Playing a lot of Game Neverending lately, and I’m not sure why. The people I recommended it to didn’t like it. I guess it can seem pointless and stupid, but I think the same probably could be said for The Sims Online.
The game world is small, but there’s tons of secrets to learn, either by stumbling on them or, more likely, learning them from another player willing to share. And I love how real life is mirrored/distorted in the game. The biggest new thing they added recently is property ownership. But new homes come up for sale very infrequently, leaving lots of people frustrated. And on the other side, locations in the game that used to be meadows are now construction sites, making other people mad about increased development. Which is funny, considering we’re talking about pixels on a screen.
What’s the most addictive computer game you’ve ever played? Did you think about it when you were away from the computer? What made it so good (or bad, depending on your perspective)?
It’s strange you should mention that, since I stopped playing it a while ago, and then got on the playtest for The Sims Online. I’ll have to go back and check it out again.
There used to be a game called Lexi-Cross back when a 100MHz machine was blazing fast. It was captivating and WAY addictive. I’m in search of the modern version of that game and hoping I don’t find it at the same time.

The best/worst/most addictive game I’ve ever played online is Xenimus (www.xenimus.com). 3-D realtime multi-player RPG that is at turns beautiful, ruthless, infuriating, hilarious and a complete waste of time. And the guy who runs it is a brilliant programmer, dere/dem/dose yahoo, and hot redhead.
I *DID* like GNE, which was the reason I quit playing. Far too addicting. I have enough trouble keeping a life going while trodding through Neverwinter Nights, killing things and taking their stuff.
