As far as sheer mass of time dedicated it's easily Doom/DoomII/Quake, there was a while there where I was playing 3+ hours a day. And I thank them for proving that those LAME "Pay for Play" internet racketts are not the only way to do internet multiplayer. The day I pay $50 for a game then pay monthly to be able to play it is the day you can take me out to the pasture and put me out of my misery.
RPG - Diablo II - I know some of you guys don't think it's a true RPG but it's close enough for me... and has IMMENSE replayability. My wife and I have been through the entire game at least 6 times on the way to level 80 and there's some out there that are at 100.
"Classic" CRPG - BG2
Simulation - Operation Flashpoint - outstanding game!
Strategy - Warcraft II - fun as all get out!
I also have some honerable mentions -
Empire (the origonal text game that I played on a VAX when I was a kid...)
Ultima I-IV - the early ones were the best!
Kings Quest I/II - good graphic adventure
Leisure Suit Larry - they showed topless girls! Of course the entire top of the girl was about 8 pixels... but it's the thought that counts!
Myth - Great concept... but frustrating in places when it forced you to follow a recipe to win instead of using tactics and strategy.
