I remember laughing when I bought an early incarnation of Empire that warned on the box cover that the game was addictive.  I thought that was just funny advertising/hype. Little did I know it was a valid warning at the time! (I later learned it was added because of actual complaints from college students who beta tested and/or just plain played an even earlier incarnation of the game).

Some people at Caltech disliked Empire - even blaming it for a couple students flunking out because they got addicted to the game and neglected their studies. One even threatened me because of this (incredible, hmm?)
