[Vostro]

Solitaire

[Wolf Akela]

Bought it on Steam for $20 back in April 2009. I had roughly 1500 hours before it went free. I currently have 1900 I believe.


This is now my primary game. I have around 800 matches, so roughly 400 hours.

[Zeer0id]

I hesitate to call Maple Story "entertainment", but I was certainly entertained when I played it some 6-7 years ago.

[BurritoBushido]

I'm only counting games that are free since the beginning otherwise games like CS (to be fair it was free during Steam Beta), Ragnarok Online, and Nehrim would be on the list. Only one I can think of that fit that bill for me was Gunbound (the good one, i.e. Thor's Hammer) So many fond memories from that game, anyone remember this baby right here: Shitty community, but damn was it addicting. Got me into Worms-style games.

Fuck yes.

Its a top notch bullethell thats a lot like Cave's Espgaluda games. It has a great soundtrack and its freakin' free. Don't believe me? Click the image for a video of it in action. Simply wonderful to play. It even has some harsh difficulties and a hidden final boss. They even simulated arcade machine slowdown to match the ones present in Espgaluda's which is vital to strategies used in that game as well as this one on hard modes. This is a plus in bullethells.

The author also has more games like this on their site for free as well.

Do yourself a favor everyone and DOWNLOAD this game.

[DidntKnowJack]

I dunno...Sega Swirl?

[Saroyan]

Definitely Trackmania, I played that game for hundreds of hours. One of the only online multiplayer games that I've really loved.

[bigjimmystyle]

The original America's Army. Some of the best multiplayer maps ever. And rolling a cooked nade through a ajar door on Insurgent Camp was pure, fucking win.

I was about to say RTCW but man AA was fucking awesome. Some of those maps are stained on my brain.

[Roto13]

I really love Knytt. Like, a lot.

[br0ken_shad0w]

Don't laugh, guys. TI-83 style.

It was all about Phoenix:


I was jelly of my Ti-89 friends though. They had Zelda.

[Littlegator]

Oh shit. Now I remember what game. That damn game where you play an RPG character in a webbased world that is all pencil drawings. Christ I can't remember the name. But I must have logged 2000 hours easy.

Kingdom of Loathing


It's Runescape for me. Something like 140 days logged, atm.

[DR3AM]

[Akuun]

Subspace/Continuum. Played that game to death back in the day. Still sucked at it.

[XeroSauce]

I spent a hell of a lot of time on League of Legends.

I also spent a lot of time on Gunz from Ijji, that game was bomb in highschool.

[Phaethon0017]

Tribes: Ascend, no doubt.

This. Even though I've dropped money on it. I've put 80hrs into it so it's well spent.

[Unicorn]

HOLY BALLS Yeah.

Also, doubt anyone knows about it, but Well of Souls.

[NSQuote]

Definitely Team Fortress 2. I've put 1200 hours into in the last year, and intend to enjoy many more and get into the competitive scene.

Eden's Aegis [Do yourself a favor everyone and DOWNLOAD this game.

Oh my, how have I never seen this before! Going to download them all, thank yuo so much! Love a good bullet hell.

My work here is done.
*flies away!*


*later whilst flying*
"OH SHIT BULLETS EVERYWHERE!!!"

[Fireblend]

No contest.

[zashga]

League of Legends for me. TF2 doesn't count since I bought the Orange Box.

[Aiko Heiwa]

RuneScape for me.

I'm not ashamed to admit I still log in for a few hours every week or so.

[CantSeeMyFeet]

Hello All,

Stepped in to start my first ban :)

TF2 = didn't start out as free

and how on earth didn't the best free game of all time make it in the 1st 3 pages :(





SEX

/thread

[Freakinchair]

Dota 2

[Terareflection]

Persona 4

Borrowed it from a friend so it was free for me.

Serious response would be the Space Cadet Pinball game that comes with Windows.

[lowrider007]

[Neki]

Dota 2

[shaowebb]

*trolls thread in hopes of ban*

Okaaaaaaaay...moving onto some more contributions here is a classic that eats gaf members' lives for breakfast.

