Anyone else addicted to games on the computer? Between spider solitaire
and a game I installed called Mahjong I spend hours playing. It sometimes drives my crazy because I can't stop playing them!

The latest; Mahjong is a game where you match tiles and try to get all of them off the screen. I always say: "This is my last game" and then when I lose, because I mostly lose, I click "Play again" and I'm off to the races again.

It is nuts! I don't get things done because I am trying to match tiles on my computer! I used to play Spider solitaire all the time but now I'm down to a few games/day because I'm busy with the Mahjong. I blame it all on my mother because she is the one who turned me on to them.

2. I used to be addicted to Warcraft
It's worse than crack. Even though I haven't played it in a long time I still have withdrawl symptoms.

13. Everquest 2 for me
but it's the same deal. I finally quit when I realized how much time I was wasting and that I wasn't really having that much fun. I still miss it sometimes though...

8. I've been playing Triple Free Cell
yup, 3 decks of cards. It's like unraveling a Gordian Knot. The other one that eats my time is Alchemy.

11. I too was an addict
About a week ago, I erased all games off my laptop because I couldn't stop at just one game. I'd waste hours. My average for 2 suit spider solitaire was about 21%. When I first started it was much lower.

20. You want to become totally addicted?
Go visit Pogo.com. Lots of addictive games there. I'm hooked on First-Class Solitare.
