For me it was Counter-Strike PC. I don't play on the computer at all anymore, but this is definitely the game that did it.

PC was Doom and then later Diablo took it to new heights

Console was NCAA 2004, i played that to death

I'll be somewhat surprised if anyone knows about this one - Chain of Command back in the 2am days. The first online game I played for any decent length of time.

Infantry was a close second - I played so much GravBall in those days.

River Raid, Yars Revenge, Karateka

Those were my first 3 big time addictions.

Duke Nukem 3D with two other friends on a LAN started me off. For the whole net thing though I didn't get big time into it until Half-Life (DM and TDM) and Team Fortress Classic.

A couple

War Craft and Command and Conquer for PC. Then Quake and Duke 3d. But I got to say one of the most played online games I ever played has to be Total Annihilation

Console it was all GOLDEN EYE. Even though it was not ONLINE, it was the first console multiplayer game to get me addicted to playing with people in the same game.

I had a computer programming class back in high school when Duke Nukem 3D came out. We all sat in the back row and installed the game on the computers. We'd help each other complete the assigned program as quickly as possible so we could play each other in that game. Good times...
