You know the games I'm talking about; the ones you played and beat for the first time years ago but still manage to entertain the hell out of you when going through them again.
Here are a couple of mine:
Super Metroid
Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
Illusion of Gaia
-
I assume this is for story type games!
STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl
Half-Life 2
Morrowind
Oblivion
-
the tony hawk series is if you like some thing other than shooters and gta is fun. i dont know but there is just some unexplainable stress relief .from beating the tar outta some random on the street with a bat. madden is fun. (if you cant tell not a big shooter fan except gta)
-
Deus Ex: Invisible War
Tetris
Bubble Bobble
Mario
Civ
are a few good replay games that come to mind
-
Civ
Age of Empires
Old platformers like Mario and Sonic
A Link to the Past
Goldeneye 64. It's been around for ten years, and it's still a favorite to play with friends. I wonder if Halo's going to be around after ten years?
Disgaea 1 and 2 have pretty high replay value for strategy RPGs. They're more non-linear and feature a lot of possibilities for gameplay, while many similar titles are more "play through it once" sorts of games. They also don't have deadly serious storylines, which is a nice change from the typical "WE HAVE TO SAVE THE WORLD BLAH BLAH BLAH" deal you usually see.
-
Super Mario RPG, Zombies Ate My Neighbors, and Smash TV.
-
One game is worthy of this title to me:
Super Mario World. And while Super Mario Bros 3 may be considered "better" no game has come closer to perfection then SMW.
Its also the game I have completed the most times.
-
somehow i can't replay (as i can't reread). In Morrowind case, since my 2nd character i started cheating, didn't want to 'train' all the way again, and never done any quest, just exploiting modifications. Same goes to Oblivion, last time i didn't go for main quest, didn't want to ruin the wilderness with stupid gates and beasts.
Grand Theft Auto 3 <- Is my winner of replays.
-
i think vice city is the best so far it just never gets old
-
I like San Andreas over Vice City, just because the map is so much bigger and more varied. Plus the 2 player spots are great fun :D Me and my friend used to spend hours playing 2 player mode, my friend would usually drive the bike and I'd sit on the back and be the gunner, made police chases a lot more interesting since I could shoot out their tires, gas tanks and drivers pretty well. You could also auto target cars and helicopters which made things interesting. Or the other thing that was fun was having duels between us :D 2 player mode quickly replaced single player turns as the preferred play style.
As for cheating in Morrowind, that is probably one of the most fun games to cheat in. Especially if you used the editing tools to make insanely enchanted items. I loved giving myself 250 jump, 10000 archery and tonnes of Mana and just going around wiping out ton after town like some sort of unstoppable ninja.
Fallout was another game that was great for replay, and also a lot of fun to cheat in once you beat it.
-
Baldur's Gate 2 was most excellent for third- or fourth-run cheating. I adored giving myself thousands upon thousands of experience points and then use legit equipment to wipe the hell out of my enemies. ;D
-
and i somehow forgot the guitar hero series
-
I still have Super Mario RPG. I haven't played it in years. My fave has to be Super Mario Kart 'cause hubby and I used to play it against each other. Much fun competition!
I am the champ! :clap:
I'll have to hook the game system up, again... ;D
-
Oh, oh, I forgot Yoshi's Story! That game was so unbearably cute I couldn't help but play it over and over, especially given that there are about a million level combinations you can use to complete the game.
-
and F-Zero, that was a sweet game. Secret of Mana, Secret of Evermore and Street Fighter II should also be on this list along with Mario Paint :D
SNES had so many good titles.
-
I looked and I still have Super Mario World! I thought it was Yoshi's Island when I glanced at the game...
I will *really* have to set up the system, again!
I also love the Sim City games.
-
If you like simcity you should check this game out: Spore (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8dvMDFOFnA)
It's by the maker of simcity and the sims although it goes far beyond just cities and people =]
-
Looks a lot like Sim Earth. I love playing that game over and over, too!
I've got Spore bookmarked, thanks!
-
Yes, Spore looks wonderful. Too bad it would crash my computer.
Typing of the Dead I find is always fun to play.
-
Third World War for the Sega Genesis
-
Hm, there are many good games which I liked to play gain, but only after some time. If I play trough a game, I always want to discover all what is possible to find - so, I rarely encounter somethig new :( . Especially old SNES games like Final Fantasy VI, the Dragon Quest series and Bahamut Lagoon are amazing enough to replay them.
On PSX, I really enjoyed Grandia I; Front Mission 3 is also nice, but I haven't played it trough yet ;) .
On PC, the only game I played and where I can say it is worth at least one replay, is Baldurs Gate II (never played part I, sadly). There are some other very excellent games like Half Life 1&2, or Deus Ex, but those don't offer much new you can discover in a "second run"...

With Deus Ex II there's 4 different endings you can get so that offers some replay. You can also do all the missions to their different outcomes. I like how doing that shows just how linear the game really is because no matter what you do you get to the same places to talk to the same people and the only point which makes a difference is what groups you kill in the final island. Still a fun game though so I keep replaying it, same reason I keep replaying max payne, bullet time is fun =]
Max Payne is also the only FPS I've beaten without being hit once, it took A LOT of saving and reloading to do it, but still I got it done.
-
Baldur's Gate II is excellent the second time around.
And Diablo would have replay value it it had much play value in the first place.
-
Anything by Rare before Nintendo sold them to the devil.
I was replaying Metal Gear Solid 1 and realized how sad I had become. As I said to myself, "This game wasn't this hard when I was 8 (the first time I played it)".
Super Smash Bros 1 and 2 can be played almost forever, and I keep going back to Zone of the Enders 1 and 2 as well.
Spore would probably blow my fusebox (after crashing my PC).