Burrito Bison



Its like nanaca crash

A game where you fire your character as far as possible and bounce them higher by impacting people along the way or by hitting power ups. Unlike Nanaca crash though Burrito Bison has a cash meter that builds up and an item shop to get you better items, stats, and enemies to use to make it further until you eventually break out of the candy kingdom and make it back to the grocery store to check out!

It also has a sequel.

Apparently he forgot his wallet back there.

[Frankenstrat]

terrible

Shit man, get it together. If you're going to go for a ban, at least do it right.

On topic, I have to add RuneScape. As much derision as it may earn, it's still got great quests and can run even on the worst machine. So then, my first MMO wound up being the only one I'd ever enjoy.

[Bufbaf]

lol dammit, I wanted to post that! :D

[Giard]

Graal Online... when it was free.

[ShadowgeistX]

It was all about Phoenix: I was jelly of my Ti-89 friends though. They had Zelda.

Totally this. And the Mario game for TI-83. I made a level pack that people kept playing back in high school.

For multiplayer, TI-83 tetris couldn't be beat. I always got in trouble for playing that too.

[Magnus]

Solitaire or Znake.

Insanely stupid question:

Team Fortress 2 and other F2P games...I've assumed F2P means the client still costs money but that the game is subscription-free, that is, free to play 'online'. Does F2P actually mean the client/core game is free too?

[BabeSlayer]

Dota2 without a doubt

[fisheyes]

Totally this. And the Mario game for TI-83. I made a level pack that people kept playing back in high school. For multiplayer, TI-83 tetris couldn't be beat. I always got in trouble for playing that too.

You could get Space Invaders and Mario? Man, my whole high school experience would've been completely different had I known that.

[harSon]

Counter Strike 1.5, Ragnarok Online (Played for years within the Beta), Gunbound and Dota.

I've played them all for hundreds, upon hundreds of hours each. Gunbound probably being the lesser addiction of the bunch.

[samman6]

probably solitare, I also played a lot of Ski Free and sega swirl

[Ichor]

Unfortunately I'd probably have to say Maple Story, I played the fuck outta that game for like six years. Time wasted.

Spiral Knights was fun while I had a full party of friends playing and a large guild I started myself.

Dota 2 will probably be number one eventually, I just need to have some skill increase.

[Iacobellis]

Windows XP, I miss you dearly.

[Fjordson]

The original America's Army. Some of the best multiplayer maps ever. And rolling a cooked nade through a ajar door on Insurgent Camp was pure, fucking win.

Holy shit. I completely forgot about America's Army. Man, what an awesome game! Is the online still running with people playing?

Game was so fun. And I remember they put out an expansion basically where after you got to a certain level you got access to like special forces gear and weapons. I forget all the details, but it was pretty cool.

[dorkimoe]

Dota 2
400 hours since December.

[_woLf]

Halo 1's demo, League of Legends, Counter Strike, Katawa Shoujo

[Sethos]

Counter-Strike sure but was the really considered free? You either had to buy Half-Life or buy the Retail version.

TRUE Free to play games, I'd have to go with America's Army - Such a brilliant game in every way possible, so many hours spent in that game. I can't believe they managed to fuck up 3.0 so bad.

[Monty Mole]

Most recently:

[PetriP-TNT]

I sound like a broken record but I played Enemy Territory for 5 years nearly daily and I still play it every now and then.

[Kurita]

Since it's free now, Team Fortress 2. But I dropped it 1-2 years ago, it's not the same game I used to like anymore.
RTCW : EW, oh boy, this game was amazing. One of the best shooters ever made.
Dota 2.

[CookedChocobo]

YOOOO SON!

Fucking This!!!

[smurfx]

I sound like a broken record but I played Enemy Territory for 5 years nearly daily and I still play it every now and then.

what servers did you play at? the main ones i played at were evilsmurfs and GP.

[Bricky]

League of Legends. It's not even a F2P-shooter, which seemed to be the best genre to make F2P games in (not anymore, now that free MOBA's are crazy popular).

[twofold]

Natural Selection. I must have played 1000+ hours of that game (it was a free HL mod).

[aniki]

The most ever? Probably ChuChu Rocket.

Been a long time since I played that, though (where's the XBLA/PSN re-release, Sega?!). In the last few months, I'm probably going to have to say Triple Town.
