Does a game with 1000 or more hours of gameplay exist????

I think I remember reading a while ago that some people played their original games of Daggerfall into the 2000's.

I never did play that game so I wouldn't know exactly how it would work.

I know I played Arena, and later Daggerfall, for a long, long time each. It was across multiple saves though. I couldn't really say how much time each save got.

Both of those games had land masses much larger than morrowind or oblivion, which means more cities and dungeons to visit. But, on the downside, much of that content was randomly generated, using set parameters, so you wouldn't exactly be seeing brand new content for everything you'd explore.

You know, I haven't checked, but if they have those games up on gog.com, I might just go buy them, and play again. It would at least be easier than trying to get my original discs to run on windows 7 on my own 😛

edit - The only game I know I broke that many hours playing is probably the original Everquest. I spent a good 5-7 hours every weekday, and much longer on the weekends, for 6 or 7 years.

I think Arena and Daggerfall are up for free on the TES website.
 
I'd be shocked if I didn't have well over 1,000 hours in Quake 2 and Everquest, each.

Edit: Oh yeah, maybe close to that with Diablo 2 as well.

I think I’ve spent more on Quake 3.

Also I could see how doing XP/item runs in Diablo 2 could result in a ridiculous amount of hours.
 
Logged about 7k hours of WoW before I quit... only other game I can think of that I got over 1k hours in would be Wolfenstein Enemy Territory, man that game was just awesome.
