Most played games of all time
Discussion
Mine would be TFC (team fortress, an online half life mod). Played it for years, and thousands of hours online, without ever getting bored. Only stopped when the last of the 2000 servers dried up, as players moved on to other games. Cost to buy/play probably worked out at less than 1p per hour. RIP TFC.
Valve keep letting out rumours about Team Fortress 2, when I last read about it (about 5 years ago now) it resembled something like Battlefield 2, but 90% of the ideas that were supposed to be in TF2 have already appeared in BF2 so I guess they've gone back to the drawing board and are thinking up some other direction to take it in.

My two most played Atari ST games were Barbarian...
And super sprint
And commando on the C64.
Stunt Car Racer on the Amiga!
Also on the Amiga, Iron Man's Super off Road
Note the automotive theme

Post 1.5, it was still possible to straff jump, and if you put in the hours practising, you could get the HW guy up to any speed (except medic/scout) Oh the memories
Conc jumps ruled prior to 1.5 though... battlement to battlement on 2Fort in the blink of a eye Things slowed down so much after that it just wasn't the same game and that's before you even get into the rampant cheating in the immediate aftermath (fakeloss cheat anyone!) or the fact that Valve forced a change to the min specs and some of the people I used to play with couldn't anymore... All a long time ago now though

I used to have this Ironman Ivan Stewart's Super Off Road...! Cool.
Most played for me must be the following... :
Indianapolis 500 on the PC (30+fps even on my i286-12 and cool AdLib soundcard support)
4D Sports Driving on the PC (only went well when I got my i486DX2-66)
Indycar Racing "I'm Paul Page, from Papyrus. This is Indycar Racing"...
Rally Trophy. Ran great on my GeForce2 powered PII-400.
Now it's Gran Turismo (all of them) on PSX and PS2.
GTA Vice City and San Andreas although the latter harder to get into due to lack of 80's cheese.

[brag mode]I was accused of cheating in most games, not that I ever cheated, I just played far too much [/brag] Its only a game, but it felt bloody good getting into your groove after 8 hours play for the umpteenth night in a row and being able to jump round any corner playing any class, and waste 3-4 players plus a few sentries, grab the flag, and kill the same 3-4 players as they respawned on my way back to base

I miss those servers. It has a lot to do with age, the fact that I spend my time doing other things now, but it'll never be the same. And I'll never enjoy a game again as much as I enjoyed TFC. My hard core gaming days are.. snivel, sob, cry... over.
