The longest time playing an Amiga game?

[Harrison]

What is the longest time you have ever spent playing an Amiga game in one sitting?

For me the game had to be Eye of the Beholder 2 or Frontier: Elite 2 and I must have spent at least 10 hours in one sitting playing Frontier at some point.

I think for me, the longest I ever sat there was six hours playing wings. I then thought, I should probably back these disks up...then when I went to back them up, they corrupted!

[Harrison]

The story in Wings definitely can draw you in and make you want to keep playing to see the next part of the journal. Great game.

Must have been really sad suddenly realising such a great game was corrupted.

[Submeg]

Sad, and then I decided to want to destroy something...

Elite.

For me, the longest sitting I remember doing was about 17 hours playing Curse of the Azure Bonds. A game that I managed to complete in just 2 sittings.

After that, I guess it would possibly be Elvira: Mistress of the Dark (although half that was spent looking at the box )

EOBII and Civilization must be the longest sessions.
Wouldn't like to think about how long in a single session.

That is also a great game, and a sequel to Pool of Radiance. Champions of Krynn (which I mentioned in the first games I completed topic) is also by SSI and plays exactly the same way. Also great, and a game which I also finished is Buck Rogers: Countdown to Doomsday, another SSI release, but this time in a sci-fi setting.

SSI were a great RPG developer on the Amiga. Eye of the Beholder is still my favourite game from them.

Pool of Radiance was also a great game and the direct PC sequel to it, "Pools of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor", released in 2001 is another of my favourite RPGs, using a Baldur's Gate style 3D engine. If you haven't tried this PC sequel I highly recommend it as it also using the same AD&D 3rd edition rules as BG and is very good, but do make sure you patch it with the latest available patch as it was quite unstable until the last patches were released.

Almost positive it was Bullfrog's Powermonger. 7-8 hours in one session, at the least. That game was just incredible ... great atmosphere, well-tuned difficulty, excellent visuals. Even to this day, I haven't found a wargame that matches Powermonger when it comes to atmosphere - that's saying a lot, I think. Another game I remember spending obscene amounts of time on was Frontier.

It's funny ... nowadays, I find myself hard-pressed to play any one game for longer than an hour before wanting to switch it off and do something else, whereas in the past, there were dozens of games that kept me playing for hours on end. A sign of changing interests? Or are games nowadays simply less compelling?
