    I have always been curious about the question. So I will start with mine, it got to be warcraft III:frozen throne for me, played the original warcraft III from the first day it came out and then followed the expansion: frozen throne, keep playing until just recently. Although I rarely play the game anymore, I still watch replays from some replay site quite often. It has been like almost 8 years?: :D

    Tell us what game(s) that have kept you playing over the years :p

    That's awesome! FF3 is an exceptional game.

    I totally forgot about cell phone emulators too (SNES and N64).

    --

    For me, it would be:
    Total Annihilation
    Heroes III: Might & Magic
    C&C Generals/ZH

    I started playing III on PC and then tried II and VI, which were also great (not as great as III, though).

    I have that (But doesn't load up at times anymore)!!! And also the X-wing Collectors Edition! But I play more of Star Wars: X-wing Alliance. Was only reason I bought a joystick in the days. The cutscenes back then were amazing!

    Finally the last two I still play are Homeworld + Star Wars Mod and Total Annihilation....


    As you can see I am quite a SW freak :D

    A few months ago I was thinking about the first game I ever played (I can't remember why), and how I still haven't beaten it yet. Dungeons of Daggorath, for my TRS-80 (1982). Turns out, it's free for download with a windows emulator. I've played it a bit lately, though I still can't beat it, it's crazy hard...
