Hmm, long thread. Maybe I'll read it at some point. Anyway, my earliest game addictions were on the Apple ][e:

- Apple Panic
- Lode Runner
- Bard's Tale II

I played each of those three many, many hours.

Defender on the Atari. Was almost at a million when for some reason my aunt unplugged it.

Played a variety of games, but never got stuck on one until Civ II(perhaps The Art of War would count earlier). First console game I couldn't stop playing was FF7.
