Games can't exactly affect your life if you don't have one, can they? My life IS computer games, so I voted no.

Age of Empires pretty much caused me to get a 2.7 first quarter freshman year of college. Fall '98.

BF1942 was the first real computer game that I played that addicted me. It cut into my school work a little, but hey, I was still valedictorian.

Counter-Strike and Quake 3. I would be late for work way too many times because I'd be up until 3 or 4AM and my shift started at 6am. :p Ah, so much fun to be had!

MUDs (that is, text-only RPGs) back in the very early years of junior high/high school.
