Close, true, but at least once its loaded in a level, it's loaded in. You don't have to load for 20 seconds every time you so much as move, so 2006 is definitely the worse example.

It was calculated during a full let's play of 2006 (lasting about 21 hours) that about two and a half hours of that was pure loading. So 12.5% is loadscreens.

Bugger THAT.

Yeah I'm stumped

Glad I do like Sonic Unleashed, even if it's just for the day boards.

Actually no, Amiga / Atari ST mofo

Then DOS got interesting with DOOM and Quake

Well excuse me for not being up on the ancient dinosaurs that is the Amiga and DOS

They don't make games like they did in the old days

C64's, Amstrad CPC464's and ZX Spectrums thats the real shit

It's amazing how popular/long that C64 lasted!

Ghostbusters 2 on Amstrad CPC464 Multiload (10 min level load time) and if you Game Over you have to rewind the tape for another 10 min load or continue on another 10 mins load if you complete the level

Check Mate

I had that game, think I had it for my 286 back when though.

Hmmm she would look better aligned to either one side of the text I think that way it won't take up as much space height-wise too.

I might just have to drop one of the sentences for her to look good.

She looks good on the right!

this is insane. trying to see who has the most geek street-cred by finding out who put up with the worst load times for games is stupid.

[Zaladane]

Ok that's horrible

Didn't realize there were so many versions, found a bunch looking for the dos one.

It takes two hours for me to load Dragon Age: Origins, and one hour just to load a saved game.
The last time I played it.

You brought it up. It's safe to say you shouldn't try to compare stories of loading times with vet gamers.
