For me, the Civilization V intro, lots of lan parties and online sessions where we suddenly found ourselves playing while the birds were waking up to the mørning sun outside our window.
Just one more turn!
You reminded me of the one and only time my friend and her husband and I played all night long on Civ V. Such a fun experience.
I really want that feel again. I’ve never played DnD or tabletops like that but that’s what I feel like that feeling is comparable to, playing endlessly all night with IRL friends.
I don't even remember the name of the game, but it was a gba game where you played as a blacksmith and you had to craft your own weapons and go down some mine to collect materials and progress the story. I was 18yo at the time, had just started living alone, didn't have internet or TV or anything to do. Downloaded that game at work then went home to play it and suddenly I had to leave for work again. It was the first time I stayed up all night playing something. I remember dozing off that next day and even writing stuff about swords in the middle of some work documents.
Summon Night: Swordcraft Story?
Yep!
Halo CE, BF2 and WoW
Civilization IV
Baba Yetu is such a banger
The PlayStation 2 intro. I never had one and still haven’t even all these years later, but that was a console I’d play at my cousins’ houses and we would often play late into the next morning. Hearing that intro is pure nostalgia to the highest degree. Since we didn’t have it at our house, it was even more so the reason to play so late on a weekend.
I remember being obsessed with Sims Bustin’ Out and that was one of a few games we’d play late. That or one of the GTAs like III or Vice City and then I was able to sneak San Andreas for myself on Xbox and that was a game I played a lot too.
Spent sooooo many hours as a kid playing Wing Commander: Prophecy. I still have dreams about the missions and the video cut scenes. Picked it up on GOG about a year ago and the controls sceme was still in my muscle memory.
For me it was the Star Wars Rebellion main menu. I played that game tons back in the day on a PC that couldn't handle much more. Starting it up locked me into just wanting to finish a game in one night.
Loved that game!
I actually recently bought it on CD after both the Steam and GOG versions gave me visual glitches. It's really great even if the enemy AI has infinite resource cheats.
Definitely tf2
Usually community servers are empty but pub players are practically infinite
Definitely the Ocarina of Time intro for me. It was the first game to give me a real sense of adventure as a kid, and that theme song remains forever burned into my memory.
Guild wars 1
Command and conquer : red alert
Diablo (the original)
Hands down, the Descent 2 PC/DOS intro, game released in 1996. They were ahead of their time, awesome game still to this day in my book.
Breath of the Wild.. so many nights were spent lying in bed playing that game until I heard birdsong! 😅
Minecraft, satisfactory, factorio are ones that come to mind that keep me up too late as an adult. The TES games are ones I remember from my childhood. Morrowind was my jam back in the day, as was NWN.
Minecraft, though it's because I usually open it after sunrise if I'm still awake. most of the time if I'm up all night I'm really deep into surfing the web to the point of like, obscure sites about aliens or something.

The opening rant of Kaine refers to something in the late game and it's soulcrushing, but I love it and how they chose to scream at you on the first launch of the game when you don't even know who's speaking. That sets the tone.
First Gran Turismo.
Devil May Cry
Whenever I hear any sound from that game, I am immediately triggered in remembering the from dusk till dawn game nights me and a friend had. Hearing the birds sing was a sign we had to maybe stop and get some sleep. Biking home through the city while the sun rises after a game binge night was surreal.

None. I get hit hard by melatonin and can’t stay up no matter how jazzed I am playing a game. Latest for me was probably like 1:30a and Resident Evil or Tomb Raider. I do remember sleep overs where a friend was still playing when I woke up. Don’t remember the game though … probably Final Fantasy VII.
Civ 3,4,5 for one ...more... turn. Or for the PlayStation boot sequence loading into MG:S for the 14th play-through.
Starcraft 1 & Warcraft 2
Resident Evil
none. staying up past sunrise is insane. even for work
