Whenever I play one of those funny guitar games on an Xbox or the like I have a weird cone shaped 'going down' effect in my vision.
i've had shit tons by shit tons of dreams from just about any game i have played, while in real life most of the time i just see writing or languages from games written o walls or from weird viewed objects from games, such as final fantasy writing or assassins creed stuff, and i always, always, look for nice sniping and cover spots like someone is about to shoot me whenever i walk around campus
I understand that one continues to see things from rhythm games a short while after they stop playing. Fortunately, this only appears to happen the first or second time a person plays the game.
I have had a dream that I was the Lich King, if it counts. One of the best dreams I've ever had, it was.

It's not a hallucination, but when I play Guitar Hero/Rock Band for a while, and look at another screen, such as a different tv or laptop right after, my eyes are still adjusting to the notes sliding at me, and the other screens start distorting.
It's sweet.
Also, I think there has been one point where I was driving down one of the streets in my town, and I could vividly imagine making it into a sandbox horror game, because I had been playing Saints Row 2.

SHUT UP AND STOP STALKING ME.
Also after playing a LOT of Morrowind, I found myself either running or walking, never anything in between. And at least one time I expected to see stats hovering over a TV.
Guitar Hero makes everything you look at slowly move upwards for about 5 minutes after you stop playing.
Many years ago, I had a two week marathon of MarioKart. I needed to get out of the house for a bit, and every time I tried to turn around I thought I was going to drift sideways.
Also, after a lot of FFX a while back, I was seeing the little circles from the level up thingy in my sleep.

Guitar Hero. Is Evil. For This.
I stood up, the whole room started floating upwards, myself included. I looked out of my bedroom window, it looked like I was 6 floors up. I was nearly sick.

I just finished a self imposed Castle Crashers marathon. (Don't ask)
I'm currently thinking that my dog is floating and I feel the need to smash things more than I usually do. Also, I feel short and angry.

I have never experienced the tetris effect like everyone else has; if I have, it's probably integrated into my standard thinking process already.
Worst thing would probably be skimming strategic locations in my view for any potential dangers. I see someone suspicious, I tag and keep them in sight until I know they're not a threat.

Whenever I played Spiderman 2 for too long, I had the sound of web spraying echoing through my ears. Also when playing dead space, I looked outside and thought my dog was a necromorph.
Anyone ever get the Portal effect?
Where you're working out where to place portals, what could hold them, etc... and it isn't entirely voluntary, you're just half aware of it.
...
Just me?
And although it isn't hallucinatory, Left 4 Dead has made me a tad jumpy around anyone in hoodies. I've also had a few game related dreams, the most memorable was being in the parking garage of HL2:EP1, on my own. My gun was out of ammo, so I tore off a fast zombie's arm and started using the claws as a weapon.
Most badass nightmare ever.
