Just taking a guess since I didn’t have a handy app like Steam to track all my hours played – it was probably one of the following: NHL 94, Wing Commander 3, Quake, or the first Diablo.
Centipede and Space Invaders on the Atari 2600, as it’s the only two games I owned the first 6 months or so. Two of the better games on that system as well. I got so good I could play both games until the score wrapped around back to 0.
Had that system for years, my cat also used to sleep in the box I kept it in because it would get warm after hours of use. Eventually she got elderly and her bladder wasn’t that great, and well, one day my Atari 2600 met with an unfortunate accident and was no more. I miss the cat more than the console.
If we’re talking hundreds of hours, probably some early edition of Super Mario or another. I’d guess Super Mario World. Explored every tiny crevasse and did speed runs of the first level to get 99 lives.
I will never forget someone who I came across on the double xp zombie stuff. I checked his service record. His name was Plant Trees. He had 1500+xp with 1700 games played.
Elite, on the BBC micro (mid 1980s), probably, although I have no way to add up the time I spent on it. I got to Elite from scratch several times though, and that was a time commitment.
I didn’t get obsessed with a game again until Goldeneye, but that wasn’t such a time sink. Played that one through so many times listening to Greenday albums. To this day when I hear “I fucked up again it’s all my fault” I think of goldeneye.
I would use the scenario editor to make the most ridiculously one sided battles, and eventually was adding extra difficulties (“maybe my jet fighter’s missiles are broken so I can only use the gun!”) because I didn’t have anything else to play yet (DOOM was a couple years away).
