These are some games I played 10 years ago: Snake, Pacman, Space Invaders, Oregon Trail. These games weren't addictive because they were so repetitive and the difficulty level increased to the point where it was frustrating and impossible.
Oregon Trail and games like that had an end.
So non-addictive games are designed to end whether through increasing difficulty levels or story?
Three of my favorite games are Telltale Games The Walking Dead (PC release, mobile port), Last of Us, and The World Ends with You (Nintendo DS release, mobile port). I loved the story. They weren't addictive and they had an end. TWD had such a simple game mechanic (point and click choose your adventure) too, it was pure storytelling. If you watch Ready Player One the movie, it's a little bit of video game history. You can also research video game history and play those old games too.
The most recent game I played that's kind of like old game mechanics is Overcooked. I unlocked the NG+ for Overcooked 2 and I had to quit because it was too hard which is a good thing.
