In 1989 my roommate was somewhat hooked on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classic_Empire_(computer_game) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classic_Empire_(computer_game), a turn-based strategy game. Many servers executed a turn and accepted new orders every six hours, which meant a choice between withering under a sustained assault or getting a full night's sleep. I only dabbled, but there were persistent rumors about students dropping out over that game, even though it predated graphics as well as intermittent reinforcement and achievements.
