Your guilty gaming pleasure

Most of us on these forums have been gaming for decades. Just looking at my own gaming history made me realise that I have been playing video games for over 25 years. That made me wonder, with most of us having been/ turned into semi serious adults, what are or have been your guilty gaming pleasures? What silly games have you been secretly enjoying besides hardcore raiding, finishing Dark Souls blindfolded, full on PVPing etc.? Have you been frolicking around with your night elf hunter collecting pets, Have you been pestering your Facebook friends just to get further with Farmville? It can be any game from any era, just something you would not brag about to your friends.
I'll go first. Ever since the GBA era I have been secretly enjoying the Pokemon rpgs on handhelds and gamecube, they are just so entertaining and have very solid mechanics. Also, lately I have been spending a bit too much time with Nonstop Knight during lunch breaks ed.
So tell me, what are your guilty gaming pleasures, single or multi player, new or old? I am really curious.
/Cheers,
Lahnmir

It's a childish series almost completely lacking in meaningful gameplay so I shouldn't really enjoy it, but I find that building new houses is extremely satisfying. Its a shame that you are extremely restricted in what you can build (like lack of curved walls) and the amount of items used for decoration and EA has a horrendous DLC / expansion policy.
Candy Crush
So, i'm a smoker. After work, I like a "proper" smoke. Whilst I'm stood outside smoking for 15-20 minutes, I like to play mobile games. Sadly, mobile games suck balls, on top of which I have a windows phone which has a tiny app store. But, candy crush is the perfect game for playing which having a jib. The 5 lives you get almost always matches the time I have available whilst having a smoke, the levels never seem to end so I haven't completed it. Most levels have no time limit so I can pause for a drag whenever I want.
Moonwalker (a game where you played Michael Jackson as a main), I got a zip file from internet, then I played it on PC, lol...
Knight Online, one of the MMO that had best graphics at its time.
When you don't want the truth, you will make up your own truth.
I've never played anything I couldn't take seriously, even going back to my arcade days I played combat oriented titles and eschewd games such as Pac Man. Did love Donkey Kong for a spell, but I was hitting things and trying to kill him so all good.
Even now despite owning a smart phone and IPAD I'm not interested in playing "games" and still looking for a good time waster I would enjoy.

Playing games while not taking them seriously would just be a waste of time imo. I think there is a pretty big distinction there.

I was playing Sony's Free Realms until it closed. Pointless, easy play and fun stuff. Great for chilling out.
These days I bounce from one non-sense game to another. At the moment it is The Curious Expedition. Aurora Kingdoms is another no brainer mmorpg with cute graphics and easy game play.
Not that I am a perv, I get my kids to play with me =p

Redneck Rampage - had to give it up because it would not play on modern versions of Windows. Ever play a game where you could alert your enemies to your location by farting? YEEHAW!
City of Heroes - I used to spend hours and hours just rounding up bad guys on my Inv/SS tanker and dragging them near the Atlas Park entry. They could not hurt me, even if I fell asleep. Then I would call for newbs to come and get free XP! At that time, you could hold agro on up to 110 bad guys, beyond that they would drop off of the graphics and reset. As long as I did not do any damage, they were free XP for anyone that killed them. The newbs would fire into the crowds, get dozens of kills and level like popcorn on the stove.
Rise of the Triad, the one from the early 90s. That game was so damn much fun, and you never stopped laughing! I played it well into the 2000s even though the graphics were Doom 1 level. Most games have God mode? This game went over the top with it, wings and glowiness and angelic music done Frank Zappa style... And they had... DOG MODE! A perfect match for a Glad Dog! Howling at the bad guys was certain death for them.
Honarable mention to a game called BLOOD using the Duke Nukem 3D engine. You got points for killing bad guys and lost them for killing innocent bystanders. There was one map that was a carnival, and there were lots of carnies there. One time I went around a corner and shot a mime. I was horrified, but then realized I didn't lose any points, and my character said, "I hate mimes." So I perma saved that map and quite often went on a mime killing spree!
The world is going to the dogs, which is just how I planned it!
funnily enough I also love moba's, especially their character design. The learning curve and tactics required easily trump some of the deepest rts and mmo games. But true, their communities completely destroyed my chance of playing them again, what a cesspool.
Thanks for the games mentioned! I might check out the N64 a bit more and see if it can keep my interest. I am sure the wife wouldn't mind yet another retro console in our household

Kyleran: "Now there's the real trick, learning to accept and enjoy a game for what it offers rather than pass on what might be a great playing experience because it lacks a few features you prefer."
John Henry Newman: "A man would do nothing if he waited until he could do it so well that no one could find fault."

LacedOpium: "So the question that begs to be asked is, if you are not interested in the game mechanics that define the MMORPG genre, then why are you playing an MMORPG?"
I always wanted to play on a perspective of an ordinary Footman in a battalion. Pillaging villages and raiding caravans, micromanagement and defending castles/towns/villages are what drives me to keep playing this game even after I conquered the whole continent.
