WoW. It stole my life! I loved how Blizzard gave you the middle finger when you got to level 80. You spend all that time leveling up, grinding instances for loot, doing dailies every day (this is true repitition). Then you're finally level 80 and say... now what? No endgame content, raidings rubbish... I want my life back!
Morrowind had over 200 hours, Oblivion had over 800 hours, but the Baldur's Gate Saga? I still play that game, and have played it ever since 97 when it came out. Well over 2000 hours, I'd think. I'm on my latest playthrough the entire saga with one character, and it's still not old.
I'm thinking of playing through again when I'm done this play-through and writing out my adventure in story form. Could be fun.

First actual computer game I owned:
Mechwarrior 4, it was the only game i played when i was 10 years old.
Jedi Knight: Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy, most of my middle school years were devoted to this game
Morrowind, same timeframe as JK2 really, and even then I only managed to level up to 30 something with 3 characters
Oblivion had a little playtime, but it really wasn't as indepth, i mostly ended up cheating up to high level characters to mess around, since it really didn't have the same vibe as morrowind (what could have fixed that would have been no fast travel, and a silt-strider/boat system like morrowind had)
My current timesink is TF2, which isn't a bad thing at all, especially with the new updates, etc.

Perfect Dark, my first shooter, I got it when I was around 5.
I blame the exact moment I opened up my nintendo 64 for me having no life and/or normal friends.
More recently is Left 4 Dead. My grades went down as I would play EVERY night from 6 - 12.
Online play is addictive.

Yeah, having played that on the Dreamcast, Gamecube and PC I've accumilated at least 1000 hours also, and really is NOT an exaggeration.Stupid MF said:
I can't believe all of yours was offline though. That's amazing.
Shame PSU is so terrible.
EDIT: I've just noticed the number of people mentioning newer titles such as Left4Dead and WoW. Did any of these people read the original post that asked for games when you were much younger?
