South Korea is a great place. No doubt will be in the top 5 best nations to live in in a few short decades.

I seem to recall something similar happening in South East Asia last year sometime, the shop owners were putting amphetamines in the water to make people play longer, some guy ended up dyng.

leisure suit and king's quest were cool.. but I don't know.. the nostalgia runs deep with bard's tale... I think it was probably the first game I got hooked on in a big way that was a little world unto itself.. and the tie in with ultima - "skara brae" (ultima IV is my other all time favorite) after playing alley cat, thexter, moonpatrol and all that the old role playing games just seemed to kick it.

bhutocracy · 10-09-2002, 11:26 PM

I wonder how can a man play for non stop 86 hours.

NameCritic · 10-10-2002, 01:59 AM

Thats as long as he played and it killed him? Damn, I'm a survivor.

Chances are he was playing http://www.ragnarok.co.kr/ or Legionary (I think that's the name). MMoRPG's are insanely popular in South Korea. You can get your ass kicekd in real life at these pc cafe's if you cheat or act like a asshole in the game.

I have a friend who played Ragnarok for almost a week straight once with minimal breaks (bathroom, eating, a bit of sleep).
