OMG... I remember ringing my friend at about 1am to tell him I'd finished it... keep in mind we were both about 10. He wasn't there, but his dad was :(

Best game ever.

For me it would have to be Yars? Revenge on the Atari 2600. I would come home from school and sit down in front of the TV playing this game for at least two hours.

I beat it at least three times.

I had that too :)

But truely addicted would be dune II or civilization

I remember being addicted to the Atari...but I don't remember any specific game...just the video games in general. The first game I remember being addicted to was Super Mario Brothers.

X-wing was the first computer game that I was addicted to...and I was really, really addicted. That game was fabulously hard.

ZZT or the Captian Kosmos(or something like that) games

captain comic?

1991 or so? that's the first non-retail game my son was hooked on (the manhole would be the first retail game). he was 3. there was something else he played around the same time.. was commander keen out yet? and a shareware mario clone. 286 w/ 40mb hard drive.. he didn't learn to read til he was 6 but he could find his floppies and knew enough dos to run the batch files that'd start 'em. heh. fun memories.

Ahh...Commander keen, thats it!!!!

quake II...I wasn't a fan of video games until I finally had a computer that could keep up.

She was a 366@550 celeron with 128 MB and V3 2000 pci
