See, this is why I don't spend that much time in Player vs Player games. Also, I don't drink, go jet-skiing or cave diving.

It would have to be Pac Man for me. I used to play that for hours when it came out.

I've seen several of my favorite (and most worn out) games in my list below, but they bear repeating.

Super Mario Brothers 1, 2, and 3

Battletoads (What a ***** to win, though, towards the end! I never won it unless I didn't lose a life until after the rapids stage.)

Street Fighter (Arcade)

Metroid

Super Metroid

Heavy Barrel

Final Fantasy VIII

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (SNES)

The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (Gameboy)

Mega Man 2

My wife made it through all 200 screens of Galaga on our Atari 7800 one night. Mad props to her.

I hated this game. I could never get past one level (don't remember which), tried for a few weeks to get it and never succeeded.

I was always a fan of SimCity or Civilization.

I used to be more of a PC gamer.... so definitely a fan of the Sim City games... from the original to Sim City 4... after that, I lost interest... Played SimTower a bit... SimPlanet was interesting.... Basically any Chris Sawyer game (Transport Tycoon 1 & 2 Deluxe... Locomotion... Roller Coaster Tycoon 1-3...)... Lots of Warcraft/Starcraft (not the online crap, the build a city, defend yourself, go kill everyone kind)... oh yeah, and Diablo 1 & 2... hope the 3rd is just as good/better....

On the console side... I've been playing Fable recently... Fable III was free with my xbox live sub, so I played it all the way, then found Fable II at GameStop for cheap... besides that, all of the Prince of Persia games (except maybe the oddball one with the Califonia Surfer dude prince)... Most of the Zelda games, Mario Bros, etc...

There were several series from (Sierra?) like that.

Space Quest, Police Quest, King's Quest, etc.

Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards

I remember being in 4th or 5th grade when my dad borrowed that from a co-worker. I would answer the questions at the beginning to get in and play.

I played a lot of King's Quest. Remember the load times if you walked to a new screen?

I actually just heard recently that the "Nancy Drew" series of kid's games has that style of gameplay. Apparently it's generally considered "too kiddie" these days (though how, not sure... 7th guest or whatever it was called seemed rather adult).
