Classic video games that I'd replay

[Rodrigo Istalindir]

Thats the essence of the question. Is there a game in your past that was so enjoyable that you WOULD go back and play without updated graphics? If there is such a game then it probably has a special quality such as sound, atmosphere, personality or maybe it just makes you feel the same way you felt the first time you played it.

I'm hoping to find a few suggestions from others that I either didn't play the first time or just haven't thought about again.

The first ones I listed. Plus, Wizard's Crown, Grim Fandango, Tie Fighter, XCom, Jagged Alliance, Full Throttle, Loom. There was one called Sentinel, I think, that'd I'd kill to have back.

What I meant about the graphics was, if someone slapped new graphics on them and published them, I'd go buy them in a second. Classic gameplay for the ages.

Shadowrun (SNES)

I knew I liked somethin' about you! I have dire hopes that somehow, someway, we'll see that game again in some playable fashion. Maybe on Gametap, maybe on Xbox Arcade.

Was kind of hoping the same thing about Fallout 1 & 2, but I've gone ahead and bought the games.

And X-Com UFO Defense while I'm at it.

And System Shock II.

I'd consider Master of Orion 2.

I actually do still play this one occasionally. It runs on XP with the proper compatability mode setting.

Will Grim Fandango and the other LucasArts action games play on XP?

I have it in playable fashion (emulator, also got the cardridge, but no SNES ).

Star Control II!

Such a good game! I would so play that again. The booklet was hilarious too.

There isn't much on the computer I would play again, aside from Star Control II, and maybe Fallout 2 if I could find it. There are a number of games that I tell myself I would play again - BG2, Torment, Ultima 4-6... but I never do.

On the console side, I would (and have) played Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy 4-6 recently. Also, I would play FFT as well, if I could find my disc.

Oh, and E.T.

Gabriel Knight series - Adventure gaming at it's scariest.

ditto GK1 is one of my all time favorite games.

Also I'd play Day Of The Tenticle again if I could find it for cheap (I played my friends copy).

Star Control II, no question -- and you can get it for free as a legal download (Google "Ur-Quan Masters", I think -- the original developer ported it, but wasn't allowed to use the SC2 name).

I will likely have to play BG2 again for work.

A couple of people mentioned Shadowrun for the Sega Genesis... great game, horrible ending.

I also loved the Leisure Suit Larry series, the original Punisher game, and Ultimas 3 and 4.

I'd also recommend the little known Exile trilogy from SpiderWeb software.
