This article describes which games are played by pupils of the 7th and 8th grade of the Elementary schools and 1st and 2nd grade of the High schools in Istria.

For each genre there are listed examples of the most popular games. In this research the participants remained anonymous and they provided data for each genre - which games they play most often, how long they play daily. The research also went into direction to study behavior of the surveyed persons and whether some of them developed symptoms of "addiction". Over 180 pupils from 10 schools in Istria participated in this research. Received data indicates the following: Over 53,6% of pupils polled play computer games more than 120 minutes a day and 5.6% of them have developed symptoms of "addiction".
