Old Pairs of Slippers

[Steven]

Had a bit of a game cull a while back and let go of a lot of junk. There were titles that I just couldn't part with, as I know they will be replayed again and again over the course of my life. The list is fairly small.

Halo CE

Okami

MGS:Subsistence

Manhunt

Metroid Fusion

Yoshi's Island

COD4

ICO

SOTC

That's it. I have got other stuff, but these are games I genuinely get out and play every year or so (COD is obviously fairly recent)

Which are the ones ones you genuinely have no trouble picking up like a favourite book and starting again from chapter one?

[neoELITE]

Crackdown

Half Life 2 (360 version)

Zoo Keeper

[Hello Goaty ♥]

Vigilante!

i must play it at least once a year.

[Dave White]

Street Fighter III 3rd Strike/ Super Turbo X

HL2

Everybodys Golf Psp

Battlefield 2

[garuneku]

Tomb Raider II. Don't know why, maybe it just reminds me of the good old days

Not played that in a long time.

[Hoodedclaw]

Galaga

SF2/SF3

my old faithfuls

[Vimster]

Original Half-Life, even if it's just to play the beginning. Reminds me of uni and good times. And it is still great despite it being nearly 10 years old.

[Dimahoo]

Lots of mame stuff.....too various to mention - mainly shmups or platformers. I love going setting up the GUI to time and plaing the early stuff then moving through the years and seeing the advancements.

Densha De Go Pro, Trainsim, Railsim, etc, etc

Fight Night.

I've never really actually played the orignal Half Life properly. I only got as far as the first Ed209 thing and for some reason i stopped playing it. I think i had mouse lag, and never bothered to sort it out.

[roskelld]

That bad boy for me. It's the game I love to curl up to every now and then.

As I play Half Life 2 I must agree that playing it through makes me yearn for some of the original Half Life sections and I'd love to play it again all the way through - if they brought up an updated remake for the 360 it'd be amazing but it will never happen. Half Life made me like the FPS genre.

[Vulgar Monkey]

xcom.

fallout.

deus ex / system shock 2.

I war 2.

I got a free promotional disc for Shenmue when I bought my DC in Japan. Hated the demo and never bought it.

I always wonder about that one, given how it's talked about. Had the sequel for Xbox in my hand for 1000 yen and left it because I had too many games in the waiting pile.

[Hello Goaty ♥]

I can't get enough of it

Love the game to bits. It took Kung Fu Master to another level!

oh, and:

I remember buying it on the spectrum. It was such a big purchase for me, (about £10.99). I remember picking it up from the expensive rack, none of that £1.99 stuff this week, oh no, I'm splashing the cash on a game that comes in a double cassette box.

[Dimahoo]

The Master system version propmted me to buy a Master system - IIRC i orignally wanted a PCE but the master system version looked just as good. From the box.

[Hello Goaty ♥]

From the box. Indeed!

any other version than the PCE one, was a massive failure.

here's the fucking Amiga version:

Doom 2

here's the fucking Amiga version:

Spectrum version recieving an honest review (I loved it, worth each and every one of the 1099 pennies I spent on it).

Now thats shocking

compared to:

[womblingfree]

Mr Do

Mr Driller

Ghosts n Goblins

Street Fighter II Turbo

Soul Calibur

Like mothers milk.

EDIT:

Which I no longer drink

[verbs]

Halo tends to get replayed a lot, as does Resi 4. If I've got only a few minutes to spare I tend to blaze through Emerald Hill Zone in Sonic 2.

And I've played through Pokémon more times than is healthy.

super monaco gp

sonic 1

ghouls n ghosts

[roskelld]

Now thats shocking

compared to:

I love the bug there, mid way through the first level, the player runs out of lives and has to continue. The guy appears and gets instantly put into a hold move by the enemy, despite him flashing invulnerable.

It does look a bit better than the Spectrum version, I'll admit that.

[slimbot]

Battlefield 1942!

[Quest]

Majora's Mask

Rez

Street of Rage II

[noob]

metroid prime

[Silent Runner]

Tetris - using the original Gameboy cartridge. I don't think i'll ever get tired of building up the space for the long shape then playing the waiting game to see if you get one before you reach the top. Or will you end up having to take 2 lines using the L block?

Other games I keep going back to: 2d and 3d Mario titles, Yoshi Island, Halo, Out Run 2, SFII, Super Mario Cart, Pac Man, early EA sports games especially early 90's versions of Madden and Ice Hockey, Resi 4.

[daveodeth]

System Shock 2, Thief 1 and 2, Baldur's Gate 1 + 2, Planescape Torment, Startopia, Dungeon Keeper 2, The fallouts and Doom 1 and 2. They all get rotated fairly often, especially Startopia and Dungeon Keeper.

[Vulgar Monkey]

Yeah, I keep meaning to go through BG 1 and 2 again, but it's like 100 hours long!
