DICE TeamThe Sims 2, after playing the old Facebook version I wanted the real thing, since then I got The Sims 3 and 4 and get to know Origin and EA games, and got familiar with many other games from all genres, such as Battlefield, Dragon Age, FIFA, Need for Speed... so basicly from one Facebook game I got to know many other games and my fav game company and become a gamer, so if this is not butterfly effect, I don't know what is
First game that really hooked?
Propably Last Ninja 3 way way back early 90's (on a C64 no less). Still amazed by the SID soundtrack by Ouwehand.
I can't really say. The amount of games i've played and replayed in the second half of the eighties and the nineties is insane. And mind you, when i say replay, think 5-10 playthroughs for the titles that i loved.
The original Sims amounted probably to many, many hours (in terms of thousands), but so did games like Civilization 1-4, Master of Orion 1/2, Heroes of M&M, the M&M RPG's and so on. Wish i could actually remember which game got me hooked, but i probably forgot about more games than many people played. Thank god for GOG, as they do remind me of some of the titles i've played.
If i would be to pick one: Phantasy Star on Master System. Loved the old series, with only the Shinning series rivaling. Sadly, a lot of titles didn't make it on the western market. But seeing the latest porting trend, i wouldn't be suprised to see those coming on PC at some point, especially with Sega announcement that they want to port more of their old console catalogue on PC (finger crossed, as that means there is hope for Valkyria Chronicles 2 and 3 to come on PC).
