Agent ONE Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 You guys know what I mean.. Its like some games you get and you either play em for a few weeks, then they get old and you leave them alone, or they are annoying and you quit before you beat em.. Or after you beat em, there is just nothing fun abou them. Im talking about the games that never get old, the games that you've had for years and they are still a blast to play, maybe not as fun as newer games, but you still come back to them no matter what. Here's my list of games I could play forever: 1. Zelda (the first one) - NES... No matter how many times I killed Gannon, there was always more stuff to find and more things to do. 2. Mike Tyson's Punch out - NES... Played it for HOURS, I probably put a few hours per week into this game over a course of 10 years. I was still playing it in 95. 3. Street Fighter 2 Trubo - Super NES... I don't know why I was entertained by such a simple game. I mean really there was not much to this game, it was just fun as hell and I never got tired of it. 4. Quake3 Arena - PC... Just awesome, I kill my coworkers often in this game. 5. Goldeneye - N64... Im just like BSU with this game its hardwired into my brain.

JB0 Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 Well... I find the "never get old" attribute most common in, well, old games. Games you CAN'T beat, except maybe by crashing them(original arcade PacMan is like that, it gets totally hosed after level 255) Asteroids, Tempest, and RoadBlasters are some of my favorites. As far as newer stuff... Tales of Destiny is a big one. So's Valkyrie Profile. And Star Ocean 2(need to pick up SO3...). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NERV Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 Starcraft Broodwar and Diablo 2 LOD only because of the multiplayer, the single player gets old after you beat it, and for some reason i seem to be addicted to the basic games that come with windows, i find mself playing reversi, checkers, backgammon, hearts, freecell, solitare, and spider solitare several times a day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy's Blues Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 Castlevania Symphony of Night The best 2D side-scroller EVAR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 1. Street Fighter 2 / Super Street Fighter 2 X / Street Fighter Alpha 3 2. Super Mario bros 3 (nes) 3. Sonic 2 (genesis) games that never get old and will never get old : 2d beat'them all, shoot'them up ( that s why neo geo succeeds to stay great ) (In general, 2d games dont get old as fast as new 3d game. It's always good to come back in old arcade action game.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy Focker Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 Golden Eye for N64 is indeed a great game. Most new games I just rent one week is all you really need for most games. I'll so add Uncharted Waters New Horizons for the SNES I'm not sure if anyone else has heard about this game but it's so good I bought a copy and dusted off my old SNES to play it.

I have Uncharted Waters New Horizons (or Uncharted Waters 2) for PC and KOEI did make Uncharted Waters 3 and 4 for PC Uncharted Waters 4 is as fun as Uncharted Waters 2. Uncharted Waters New Horizons for the SNES is a classic, improved graphcis from the PC version. Which trading route did you usually use? or you are a pirate? Did you go to Japan and buy the "100 cannon" battleship? (I don't remember the name) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghadrack Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 These greatest hits collections that have been coming out the past few years are the best All of these have nearly unlimited replay value in my eyes: Galaga Sinistar Yie Ar Kung Fu Mortal Kombat 2 Robotron 2084 Street Fighter 2 (Just about any incarnation) Rampart (Castle warfare game) Joust Ms. Pac Man I still want Arcade perfect reproductions of Dragons Lair and Dragon's Lair 2 for a system, playing them on a DVD player is just lame. I also really want a copy of the Tron Video Game, the one where you played stages as tanks, cycles, and battle the MCP with your disc. An arcade perfect version of the Star Wars Trilogy game would really make me happy as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lord_breetai Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 Two words: Bubble Bobble That game was really fun... I managed to put it down though. I'll admit the gameboy game got tiring especially cause they had to throw a week plot in there hmmm... Sakura Taisen V episode Zero??? I havn't gotten tried of it yet... must unlock all 8 secret characters and get A rankings in every mission... and defeate all trial modes... after that though it might get dull Macross DYRL (Sega Saturn) And Macross PS2 are good games to thrown on when I'm bored... I don't think there is such a thing as a game I could play forever Maybe Hana-gumi Taisen Columns 1 and 2??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
