Doom, Doom 2, Quake.
I was addicted to shooters for years. It wasn't so much the games themselves as it was the head to head competition with others. I played on average 3 hours a day... every day. It got to the point that during our daily hour game (12 of us would play during lunch) whatever team I played on would have to play 2 men short to even the odds.
What got me over it was Quake 2, a visual improvement over Q1 but with poor gameplay in comparison (far slower, when I played it it felt like I was running through water). Could be I just burned out, but twitch games don't hold my interest anymore.
