My first addiction was sonic and knuckles. as a kid the sand levels were impossible. then again so was goro in mortal kombat...if anything i was only addicted because i couldn't beat these things so i wasted my childhood trying to,
I'd have to go with pole position. I couldn't wait to go to Kmart as a kid so I could play that game. Very immersive with the steering wheel joystick and all.
Star Wars: KoTOR on the original XBox. I'm only fourteen, so XBox was pretty much my first system. I loved KoTOR. It was so much fun and I'm pissed off the The Old Republic will be a pay-to-play PC MMORG... (I have a Mac)... Then online FPS stuff is also pretty friggin' addictive...

First game was shining force. But I think ffx really screwed me up... I didn't sleep for a whole weekend playing that game. This gen its definitely Oblivion. I've pulled all-nighters for it as well.
For me it was Football Manager or Championship Manager as it was called at the time. I spent hours depriving my body of essential maintanence just so I could play one more game.
And even to this day Football Manager as it is now known still takes up a large part of my leisure-time. Truly a great, fun and highly addictive game.
I've also been addicted to various Final Fantasy titles in the past as well as Guardian Heroes on the Sega Saturn, Grand Theft Auto on various platforms and spent several long hours enthralled on the virtual battlefield playing....Battlefield on the PC.
This gen, any RPG worth running. Older systems? I can recall playing a game on an old Atari video game machine, Missile Command I think it was called. Tetris was a game I invested a lot of time in.
Freaking Pokemon Diamond. My first since Red and Blue and the nostalgia hit me like a bullet train. It was so weird, I've never been so into a game before, especially something as cutesy as pokemon. I was tranced into playing into the wee hours of the night for like a month straight. I've since been able to put it down but the amount of addiction it brought was so unusual to me....something about it.... lol
Probable Shenmue on Dreamcast. Before I just played game casually. But when I got Shenmue, I got addicted and beat it in two days. Barely and slept for like 4-5 hours.
Pokemon and an MMORPG called Maplestory, but more Maplestory than Pokemon. I could not stop playing Pokemon, and when I was introduced to Maplestory, I played for hours a day and sometimes didn't feel like hanging out with my friends so I could play more. It was scary. I've quit, but I look on the website and some of the forums from time to time.

Release the original on the 360!), o and everyone loves tetris.
Well ..this should will probably make eyeballs roll and get a few laughs, and most definitely show my age, but back when dinosaurs roamed the earth (kidding), I couldn't get enough of playing a game called Breakout. In fact, at that time, everyone who I worked with was also hooked. Fortunately, the tavern across the street had a table console where we became regular customers. Now granted, it wasn't just for the beer mind you!
I think the first game I ever got addicted too, and it's damn hard to get me addicted to anything (My friends have tried) would have to be Super Mario World. That game was god-like, I remember killing hours upon hours just pouring attention into that game, all I have left of the game now is wonderful memories of a fun as hell childhood. I'm pretty sure by now I am able to beat most of the game just crouched without getting up.
