Have you ever been addicted to a video or computer game? I am addicted to the Sims 2. I dont get to play that often, as I have two young children, but I love it. Are you or have you been addicted to a game? Why or why not?

I share the same addication as you. Way back when the sims first came out, my son wanted it so I bought it for him for christmas. I watched him and his friends play and before long, I was hooked. I have no idea why I like it so much, maybe because I can control what they do, unlike in real life.lol. I now have the sims2 and all the expansion packs. I got seasons a few weeks ago and I love it.

I haven't played a video game in years, when I used to have my amiga 600 and 1200 playstations there was a game I was hooked on and I was totally addicted and would stay up into the wee small hours, it was Galaga a shoot them up game, where you collect gems to get better weopens, it was a basic space invader type game and there were 100 levels, one night I stayed up till 5am and I managed to get up to level 100 before it went back to level 1 again but the second time round it got much harder. I wish I still had my amiga, I had hundreds of games for it, I guess the internet took over and yes I am addicted to the internet now instead!

Yea, I dont get to that often as I said I have two small children and a boyfriend who needs attention too. But I love it when I get to play which is like 2 hours a week. But I enjoy it.

I use to be addicted to a game called Doom years ago. My partner at the time and I use to go over to my sisters place every evening and weekends to play it. I think this went on for about 3-4 months..and then we just got tired of it LOL talk about a lot of restless nights thats for sure!

I am addicted to gameboy's pokemon. I played with my nephews and they always tried to grab the chance to lie their hands on the console, it is like every weekend, whoever gets their hands on the console get to play the game. We don't really play other games as much, mainly only Pokemon. I owned several pokemon cartridges, Pokemon Red, Blue, Yellow, Silver and Gold, bought a new Gameboy Advance SP, hence intented to get POkemon Crystal. Still playing MapleStory online but not as addicted as pokemon
