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

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.

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).

have a society where too many people never get to fulfill that
extraordinary potential. My view – the liberal view – is that
government’s job is to help them to do it. Not to tell people how to
live their lives. But to make their choices possible, to release their
potential, no matter who they are. The way to do that is to take power away from those who hoard it. To challenge vested interests. To break down privilege. To clear out the bottlenecks in our society that block opportunity and block progress. And so give everyone a chance to live the life they want." - Nick Clegg, Leader of the Liberal Democrats and Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom

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 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.

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.
