[QUOTE="Zardnaar, post: 8991735, member: 6716779"] I'm sort of a retro gamer keeping 16bitganes from the 90s and adding to the collection over the years. However there's a handful of games I'm still actively playing now and it's because they were arguably the apex of their genres and nothing better has replaced them. By actively play I mean probably play them semi regularly. Those games are. Sid Meiers Alpha Centauri. Arguably the best Civilization type game ever and a great 4X game. There's been no direct sequel and the spiritual successors don't hold up. Civilization 3. My personal favorite of the series. I didn't really get into Civilization IV and V+ have changed to much. Not played to often but probably break it out for stints at least once a year. Star Wars Empire At War. Not to many SW RTS games were made and this was the best one. Still actively supported by the modding community. Thrawns Revenge mod is buckets of fun for me. Honorable Mentions. Knights of the Old Republic. Gets broken out for occasional playthroughs. Recently done because my wife bought it on the switch so we played it together. Sid Meiers Pirates. Similar to KoToR. Another unique game doing its own thing. Anyway what games (if any) do you semi regularly play that are old. Remakes do not count eg Mass Effect Legendary Edition, Halo Master Chief Edition. [/QUOTE]
