Counter Strike is the king of addiction of the modern games. D2, Civ/Civ2, and some of the others have a much longer span of time to play, and every game is at least somewhat unique. In CS, you play the same maps over and over, killing the same people over and over, with the same guns and the same essential tactics (bum-rushing, camping, sniping, etc) each time, but you keep coming back for more! That's addiction.
Dr Mario, Tetris, and some other similar games are equally evil. I went through 3 sets of batteries in 1 semester playing tetris on my TI-85.

Diablo, Diablo 2, Quake, Halflife and Civilation. On the weekends, Empire Deluxe over a modem (great war game with 3 ppl). For the Commodore 64, that would have to be Sword of Fargoul and Rally Speedway. Man.. I need to go to rehab.

Dungeons & Dragons anyone? That was my addiction. Back in the pencil & 20-sided dice day. Now it's Girls & Golf. I guess, though, comparing the old D&D (late '70s) to the PC games you have today is like comparing an MG-TD to an S2000...I'd probably get hooked on a stook, but I will always treasure my MG days!

After playing on-line games for a few years now, the thought of playing against the computer is boring.
The challenge of beating real people is the ultimate.

CS has to be it......... with over 10,000 servers online hosting it. There is, just something about play'n another human.
Anybody addicted to MW4?
Just a shame that the online version never took off.A Friday night ....the kids and wife are asleep. Beer, cannibi and a fast cable connection awaits. I'm gone to do a little e-kill'n

In chronological order...
Asteroids for my Atari 2600 (still works, played it yesterday) I have about 60 original Atari games and they all still work
Bionic Commando, Super Mario Bros. (orignal and #3) for the Nintendo

Metal Gear Solid, Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver, Doom, FFVII, VIII, IX, GT, GT2 for the Playstation
Mechwarrior 3 (love the UAC 20's), Combat Flight Simulator, System Shock 2 for the PC (play Mechwar 3&4 online all the time, and CFS)

All these games I still have and play from time to time when I am bored.
