    Something with good replay value. That means random boards / levels and something that is continuously different and interesting.

    Since few games - if any - do this, I'd say either X-Com: UFO Defense or Age of Empires II: Age of Kings. Both of those have it.

    Ikaruga since it'll probably take the rest of my life to beat it without any continues.

    Master of Orion 2.

    When I buy or build a new computer, after the OS and anti-virus, MOO2 goes on.

    It's one of a handful of games where you can beat a game, start a new one ten seconds later, and it will be just as enthralling.


    The epitome of endless replayability.





    Civilization and Simcity come in a close 2nd and 3rd.

    Amen. Age of Kings and Counterstrike were my life in college. I lived in a house with 5 guys and we had an network setup in the basement. I really took it for granted because I'll never have those times back.

    Some possibilities:

    Civ II or III or Civ: Call to Power II
    Final Fantasy VII (call me a sicko but I can play this game over and over)
    Maybe Super Mario World

    If we include pinball, then Theatre of Magic.

    StarCraft:BroodWar with internet connection. This is the ONLY game that I have never gotten boared of. I've had it for 6 years and have yet to go on a hiatus of more than a month from it.

    Sonic 3 locked on with sonic and knuckles. Best 1 (Or 2) Sonic games, ever.

    either Street Fighter III: Third Strike or King of Fighters '97. I have a hard time choosing either or, but one of those two would do nicely.

    Holy crap. It's been a while.

    Default hm......

    I'd have to say the arcade version of Smash T.V. or World Series Baseball '98 for the Sega Saturn. I still play these games at least once a month (I don't play console games very often).

    and..
    I guess I can't forget Counterstrike...I've been playing it since Beta 5.


    One of those 3.

    I've got to go with Ghosts 'n Goblins for the NES. It's so damn hard maybe in a lifetime of playing nothing but it i might actually beat it.

    Or i might commit suicide from frustration.
