Starcraft: Brood War, and although I don't play it any more, it's easily taken up 25% of all the time I've spent playing any game.

MOO2 works just fine with no need for compatability mode or emulators.
I have no idea why.
(I guess because its a simple Win95 game.)

Action Quake 2

It ate up 3 years of my life (9th - 11th grade) and I got really fat and lazy because of it. But those were some DAMN good times...

i played windwaker for so long in one position that when i got up to give my roommate a ride i fell over because rigormortis had set in. one time when i was eight years old we had an upright q-bert cabinet and i played until i peed my pants and just kept playing through. i played kotor without sleeping until i had beaten both light and dark sides. on more than one occasion i've played jungle beat until i couldnt lift up a pen afterwards.

fcuk this one game bullsiht.
