I used to be like that with SOCOM when someday, I realized the game was utter garbage. Glad Rainbow Six 3 on Xbox opened my eyes.

Back when that came out, I had to go to work at 6 am. I often stopped playing after 4 am. When I got home, I'd take a short nap and start playing again...
Damn that game had a grip on me.

Splinter Cell PT. Every night, me and siamesedreamer kill suckers and distribute teabags. I've played pretty late and paid a hefty price for it at work the next morning.
Previously, Quake 3 on DC, Halo, Castlevania SOTN and LOI, FF7, Twisted Metal 2, Doom, Rainbow Six 3 LIVE, Wild ARMS, Xenogears, and too many more to name.

Yes. And the teabags are generally of the double team variety.

Wasteland...I played for hours and hours and hours...I had just gotten hired at Burger King when I was 16 and was in the middle of playing another new game through...I never made it to first-day orientation.
Diablo II...many, many late or 'sick' days at work.

Police Quest 2 was my first stay-up-late game - then I saved the game a millisecond after I started to fall into the sewer. I was... displeased.DarienA said:
Other games include Mega Man 3, Civilization II and III, one of the Ultimas - probably IV, Warcraft II with my college buddies, and a whole mess of others.
Most recent was Fire Emblem.

(it was) Team Fortress Classic
Winning Eleven 7 International J (and any game in the series up to this point)
It truly does bring new meaning to the phrase "just one more game". Especially with Master League where I see an acquisition of a new player being four games away and therefore continue to play, if only to have him join my team.
Still, it's not an addicting game. Like, with online games, there's something else going on there. With WE it's just such pure fun. I'll never grow tired of it - only to quit once WE8 rolls along.
Fire Emblem was also pretty brutal. I'd stay up till 5/6 am some nights.

When I was younger , like in junior high school I'd stay up until 330 AM a few nights during the weekend to play final fantasy 3 on snes and chrono trigger as well.
Man, those were the days. Now I'm lucky to even play games for 10 hours in a week, Just don't have the time anymore... it's all spent staring at the internet now.

Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne. I've put a good 450 hours into the multiplayer since it's release a year ago, taking a four month break (October-January) in between almost daily playing. I lose track of time so easily while playing that damn game, and I always tell myself, "Just one more game..."

Whatever the game is, it's always being played in bed on the GBA, "one more game before bed"-style.
