I was most addicted with Test Drive Unlimited. Not the most realistic driving physics ever, but the ability to freely drive around Oahu was what made me fall for it. Countless mods available online too, so I handpicked what cars I wanted in my garage. There was also a physics editor so I was able to tweak the physics and make it more realistic.
In fairness, I got something out of it, as I felt more comfortable driving a car in real life after hundreds of hours on TDU. Same with my brother - he didn't have to go through that noob stage in driving since he too had countless TDU driving hours.
I've sold my Logitech wheel and haven't upgraded my hardware for years now, but I think all kids deserve to go through that gaming phase.
