What Are You Hooked On?
Funnel:
I'm hooked on Double Dragon (Neo Geo) and street fighter II champion edition.

I'm hooked on Athena because the ---Bad words, bad words, whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna do when saint censors you?--- game cheats. It's sort of like an RPG, maybe along the lines of Wonder Boy in Monster Land, except there is no real clear method of continuing when you die and you lose everything you collected when you die. I don't know. Sometimes it lets me continue, sometimes it doesn't. I think there is an item you can find that determines this. I'm figuring it out as I go.
Anyway, the game should be dumb, but I'm continually drawn to it like a lab rab to an electrified grid.

A couple years back I was looking for an old Hockey game I used to love and stumbled onto Power Play. It's a top-down one on one soccer game from '85 and now I'm totally hooked. I've got many thousands of plays on this since I started. It's insane and ridiculous but I can't stop. The last 2000 or so plays were played at 167% speed which gives the computer a great level of competitiveness that I just.... can't... stop.... challenging!

Mille Miglia
That old school, what is it, isometric? view and the drifting (from back when it was still just called skidding :) ) is a blast.
That and Targ. But I was hooked on Targ back in 1986 hanging out at the Forum Fair, too.
At least I'm consistent.

I love threads like this where I learn about cool new games to try.
Midway's Trog.
I have an actual machine that friends love to play when they come over. I set it to a limited amount of continues and lives and we play for score.
Needless to say I really rock at it now, but I never get tired of it. I can play it for 10 hours straight!
