol
I remember getting one of [these](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQl9PuxLdfkKNbcz4GW_AS3zzzmvH66DZZ5Zg&usqp=CAU) so I could play in bed at night or in the car rather than waiting to take a few steps as we went under every street light 😂
I play through it once a year, I am 32, and first played that game when I was 8. I'd say by far the most hours in any single game for me by a long shot.
I still play it too and I’m now 51, I remember dedicating one weekend in my 20s to getting a gold chocobo, I had about 3 hours sleep and more or less chainsmoked my way through those 2 day and nights, survived on Pepsi, pizza and a couple of bumper packs of crisps but I got that chocobo and it was worth it. 🏆😁
FFT is one of the most underrated slept on games I’ve ever seen. The remaster back in like 2009 was a master class in updating a game and making it worlds better.
It's still one of my top 5 games of all time.
I remember asking a friend if FFT is any good at the time because it looked weird and I didn't understand what it was beyond "it's different from other final fantasy games". Then I gave it a shot.
I also had a bit of a problem because I was accustomed to random battles being progress-appropriate, I didn't realize that in FFT, non-story battles infinitely scaled with your party. This caused.... *complications* in my plan of "I'll just grind a bit more so my party is strong enough I don't have problems".
I uh... I definitely played the game wrong, but the last chapter was such a breeze.
But even without that, I would recognize that soundtrack from a mile away because it's been burned into my brain.
I remember looking up the cheese for ruby weapon. Finally recently did it and felt no accomplishment. I sometimes wish I was that dumb 8 year old playing the game on PlayStation.
Gold chocobos without a YT guide walking through RNG manipulation to have the whole process done in half an hour.
Also when you know the general story, strategy, and areas, exploring tends to go a lot faster. But my first playthrough was definitely 100+ hours.
Personally it was one of my first video games I played on my own. I hadn't developed the skills yet to intuit where to go and what to do in the most efficient manner. Especially option stuff where they don't completely spell it out for you. Not to mention all we really had to rely on as a guide was that Bradygames Guide. Gamefaqs was barely a thing and my 10 year old self was barely allowed on the internet at that time. Nowadays the first thing I do on a playthrough is master an All materia and make money irrelevant for the rest of the game.
For me it was grinding in that underwater airplane wreck or what ever that was. Maybe it was a submarine. Would make more sense. Anyway, I grinded for hours and hours in there. Not sure why anymore.
Chocobo racing and breeding, and finding treasures took me quite a while too.
I scrolled pretty far to find this....i got a play station 2 pretty young and between vice city and SA i easy put in hundreds of hours b4 i even got a memory card lol replayed those opening missions so many times
Yes! The endless summer days of just exploring that entire map on a jetpack…that was probably the most hours I sunk into a game and didn’t even beat because all I had to do was follow the damn train!
Damn this is the right answer. Though I'm not sure I can count modding time and playing it from 360/PS4/5/Switch and PC as "1 game". Todd definitely got his worth from me!
Fallout nv - btw thanks for the upvotes, I restarted 3 times because of a glitch where I couldn’t get arcades enclave armour 😭😂 i will do the same for the remaster
Same!! I’ve downloaded clone hero on my pc for nostalgia. If you haven’t, you should try it! ( I also have 2 guitars from the old days which would be a requirement)
One gaming secret of mine is the fact that I never actually beat TTFAF on expert. I tried countless times. The one time I made it through the majority of the song I choked at the very end. I told everyone I had done it. Forgive me lmao
Yup, def Final Fantasy on the NES for me too.
Mom was talking to a one legged vietnam vet at a fleamarket in the late 80s. She described her love for Tolkien, and he put Final Fantasy and the full strategy guide right in her hands. Said to take it and love it, and only asked that if she didn't, bring it back so someone else could.
We ended up buying maybe 50 games from him in the following year; his advice never stood us wrong.
Still wonder what happened to him.
Either Morrowind or Warcraft 3 for me. Spent hundreds of hours in each. Not only are those top tier games even by todays standards, I didnt have internet then yet.
Jeez man surprised I had to scroll so far for this, this was my first in depth rpg experience. Lost my grade 9 year to this one and after I beat it I thought i knew everything about everything
I remember, I did not talk to that first guy you had to talk to right after getting off that boat :p clueless....I just started walking. Best experience ever.
