Addicted to a simple computer game? Like, solitare, tetris or pacman? It is time for you to inform the world! I know someone who can't turn on his pc without playing a few games of something called "Snood", while for a while my sister was stuck on somehting called "Spider Solitare". Personally, I love Snood and a similar game called "Eggsucker". How about you?

Oooh, Snood - just a note for those who don't want to get addicted: Don't downlaod it!

Snood is sort of like Tetris except you 'shoot' these little heads (?) and try to get at least 3 touching. I love this game.

I used to be addicted to Spider Solitaire also.

Also, on the Neopets website there's a game called Destructo Match that I'm addicted to as well.

I have tried the Spider Solitaire having seen it mentioned here, I could become addicted. I still love Freecell.

I am a big fan of a game called Addiction Solitaire, and love the 3D Space Cadet Pinball. Chinky, my highest score is 22,000,000 plus- can you beat that?

I had to keep playingHearts until I got a zero score, still got the print screen of it (two of the other players with 114 and the other with 84) and have not found the urge to play it again.

So far, 34,926,250, but that was nearly two years ago. Recently can't get higher than 26 odd million. (I'm so addicted that I keep my top 50 scores in an Excel spreadsheet, and reset the high scores every so often - according to strict self-imposed rules - so I can get the buzz of getting a 'High Score' more often!)

One cute little game that's insanely addicting is Beetle Run. Have any of you guys played it? I've seriously spent hours and hours at a time trying to beat my scores.

If you want to download it, you can do it here:

Beetle Run

It's kind of like trying to get through a maze while being timed. Anyways, that's my obsessing game.

My husband purchased a Massive Multiplayer online game called Lineage II that I am completely absorbed in. You can create multiple character types (orc, dwarf, elf and human) and advance in skills and abilities. Loads of fun, plus you can play online with your friends.

any role playing (RPG) is addictive - at home, gaming was given a minimum slot of 13 hours a day. and I amnot kidding

Just play Baldurs gate- online or single.

Another addictive game is Counter-Strike (FPS)
