Well, I'm more into stratergy games... Used to be a Quake 3 freak for a while, still do play when I get the chance, but not that regularly. QIII didnt really affect me that much, the only side effect was addiction

.... ditto for stratergy games.

As for racing, I always used to play NFS when I had a chance, but not for long continuous periods, but just for the rush of it... I used to fininsh the game quickly too.. again not much effect of NFS on me...

The only games that affected me were:

1) Warcraft III.
Had just got this when it was released- simply was awestruck by the graphics and the gameplay- I was on vacation during that period so used to play like 12-16 hrs daily!

After each days' session, I used to feel dazed and whenever I took a step forward, I was having half a mind to look at a map.. And also to be on the lookout for enemies

2) Bomberman!!
Yeah! I was playing this game during 1995 when I hadn't got win95 and was using win3.11 on my old 486. But I used to work mostly in DOS, as it was much better. I was addicted to Bomberman and after playing bomberman, whenever I came across a wall or a door in my way, I felt like blowing it up- and my vision was converted into a sort of a 2D plane and I was feeling very confused!

3) Wolf 3D!
No- NOT the new one- the original game when it came out (Was it 1994?)
Seriously scared the **** out me! I mean, till that time there was no such thing like 3D games.. When I played the game- initially I was impressed by the realism - but was also scared cause it was a bit too realistic for me! Always used to exit the game when a guard used to come face to face! Side-effect: Was sometimes afraid of going into the dark rooms of my house!

4) Gorilla!
I dont know if anyone even rember this game- Used to play it regularly in 1991-1992 on an old 286.. In this game, there were 2 gorillas at two ends of the screen. The gorillas were on the roof tops of some skyscrapers (I think it was NY city). We basically had to aim at the other gorilla by specifying the velocity and direction and had to throw banannas to destroy the other gorilla!!!

After playing this game, always felt like throwing bannas at someone annoying....
