Default Is Space Empires IV the Most Addictive Game Ever?

Simple question, but you have a selection of options.

Games that have been the most addictive to me.

1. Tribes (By far the most addictive game I have ever played. I still dream about it, and miss it as much as I miss my sister. {She Died})

2. SEIV. What can I say, it is simply one of those games that just keeps you coming back for more. The game is without a doubt, one of the most impressively addictive of its time. (Simply put, if GOD played PC games, SEIV would be his favorite game.)

3. Tribes 2. Loved it, still love it. Seldom play it any more. (No Broadband connection)

4. SimCity 1,2,3, and now 4.

5. BOTF/Rebellion tie.

I have to say yes... it has the longest playability of any PC game I've played.

Hmmm... According to you, shouldn't God be playing Tribes and not SEIV?

It's still too early for me to tell yet. I've just been really playing it for about 3 weeks and I'm still on the learning stage.

Addictive games for me:
Xcom:UFO
Xcom:TFTD
Xcom:Apocolypse
Diablo 1 & 2
MOO2
SMAC
Steel Panther series
Strategic Command
Fallout 1,2& Tactics
Axis & Allies

SE4 definately has the potential for me to add it to the list too.

One Of as I am very easily addicted. have to admit that i have playd it exclusively since it came out. Played SEIII, Empire Deluxe, and CIV II in the same time period so, I guess you could say "Most", not sure.

dbt1949,
hmmm, now that I think of it Axis & Allies is really close too. Especially if you count the board game. I love that game. Know it inside and out. I thought I was pretty darn good until I ran into some expert Online players in leagues like Spring 1942 . Some of those players make no mistakes! They have a great community too; albeit not as fun as this one.

SE3 was addictive. Civ2 was addictive. Star Control 2 was/is addictive. SE4G is just a fun game, not addictive.

SEIVG has got to be one of the most if not the most addicting games I have ever played. I've played some awesome games but they get old after awhile. This one I can keep coming back to over and over again. It's great!