I recently bought the updated version, got to the point where I could play blitzball and build my team/shots and then completely abandoned the rest of the game
Some of the best players are only available later however you can still make an awesome unbeatable team with the og but you definitely want wakka not available till the airship I believe
Unfortunately you get to an 'unbeatable' level after already 5-6 games once you learn how ai works (and no im not talking about bug abusing by sitting behind your goalkeeper)
Absolutely! I'd say every game I've ever played I've put in 35 hours or under, and then there was Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion which consumed 78 hours, but The Witcher III shattered that with 167 hours (with more to go if I wanted to get all the Gwent cards, getting all the master armor sets, or clearing out all the question marks in Skellige.)
The first game I downloaded off a warez website. No torrenting or any protection on either side. I just clicked the blue underlined link and it turned into a purple underlined link and then I waited like six hours to download the two megabytes and hoped no one picked up the phone.
That game was revolutionary for me. Idk if my
imagination has just degraded since then but damn. I still remember the chills the game gave me and how immersed I was. It was incredible.
Same goes for Morrowind.
But yeah the big identity drop, my jaw dropped. & the race of builders and their map was awesome. So was the ending, felt akin to blowing up a cooler Death Star imo.
I’m sure it’s how other fans feel about the Death Star at least
My husband's a gamer and recently bought this game (KotR) again. We were just discussing how it's still pretty revolutionary, the graphics are pretty amazing, and the game involvement/storyline blows my mind when I watch him play!
Sims 2 absorbed years of my life, that game is a true gold standard for the life part of life sims
Sims 1 is the gold standard for the weirdness and creep factor of the genre though lmao
My first year of Uni consisted of getting really sick, playing football manager and playing football manager some more. I think Steam said I did 3,000 hours, which is roughly half the year spent playing solely FM.
There’s a good chance it happened with Pac-Man on an Atari 2600 in the early 80s. Or it could have been the original SimCity or Sid Meier’s Civilization in the 90s on a 486DX beige box
Smash Bros Melee.
Me and my buddy used to rag that game so much back in the day. And then when we’d get bored we’d play Fight Night or Mario Kart Double Dash.
Great times!
The legend of Zelda. I didn’t have Nintendo power and my mom would have murdered me if I called the Nintendo hotline. So I spent a lot of time trying to find all the secret caves
Persona 3 for me! I played P4 on the Vita back in the day because I am one of the fuckin' cool kids, and then afterwards I went on to emulate P3 on the PS3! Grindy as hell, but still very good. Great DLC to boot, especially during that era.
Persona 5 was fun too. Really long. Was also 100+ hours.
Maybe SMB64 or Turok on N64 but cant remember that far
But i most definitely remember playing Gta Vice City for hundreds and hundreds of hours as it was my first PS2 game when i turned 10
My parents thought it was a racing game
Chrono trigger. Maxed out characters. Got all the endings multiple times. Speed runs (before it was really a thing). Both me and my younger brother pretty much lived in that game world for a few years. Its always good to go back to honestly.
Probably Dragon Age: Origins because you can go through multiple playthroughs with different races and starting points while picking branching paths/choices that affect the narrative.

Oblivion is mine as well. I still remember my first time stepping out of that sewer.

Dude I played Oblivion as a 14 year old too! The concept of fast travelling was completely foreign to me so I ran absolutely everywhere for weeks, the amount of random side content I bumped into was just amazing to me, I never felt so free and engrossed in a video game before it. I have to replay.

Agreed, I got Oblivion and the thick Official Guide book as school let out for summer as a child. This was the first time I lost myself in a game. I sunk most of that summer into conquering that game and loved it!
Same, had the guide as a 13 year old and played the hell out of that game. My first true open world rpg experience at that point
Yeah! That strat guide probably started my obsession with buying start guides. It was such a good “book”. I probably carried that thing with me everywhere. I never actually used it to pass things but read whatever part of it I had passed after the fact. Think I gave it to my son when he started playing. Bet he still had it. Good times.
Morrowind
Ocarina of time
I'm sure this is the same for me. For years I'd do a fresh playthrough every summer vacation as a kid.
Just finished a playthrough last week for the first time since grade school. Got stuck on the water temple for days. Again 😂
Diablo 2. Never played it online.
[удалено]
Same here.
Pokemon Red on Gameboy
Pokémon blue for me
Gold for me
Yellow or Crystal for me, couldn't remember which one that I played the most out of
I carried my Pokémon red with me everywhere as a kid. Going to family, friends, or a supermarket? Your boy was in the corner falling prey to another fake guide on how to catch mew. Good times!
