I know what you mean. but anyone can lose all track of time playing Zelda, it's like the best series of games ever! except for that ridiculus one for the DS

Phantom Hourglass was a pretty cool one in my opinion. But the sequel is about trains. WTF?

No offense, but I could never even imagine losing the track of time by playing such a crappy game as Zelda.

From the original Dink Smallwood description: "A humorous Zelda-like isometric RPG."

Yeah, I don't think you ever really played a Zelda game, Skull.

Dink has more bad stuff than most games, because it has too much copied from Zelda. But all the stuff and humour made by RTSoft made it pretty good.

And no, Dink is definitely not the best game around, but it's the D-Mods and creating them that keeps me interested in it.

EDIT: And also, I have never lost track of time playing Dink either.

Heh, the Zelda series gave life to bird-point-of-view games, so it's been more or less copied alright.

OT: I remember losing track of time when I played Lemmings several years ago.

Really.

What has Dink copied from Zelda? I really don't get the comparison, honestly.

I remember reading one review which said "a pinch of Zelda, a dash of Monkey Island..." ~something along those lines, which I can still get behind, but then there's also one that says Dink is a Zelda clone.

The only similarity I can readily think of that isn't completely superficial is that both games have screens. Which is still pretty superficial.

Man, who hasn't? I particulary tend to get sucked into good stories, series, games etc. and have been known not to do anything else for days in some cases.

Hmm.. 
I did like phantom hourglass, but the best zelda game is still A Link To The Past...

Anyway, I lost track of time scripting yesterday wich resulted in that I missed my training D:

*puts on Carman voice* screw you guys!
I for one think Zelda: Phantom Hourglass kicks ass! I liked having to use all the different functions of the DS< and though some weren't exactly great (like the rolling thing) it did at least register all your moves, and thus it worked out pretty well.

and I won't get judgmental about a game I haven't even seen or played. I'm sure Spirit Tracks will be cool too. Anyway, what's wrong with trains?

I keep losing track of time most of the time I play any good game... Recently, it has indeed been Fable 2 for me as well! I love that game! Right now, I'm hooked on Overlord 2 (yey, killing baby seals! )

I remember once a long time ago i was playing Half-Life in the morning. I ended up being about 20 minutes late to school lol. God I love half-life, such a great game.

Halflife is one of those games you regret never playing, like MDK2 or Earthbound. (never played. )
or even Sonic Adventure 2 Battle.
