Hi, Boomers

This thread is for informational purposes as..I would like to know "What Game You Think Is The Longest You Ever Played"

For me it was the Longest Journey...

Thanks For Taking The Time To Reply..

Either The Longest Journey or Culpa Innata.

Sherlock Holmes: Case of the Rose Tattoo was pretty long -- longer than The Longest Journey because it was more difficult.

Black Dahlia, Pandora Directive, or Discworld, I think.

Of games of recent vintage, 80 Days was about the longest. The Pandora Directive, in its unhinted mode, was one of the longest of the older games, but I'd say that Lighthouse would be the all-time champion.

For me, it was the Feeble Files. But I didn't finish TLJ.

And I didn't finish Feeble Files, although I liked it a lot. I couldn't get past the arcade games.

Uru: Complete Chronicles.

The Longest Journey.

I think I would agree The Longest Journey or Black Dahlia is probably the longest ones I can remember of the PC games.

But, it seemed to me when I first started playing games, I played the original Zelda on Nintendo and when I finally got to the big boss and beat it pretty easily and was congratulating myself.....I found out that you had to play the whole quest over again in order to win. Oh my, that seemed sooooo long, but I still loved it and still think of it as one of my favorite games. Don't know if I could play it all again, reflexes aren't as fast!

TLJ of course and let's not forget Jack Keane.

Hi

Just a thought .... But are we all measuring length in the same way ??

Before walkthroughs were available I could spend weeks solving just one puzzle - which made some of those early games very long indeed

Cheers.

The first game that came to mind for me was Black Dahlia, but maybe that was because the puzzles were so darn hard!

For me Riven and Uru Ages of Myst Chronicles...those 2 took me the longest to play...and it was because sometimes it tooke me forever to figure out what needed to be done and sometimes because i just wanted to really take my time and savour the game (especially Riven--such a beautiful game and the music outstanding!).

Ok....

Let me clarify..What I mean by a long game..

Long game for me is when "I look at a WT & it takes a long time to scroll to the end"

Hard puzzles or the lenght of time it takes to solve it doesn't count

It's not the game, it's the length of the walkthrough? I hadn't thought of that!

Definatelly the Longest journey... It was really the longest journey

Dar, if I've read your post well, the length of the game is determined by the person who wrote the WT?

Hi, Bernard

Well...You could put it like that...BUT if you go to MaG's WT on the Longest Journey...It takes a longggg time to scroll to the end..

Dear Dar,

so if a write an epical WT for a short game, explaining all the ins and outs, you would consider the game to be long? For me the longest games are the ones that don't interest me and seem to go on and on forever. If a game is interesting, it's always too short!

Myst, Myst exile, myst-was forever- endlessly long ...involving but long...ok which is not bad ... zzzzzz but oh ok very continuous game....

Well, that's new one on me !!

Measuring the length of a game by the length of the walkthrough ??

how about both lol

Well.
I think if a WT is only 4 paragraphs long..That to me is not a long game....

Long game for me is when you have to visit vast areas in a game or you have to do many things..

MaD ...Please don't go insane

Darleen, I have known some walkthroughs to be short but the ame takes quite some time to play sooooo is it a long game or a short game?????

To me the amount of time to play through a game should be what counts as a long game. Like URU the Complete Chronicles, that was a long game and a lot of places to go and things to do! Although the Longest Journey was also a long game for the same reasons!