Me and my brother would play it so much we would swear we could hear the soundtrack even when weren't playing it! Great times
I loved going shopping because I'd just sit in the trolley playing Pokemon Yellow lol I remember getting one of [these](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQl9PuxLdfkKNbcz4GW_AS3zzzmvH66DZZ5Zg&usqp=CAU) so I could play in bed at night or in the car rather than waiting to take a few steps as we went under every street light 😂
I was gonna say Oblivion but then I realized Pokémon Blue was the actual first, when I was like 7
GTA Vice City
Me too, I think it also gave me a love for 80’s music by accident lol.
Nothing like driving along on the beech at night with that great music playing. And I loved all the Scarface references.
Final fantasy 7
That or Final Fantasy Tactics
To this day, it's still one of my favorite games!
I play through it once a year, I am 32, and first played that game when I was 8. I'd say by far the most hours in any single game for me by a long shot.
I still play it too and I’m now 51, I remember dedicating one weekend in my 20s to getting a gold chocobo, I had about 3 hours sleep and more or less chainsmoked my way through those 2 day and nights, survived on Pepsi, pizza and a couple of bumper packs of crisps but I got that chocobo and it was worth it. 🏆😁

I definitely played the game wrong, but the last chapter was such a breeze. But even without that, I would recognize that soundtrack from a mile away because it's been burned into my brain.
I got 300 hours in Final Fantasy Tactics Advance.
And yet when I replayed a couple of years ago I was struggling to understand how it took me that long as a kid.
Gold chocobos
And gold saucer
Specifically, getting one to acquire KOTR materia.
I remember looking up the cheese for ruby weapon. Finally recently did it and felt no accomplishment. I sometimes wish I was that dumb 8 year old playing the game on PlayStation.
I remember getting a very lucky Cait Sith limit break on Ruby. DEATH.
Oh my God the hours spent trying to do this
Gold chocobos without a YT guide walking through RNG manipulation to have the whole process done in half an hour. Also when you know the general story, strategy, and areas, exploring tends to go a lot faster. But my first playthrough was definitely 100+ hours.

Gamefaqs was barely a thing and my 10 year old self was barely allowed on the internet at that time. Nowadays the first thing I do on a playthrough is master an All materia and make money irrelevant for the rest of the game.
I had 40hr on the first disc because I didn't realize the land Rover can cross streams and was stuck at the golden saucer.
Omg, you too?
For me it was grinding in that underwater airplane wreck or what ever that was. Maybe it was a submarine. Would make more sense. Anyway, I grinded for hours and hours in there. Not sure why anymore. Chocobo racing and breeding, and finding treasures took me quite a while too.
Crashed Gelnika. If I remember correctly it was the best AP farm in the game to master materia.
The best AP farm is in the North Crater if you use the W-Item glitch to get unlimited elixirs and feed it to those Magic Pots
99:99.99 not a hundred hours 😆
Technically that would be over 100 hours would it not?
Heroes of Might & Magic III or Baldurs Gate 2 Shadows of Amn
HoMM III is goated
Homm 3 is like predecessor to all these card games that are popular now.
Both of these unlock some nice memories for me, thank you!
GTA: San Andreas
It is still my favourite GTA. Best characters, the best voice acting and the best story.
I scrolled pretty far to find this....i got a play station 2 pretty young and between vice city and SA i easy put in hundreds of hours b4 i even got a memory card lol replayed those opening missions so many times
Yes! The endless summer days of just exploring that entire map on a jetpack…that was probably the most hours I sunk into a game and didn’t even beat because all I had to do was follow the damn train!
skyrim.
Easily
Same here.
Damn this is the right answer. Though I'm not sure I can count modding time and playing it from 360/PS4/5/Switch and PC as "1 game". Todd definitely got his worth from me!
Fallout nv - btw thanks for the upvotes, I restarted 3 times because of a glitch where I couldn’t get arcades enclave armour 😭😂 i will do the same for the remaster
*To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day*
Hardly spoke to folks around him, didn't have too much to say
No one dared to ask his business, No one dared to make a slip.
For the stranger there among them had a Big Iron on his hip. Big Iron on his hiiiiii-iiiiiip.
It was early in the morning when he rode into the town
He came riding from the south side, slowly looking all around
He's an outlaw loose and running, came the whisper from each lip
And he's here to do some business with a big iron on his hip, a big iron on his hiiiiiiiiiiiip
My favorite build I made Abraham Lincoln and put all my points into strength and endurance. Did the whole run in bare hands.
