I used to play Maple Story when it was in beta, and it was addictive. I quickly lost interest though with 20 other characters stealing XP and items in a farming spot. And all of the good stuff cost real money. I might hate microtransactions more than I hate monthly fees.
I've been addicted to lots of games, though. One game that I never won because my save disk broke was Four Crystals of Trazere. I couldn't stop thinking about it. I'd try to sleep and stay up and think about playing it.
Conquests of Camelot and Hero's Quest were pretty addictive too. Bioware games and the old SSI Gold Box games were also fun and addictive. There were lots of others, that I don't feel like remembering right now. Games don't really have that affect on me anymore. In fact, most games bore me now. The only game that might still make me addicted is Civilization (currently Civ4).
