Computer Gaming

Ok it's time to confess all you gamers out there, what's the longest it's taken you to finish a game?
I started this one in Jan 2008 or thereabouts,
and i finished it tonight.
trouble was it needed too much grunt for my old computer to handle and kept crashing so i sorta saved it knowing i would eventually get a new computer with enough grunt to play the bugger.
I've had the new beast for a couple of weeks now and it's great I'm looking forward to playing all the games i bought that wouldn't run very well on the old machine.
Next up is Crysis.............wish me luck

I started playing Nethack in 1986. I have not beaten it.

I've beaten it twice (nethack I mean) - first with lots of savescumming (yeah i know i know) and the second time with a LOT of REALLY lucky amulets of life saving and LOTS of lucky wishes.
Dwarf Fortress has my heart lately.