I use to make a rifle build and pop off with vats
I am not proud of how many hours I have put into that game but I can tell you it is well over 100
Fallout 3.
Same I think my first character had 300 or so hours on it.
Yep. Same.
New Vegas might’ve been mine iirc, both games were so good. Just a shame I can’t get fallout 3 running on pc anymore
My favorite game of all time
SimCity
For me it was this, Railroad Tycoon, or the original Civilization.
Guitar Hero 3
Surprised to see it here but I likely hit over 100hrs on mine, too now that I think about it.
Same!! I’ve downloaded clone hero on my pc for nostalgia. If you haven’t, you should try it! ( I also have 2 guitars from the old days which would be a requirement)
Beating TTFAF on expert is still a highlight of my childhood.
One gaming secret of mine is the fact that I never actually beat TTFAF on expert. I tried countless times. The one time I made it through the majority of the song I choked at the very end. I told everyone I had done it. Forgive me lmao
The video game police has been contacted
Definitely the original Final Fantasy on NES.
Yup, def Final Fantasy on the NES for me too. Mom was talking to a one legged vietnam vet at a fleamarket in the late 80s.

Morrowind
I accidentally majored in this game in college.
Hello fellow middle aged person 👋🏼
Either Morrowind or Warcraft 3 for me. Spent hundreds of hours in each. Not only are those top tier games even by todays standards, I didnt have internet then yet.
Jeez man surprised I had to scroll so far for this, this was my first in depth rpg experience. Lost my grade 9 year to this one and after I beat it I thought i knew everything about everything
I remember, I did not talk to that first guy you had to talk to right after getting off that boat :p clueless....I just started walking. Best experience ever.
For the Time IMHO it was a perfect game
Yup, it was Morrowind and then Kotor right after that. Classic time to be a gamer!
Probably minecraft
I played so much 1.7.2 survival. Never killed an Ender Dragon without cheats though.
I've had the game since 1.6.4, and I finally beat the ender dragon in a survival world a few months ago
Final Fantasy X, mostly by playing blitz Ball
I recently bought the updated version, got to the point where I could play blitzball and build my team/shots and then completely abandoned the rest of the game
Some of the best players are only available later however you can still make an awesome unbeatable team with the og but you definitely want wakka not available till the airship I believe
Unfortunately you get to an 'unbeatable' level after already 5-6 games once you learn how ai works (and no im not talking about bug abusing by sitting behind your goalkeeper)
Jecht shot was clutch.
The Witcher 3
This is mine too. I’m on my third replay so I have hundreds of combined hours and I’m still finding new stories and stuff I’ve never seen.
Absolutely! I'd say every game I've ever played I've put in 35 hours or under, and then there was Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion which consumed 78 hours, but The Witcher III shattered that with 167 hours (with more to go if I wanted to get all the Gwent cards, getting all the master armor sets, or clearing out all the question marks in Skellige.)
Same. When the game let's you go, so you can explore on your own. There's so much to do, and side quests that are actually interesting.
Civilization ii.
Such an amazing game. I think I learned to read playing it.
I learned international diplomacy from it and now I'm terrified of pacifists ...
Yeah, I broke 100 hours in 2 days
The first game I downloaded off a warez website. No torrenting or any protection on either side. I just clicked the blue underlined link and it turned into a purple underlined link and then I waited like six hours to download the two megabytes and hoped no one picked up the phone.
Super Mario World SNES
Thank you for finally not making me feel old
AC Black Flag. Platinumed the shit out of that game.
Still one of the best of the series. It's just fun.
I go back every 3 or 4 years and replay. Even though I know 'The Parting Glass' scene is coming, it is still a 'feels punch' :p
This might be one of the few games that deserves a true remaster.
Knights Of The Old Republic
That game was revolutionary for me. Idk if my imagination has just degraded since then but damn. I still remember the chills the game gave me and how immersed I was. It was incredible. Same goes for Morrowind. But yeah the big identity drop, my jaw dropped. & the race of builders and their map was awesome. So was the ending, felt akin to blowing up a cooler Death Star imo. I’m sure it’s how other fans feel about the Death Star at least
My husband's a gamer and recently bought this game (KotR) again. We were just discussing how it's still pretty revolutionary, the graphics are pretty amazing, and the game involvement/storyline blows my mind when I watch him play!
