Obsession was born with me.Anything I like it becomes my obsession.It dates back to my school days and started with comics then came my media video game,not to forget those handheld games,then playstation 1,and now pc.Games that r addictive r the ones that affect ur normal life.The games that really affcted me r:

1.Many games on the Media (cartridges),I used to see them in my dreams.The worst of them all was a tetris like game "Dr Virus"I used to play that with my elder brother and we wud play it for hours.It was very bad for eyes u had to concentrate so much and water flowed through our eyes after we stopped.Tetris comes a close second.

2.The handheld games also became a craze for sometime.Though i dont remember the games but they were mostly similar to the media games.They were really addictive.I remember my fingers specially thumb used to move automatically(as if tapping the buttons) while sitting idle.

3.On playstation1 there was tekken,the game which led to real fights between me and my bro.Eventhough he is about 5 yrs older than me he used to fight with me over petty things like "tu ek hi cheez baar baar maarta rehta hai".I was a real champion of tekken.There was literally no move of any player that i didnt knew.I used to practice for 3-4 hours daily.

4.Tomb Raider series:I have played all parts of tomb raider till 2000 on the PS1.Damn i hate this game.It was so boringly puzzled.For 2-3 yrs while playing this series all i had been doing was finding paths eventhough it was so frustrating but i played the game only for the sake of completing it.So when i bought my pc,i sweared to myself not to play any of the lara croft games and have followed it to date.

5.Gran taurismo on ps1,This is the only game that has affected me truly in real life.While driving either car or bike i used to be pretty much in the "Racing mode".So the turns used to be stylish and every person on the road seemed to be my competitor.So overtaking them used to be my main aim.

6.Resident Evil2-The movie was very ordinary but the game was very good.Its one of my all time favs and wud definitely come on my top 5 list.It had some true moments of scare.I remember i was playing it at night and my bro was watching.We had switched off the light and theres one scene in which many crows attack u suddenly while passing through a corridor.They come by breaking the glass of the windows and sound of breaking glass takes a hell out of u.

7.Then came pc,and guess what ,the first game i played on my pc was max payne and i was simply shellshocked by the graphics and the realism.I used to play it nonstop during my vacations pretty much the the way aj described.So i used to take breaks only for important things and that does not include food.

8.I dont think Fps games have that much of impact.SO eventhough i have played quite a lot of quake its not much of a concern.Strategy games r on the top of charts of addiction.These include the AOE, AOM but Rise of nations affected me the most.All night i used to see RON dreams and this happened only a few months back.

If not controlled it cud be fatal,so my suggestion to all friends here is try to keep it under check.One thing is its very harmfull to play games at night(Not all though)so its adviced to cut on ur night pc use asmuch as u can.like aj mentioned he used to sleep at 5am and wake at 2pm and then again started playing.So during holidays etc u cud play asmuch as u like during daytime but try not to play at night.(Damn thats so easy to say,if only i cud follow that rule myself)I think the main reason why i sit on my pc at night is net,and thats the main villain that has made me nocturnal.But i am seriously trying to cut on my pc use as it has started to affect my health specially eyes.
