LOL! You ain't Old timers.
You are all just young rookies compared to me.
I've been playing video games since the very first one came out., Pong in the 70's. Heck the very first FPS consisted of pointing an infrared gun at the TV and trying to shoot a square dot that bounced around like a Windows screensaver.
Best game... Adventure for the Atari 2600, now that was RPG at it's finest...in 1980. :D

We had a Pong home console with the spindly wires connected to the "one dial, one button" controllers. Drove my Dad ape that it used a perfectly good TV for something other than the news and Hee Haw.
My dad being the money conscious (cheapskate) person he was, bought an off-brand version of the Pong game. But it came with a plastic gun that looked like a revolver. I think that's why he bought it,. he spent more time playing it than I did. Ha! |

Yeah, yeah.. i played those too..Asteroids was my favorite... The OP asked for : the first game that stole your life and adversely affected your relationships.
Adventure Atari 2600, played 15 hours straight, got home 3 hours past curfew, pissed off my folks, got grounded for a week.
I hope that satisfies the "Thread Police". |

Adventure Atari 2600, played 15 hours straight, got home 3 hours past curfew, pissed off my folks, got grounded for a week. I hope that satisfies the "Thread Police". Actually now i thinking about it... the 1st game that got my parents pissed off, was Prince of Persia (The original one 1989)..My mun got me a computer to learn about ( MS-DOS ), but i used it to play games...and of course.. i didn't learn anything about it... 
I just thought of a much better answer to the OP's questiion, the "old timer" title, threw me off a bit., back to when I was young. There was one game that got in my blood that I spent years on. in fact I have never stopped.
Many of thousands of hours have been dedicated to community content and modifications for one game.
In 2003, when I was 38, I bought a used copy of Neverwinter Nights. I went on to create a number of mods for the game. I was well-known in the NWN community for my ability and inginuity to combine and edit the game's tilesets. I created, built and ran single-handedly my own 300 area Persistant World game server during 2004. Several years ago I received Hall of Fame status for a game mod I created in 2006.
Because of my modding efforts in Neverwinter Nights I have learn't how to use a number of programs including:
Paint Shop Pro
Photoshop
GMAX and 3DSMax
Linux Debian
plus numerous editors and tools specific to NWN
Because of my experience with Neverwinter nights, I have done personal mods for Fallout 3 and The Witcher.
Last year when I turned 47, I started doodling around again in 3DSMax. The result so far has been some Doctor Who related items. Namely Tom Baker's Sonic Screwdriver,(to scale, over 10,000 polys). TARDIS interior console and walls, (3rd/4th Doctor) and a TARDIS itself that I'm still working on. Oh, and half an Imperial Dalek.
In Playstation Home, I own the name " Neverwinter" for my clubhouse (closed until I re-release my NWN server)
There you go a nice detailed account to the OP's question. :)
Cheers,
