What are some old & addictive PC games that were insanely addictive? I'm hoping to find some at my local used game stores.

Dune 2

Starcraft. Diablo II.

Prince of Persia. Monkey Island.
Fallout 1&2
I personally cannot stop playing Jagged Alliance 2. If you get it, check out the community-made patch that adds a ton of new weapons and features to the game - it's well worth taking a look at.
From which year?
Chips Challenge is a really fun, addictive, puzzle game from the windows 3.1 era. And for some reason, I still have not have had a problem even running it on XP.

The entire Monkey Island series by George Lucas Games is fantastic. It is a fun, addictive, adventure/comedy about pirates. Manic Mansion remastered is also another great adventure game by the same company and don't forget to get the sequel - Revenge of the Tentical.

Fallout 1 and 2 are classic RPGS and should be in any computer users collection. BUT, don't forget to get the Fallout 2 restoration mod, which adds over 6 new areas and like 20 extra quests, it makes the game even better then before, while fixing a ton of glitches.

The Wizadary series is also a really good collection of first person RPGs. It is a little too paper and pencil for some people, but it is still a classic.

Don't forget Ultima 6 either, one of my favorites.

Lemmings is also a fantastic puzzle game.

And no one can forget Wolfenstein 3D, Doom, Quake or Duke Nukem 3D.

Well, back in the day when I was still in elementary school I was highly addicted to Age of Empires II. But that's because it was my friend's game and it wasn't mine. It can be addicting for about half a year or more. I was addicted for the entire year.
I would have to say Chips Challenge, the ski game that came with windows 95, and Liero.

All of the old Sierra adventure-style games are always fun (Leisure Suit Larry, Space Quest, King's Quest, etc).

The original Half Life can still be fun, as well.

OMG, I was sooo addicted to King's Quest IV! I completely forgot about that game.

Half Life is a great game. I actually just beat it not too long ago.

Very fun game! I was actually thinking about it earlier today.

I'll look for it.
