Are they the 'epics' of their time, or some things that are less well known?

Currently replaying the Sly Cooper series, it will always be a favorite of mine

Nfs hot pursuit 2 holds up insanely well. Ahead of its time. Gt2, ff12, musashi, crash bandicoot. Lot of ps2. Still play all my 2600 and nes and n64 games too

Less Pokémon here than I thought there would be, though it does make a showing. I do gen 2 and 3 now and again. Gen 1, I think I've wrung out completely, and gen 4+ (DS and onward) just doesn't emulate as cleanly in my experience.

And I guess I'm approaching my 2nd decade of still playing certain MUDs: Achaea/Aetolia, Discworld, Lost Souls.

I don't really game much these days, though; certainly not like I used to.

Every final fantasy game i seem to play over and over again on loop, bunch of different iterations. Played the nes ff1, then the ps1 remake, then the GBA remake, and then the pixel remaster. Currently playing thr pixel remaster of 2. GBA was the only other version I played of that.

Every time Final Fantasy Tactics comes out again, I’m all over it.

• Rollercoaster Tycoon 3. Hate it or love it, I still think it's an amazing game.

• Chuzzle Deluxe. Recently got back into it after purchasing it a few months ago.

• Zuma Deluxe. Same thing applies.

• Sonic Unleashed. Went from playing on PS2 to 360 to now Steam Deck. The 360/PS3 version is absolutely superior, though.

Any others I can think of are all things I started playing closer to when I was a teen, so I'm not counting them.

Dungeon master and Dungeon master chaos strikes back

[–] [email protected] 1 points 22 hours ago

Quite a bunch, but the ones I come more often to my mind (and that are not DS titles, if not it would be Jump Ultimate Stars, Metroid Prime Hunters or Mario Kart DS) are:

Jackie Chan Stutmaster and Toy Story 2, both PS1 games (among other PS1 titles).

Final Fantasy 6 but, back in my day, it was called Final Fantasy 3.

Morrowind, Shenmue, Earthbound, all the the Mega Mans, Starcraft

[–] [email protected] 2 points 23 hours ago

I'm interested in trying Shenmue after it was (to me rather surprisingly) awarded the "Most Influential Game of All Time" award by BAFTA.

How do you play it there's days? Physical Dreamcast? Can you play it on PC? Emulator?

I played lightbike a variation of armagetron (that imo was honestly superior, it had jumping, boosting, maps that took advantage of that, skins back when they were cheap) but I still play armagettron on ocassion, agains the ai for the most part. Loved that ipod game. I wish it was still popular, think they got scared of licensing disputes with disney and a bit greedy with the microtransactions towards the end, started to effect gameplay through boosts.

I wish some of the changes like jumping and maps that were more than just one grid made it over to armagettron or another pc version but those stayed simple sadly.

I would eat up a modern cross platform tron lightbike game with maps like the ipodgame, jumping, boosts, etc. and cosmetics like rocketleague as long as they don't give you a leg up. It would be all I play.

Does chess count?

Probably Sims and SimCity, I go back to them fairly often.

Crash Bandicoot 2: Wrath of Cortex. Original hardware, Muscle memory from childhood. Still a banger 27 years after my first time.

Angband was my jam for a while, and of course that parlayed directly into Dwarf Fortress

HOMM3 is like a warm blanket when you're sick and tired.