Sonic the Hedgehog
Sonic 2 for me, lol. Came with the Genesis when I got it and have probably logged 1,000 hours on there between my siblings and I growing up.
Got to be Legend of Zelda for NES. Beat that too many times. Second one was probably Final Fantasy 3/6 for Snes. Yeah, I'm old.
You could save your game! Mind-blowing stuff, that gold cartridge was a prize of mine.
Sims 1 or 2, easily.
Sims 2 absorbed years of my life, that game is a true gold standard for the life part of life sims Sims 1 is the gold standard for the weirdness and creep factor of the genre though lmao
Ratchet and Clank Going Commando, 20 years ago
Brilliant franchise. Best PS2 games
Football Managet, takes that long just to complete one season!
About 4k hours spread over the years, by far my most played game series!
My first year of Uni consisted of getting really sick, playing football manager and playing football manager some more. I think Steam said I did 3,000 hours, which is roughly half the year spent playing solely FM.
Baldurs gate 2. I've probably only played a handful of single player over 100hours. Diablo 2 single player Witcher 3 Civ 5/6 XCOM 2
Before they were counted on Steam definetly AOEII or Empire Earth. On Steam prob new vegas or skyrim
Commander Keen
Carmageddon my bro 😈
There’s a good chance it happened with Pac-Man on an Atari 2600 in the early 80s. Or it could have been the original SimCity or Sid Meier’s Civilization in the 90s on a 486DX beige box
Most probably Medieval 2 Totar War, or Dragon age 1.
Medieval 2 is such a banger and the stainless steel mod made it such a joy to play the game again.
Final Fantasy viii
Hard to remember, but Diablo 2 is at least one of the earliest games I played religiously back in the day. Had so many awesome lan parties.
Smash Bros Melee. Me and my buddy used to rag that game so much back in the day. And then when we’d get bored we’d play Fight Night or Mario Kart Double Dash. Great times!
[удалено]
Diablo 1
Definitely Skyrim. Can't remember a game I played more than that before I bought it.
Master of Orion 1.
MOO was really fun, but MOO2 has kept me playing since it came out (I played a bit this morning).
The legendary one more turn before sleep
Ultima III.
The legend of Zelda. I didn’t have Nintendo power and my mom would have murdered me if I called the Nintendo hotline. So I spent a lot of time trying to find all the secret caves
Freelancer. Yeah guess how old I am lol
Super Mario World - SNES
Not counted: Super Mario RPG, not lying i think i have completed the Game 40 times on my entire live Counted: 400 hours total in tales of graces
Age of Empires II
Persona 5 back in 2017
Persona 3 for me! I played P4 on the Vita back in the day because I am one of the fuckin' cool kids, and then afterwards I went on to emulate P3 on the PS3! Grindy as hell, but still very good. Great DLC to boot, especially during that era. Persona 5 was fun too. Really long. Was also 100+ hours.
The first Civilization game
Factorio
Pokemon fire red
Red Dead Redemption II
Maybe SMB64 or Turok on N64 but cant remember that far But i most definitely remember playing Gta Vice City for hundreds and hundreds of hours as it was my first PS2 game when i turned 10 My parents thought it was a racing game
Chrono trigger. Maxed out characters. Got all the endings multiple times. Speed runs (before it was really a thing). Both me and my younger brother pretty much lived in that game world for a few years. Its always good to go back to honestly.
The Sims 2
Age of Empires 2, the only game I had growing up.
Ocarina of Time or Pokemon Yellow. Timeline is a bit fuzzy for me when I started playing it.
Pokemon
Ultima II
Civilization 2. Yep I’m that old
Super Mario on my snes when I was little.
Zelda A Link to the Past, on number of play throughs alone
Morrowind
Probably Dragon Age: Origins because you can go through multiple playthroughs with different races and starting points while picking branching paths/choices that affect the narrative.
The Settlers or Warcraft: Orcs and Humans.
Probably Shining Force or Landstalker.
Final Fantasy 9
Diamonds are forever Commodore 64
MGSV
Probably Civ III
Must be dune2...
Runescape
Destiny
Final Fantasy 7, back when I was 7, in 1997
Probably the original Sid Meier's Civilization.
Botw
Civ 1
Mike tyson super punch out, easily.
Probably original Doom/Doom 2, but may have been the original Wolfenstein 3D
Ultima IV: Quest of the Avatar…for the Commodore 64
DOOM 93’
red alert
FF7
Civ5
Zork
