I would either say Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas or Gauntlet: Dark Legacy. Those are just guesses, but the both have a long life because you can keep playing GTA after you beat it, and Gauntlet is just so damn long
It may be Super Mario Brothers 3 also, since that was the first video game I played and I still play it.
Interesting topic though
Phantasy Star Online easily (especially the DC version, though I put another 100 or so hours in the cube). Mostly offline.
The game that I could never keep my hands off of would be Resident Evil Four. I beat that game twice and continue to play it. Once I got done with everything, I used my Action Replay to make me invincible and give me unlimited ammo. I just go berzerk on the merceneries mode. I can do that for a good while.
I am unsure how many hours I put into the entire game.
If I had to guess, it would either be Final Fantasy XI (which I no longer play, but I had put in about 1800 hours or so before I quit), or Angband.
Seriously, Angband (and all of the different variants) are like gaming crack to me. I have a XBox 360 sitting practically unused, waiting for me to finish 'just one more run' with my Dwarven priest.
NES Tetris by far. I eventually sold it just to break the habit.

Socom 1 and 2
Because they take so long to play:
Goonies II, Pirates and Dragon Warrior from the NES
Because they are so fun:
Probably the Street Fighter 2 games, the Mario titles or the Zelda games.
The Legend of Zelda and Mario Games I can play for like forever and not get tired from them as for hours go I been playing them since I was a little kid till now so i don't know what the total is. Final Fantasy 7 is another one that I can play over again with over 200 hours+ logged into to it.
The Presidant has been kidnapped by thugs! Are you a bad enough dude to rescue him?
"Yes! I'm a bad enough dude! I will rescue your Presidant."
#1 - PSO GC - 320 hours and counting
#2 - Pokemon Crystal - 215 hours at last check
#3 - Super Smash Bros. Melee - 180 hours
Tetris may be up there somewhere over a variety of platforms as well... I know I've sunk in a good amount of time over the years on the GB and NES versions, plus I picked up the DS version last weekend.

Phantasy Star Online for the Dreamcast by far. I must have spent thousands of hours on that game...
Street Fighter Series with out a shadow of a doubt, its just that damn good!
Then 2nd would probably be as silly as it sounds Counter Strike: Source,
its just one of thoose games that you can play for 5 minutes
onlie with some friends only to become aware it was actually
two hours!
zomg I have a sig
7 hours a day. 3 months. Phantasy Star Online.
I couldn't even access the online feature of this game yet it's addictive powers had a hold on me like no other game has. The lure of another level or a rare item drop had me on the edge of my seat, and kept me enthralled.
Oh, nice topic.
I would say Panzer General, MS DOS version.
All the user made scenarios and campaigns and other mods out there are keeping this great game fresh as celery.
Bionic Commando countless play throughs Had to beat the game litterally 1000 times.
Don't you think you ought to write a walkthrough for the rest of us poor slobs, aaronpetrosky?
:P