I never did get in to Super Metroid much, but you nailed two of my choices. I think I'd have to throw in Chrono Trigger.
-
i say Mercenaries: Playground of Destrion, and just about any RTS.
-
Third World War for the Sega Genesis
FUCK YES!
RPG wise, I normally don't replay, just like I normally don't re-read a book. The only exception to this has been FFX, which I played through 3 times.
Guitar Hero 3 makes my list for most recent game that I've played that I know I'll keep going back to.
List of older games....
Jaws (NES)
Godzilla: Monster of Monsters (NES)
Any SMB game, except for Mario64, which I never really got into.
Contra (NES)
Galaga (NES)
Pac Man (NES)
Street Fighter II (SNES)
Mortal Kombat Trilogy (PSX)
PTO I. II. IV (SNES, SNES, PS2)
Ghengis Khan II (Genesis)
Star Control II (PC)
SuperPower and SP2 (PC)
Civ (PC)
-
Don't have Civ but I do have Civ II. One of the very first games that I ever played and I love it as much as ever.
-
i have civ 3 and 2
-
COME ON!
Kingdom Hearts 1(great beginning song!)
Kingdom Hearts 2(awesome beginning song!)
-
due, i played the first one, and it sucked.
-
says you...
-
yeah, but i speak for the gods of geekalorn. you cant beat that. Heck, i have a archbishiop.
-
Tetris. Hands down.
-
i hate that game
-
Kingdom Hearts does indeed suck. I generally find Disney hypocritical i.e., they "speak for children" yet most of their toys are made in foreign sweatshops, and I also hate how they once went out of their way to deny they had an officially sanctioned "Gay Day" because they don't want to upset the big bucks coming in from the fundamentalist Christians.
Sorry about that tangent, you're lucky I didn't go on about the endless things Disney has done because they can do whatever they damn well please.
But Tetris ftw.
-
I third the sentiment of Tetris (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYRLTF71Sow&feature=related).
-
Tetris was a lot harder to play (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZrs8ZCO8xM&feature=related) before the invention of video games.
-
still, i think it sucks
-
Speaking as Bara's archbishop, I have to say that Kingdom Hearts is awesome. There is no sense in condemning the entire game just because you don't like Disney.
But, yeah, Tetris does suck.
-
dude, ill fire you.
-
You can't fire me, I have the Gods on my side! Besides, I'm not sure you even formally hired me in the first place. Anyway, we're in danger of derailing this thread, so let's get back on track.
-
You know, i need a secearty...but yeah, back on topic.
-
I wouldn't say that Tetris sucks..... but it's not as great as alot of people crack it up to be. Another on a long list I have of over rated games.... and yes... the Halo series is on that list...
-
and grand theft auto to it.
-
GTA isn't half bad, but Halo is mediocre.
So is the Call of Duty franchise. Medal of Honor is far superior, in my opinion. And moving to modern warfare? WTF? In my opinion, modern warfare isn't good video game material in general because real modern warfare is more calculations and missiles than shooting-it-out.
-
i belive you said something to me about War not being fun?
-
Bust-a-move
-
you know, i have DDR.
-
I just go out dancing when I want to dance ;D
-
yeah, i cant dance
-
Neither can I, but it doesn't stop me ;)
-
that reminds me of a time when i was galloping done the halls, and i tripped. It was FUNNY!
-
modern warfare you have spec ops games, like CSS, and you have battlefield games like...Battlefield 2. Modern Warfare is fun at some point, depending in what kind of modern warfare the game is spotting.
-
i quess so.
-
yes, and GTA is probably the one with most re-play value, at least with me, i re-played GTA3 a thousand times.
-
i dont like the idea of the game. Blasting Cops? Gangs fighting over control?
However, freedom fighters is a good game.
-
blasting cops? Well cops are an annoying creature in GTA, but not exactly where the fun is. Allot of players make car collections in GTA, street racing and most and best of all, pedestrian squashing. Ah, i like to drive people with my taxi car around the city, just like 'walking in the park'.
-
You know, i rember when i played GTA once. it was funny what me and my friends did. Wehjacked all these cars, and formed a huge barcide, and when we got our wanted meter really high, we would run back to the barrcide, and just shoot everything that came by us. it was super fun!
-
I loved getting the dirt bike and riding around in the desert/mountains, switch on to busy roads and peppering a few cars with bullets to watch the madness was fun too :D
-
Yeah I remember I got GTA: Vice City when I was 13 and then my mother watched a phoney news report talking about the "hot coffee mod" if any of you know about it.
She made me sell it back, what bullshit... Hot coffee mod was on only a few game systems and they claimed Rockstar had made it...
-
get it back, it's really worth the effort, specially when you go on Mods. Anyway, the bad thing are the limited universe, i think San Andreas is more explored, i would love to ride a motorcycle in Vice-City, still, nothing yet beats GTA3 in my ranking of most re-play value and re-plays.
-
I find I can't go back to older versions of GTA, if I were to replay 3 I'd want to shoot drivers through windows and whatnot but know I wouldn't be able too
-
hop on a car, get a Assualt rifle of something, and just peeper all the cars as you drive past it.
-
It's more stable to jump into the back of the farm truck
-
has anybody here played rome total War?
-
Yeah, I've got it.
It's fun for a while, but gets boring pretty quickly. I just enjoy setting an army of pigs against an army of elephants to see what happens.
-
or a army of peasant's agisnt a army of wardogs
"WOOF!"
"Crap! Its a dog! run!run!"
-
My friends and I used to always play the "Who can live the longest" after achieving 5 stars on GTA...
fun times...
-
Mine played stunts with cars while fleeing from the Police. High speed chases making police cars crash on their own and laughing about it.
-
BRAWL!!!
