I was playing Fallout yesterday, mainly just wandering around. Did a few quests and collected a few Nuka Quantums along the way. I looked at the time and I'd been playing solidly for 5 hours!

I was the same with Champ Man I'd keep telling myself "One more game" and we'd win well, so I'd think "better not leave when I'm on a roll", then it would end up a week before the transfer window, then I'd have to buy the players I wanted then save it... But then I'd want to see how they new players do, and it went on like that

I also did the same on the first Gran Tursimo, I was seeing how many cars I could win. I played for 12 hours and when I finally went to bed all I could hear was engines

Champ Man was fucking unreal for this

I would regularly lose 2 days a week i.e. 48 hours every week I would stay up until my old man got up for work and snuck upstairs into my bed, what a fucking loser thinking back now

Ultimate Soccer Manager '98 and Champ Manager, good god some days were seriously wasted on those games.

Also Goldeneye after school with 4 of us, to think I used to look forward to playing that with mates rather than going around my fit girlfriends house is desperately sad
