Loderunner was one of those games I played so often I started seeing
it in real life. I'd read a book and see the little men running back
and forth on the lines of text. That was then I knew I had to start
cutting back. ;-)

The thing was, I never actually got that /good/ at the game. It's one
of those games I've never finished (I got to about level 50 before
inevitably getting stuck on some difficult part and running out of
lives). It didn't help that the game lacked any save capability, so
you'd have to restart from the beginning every time.
