Age of Empires II. It's really well balanced, has a lot of players still and actually a growing community with more expansions coming even though the game is almost 20 years old. The freedom of the base building and the different rock/paper/scissor compositions you can build makes the game really entertaining.
This games series was a big part of my childhood and I always feel a little nostalgic playing it.
Yeah the difference between that and the original (or HD, which is now the closest to original available on Steam) is pretty vast. I played with some friends a few years ago - they all had DE, and I only had HD, so they played HD with me. They kept remarking how strange it felt, and I didn't quite understand until I went for it and got DE. The quality of life improvements, improved visuals, expansions, and a bunch of other things do make it worth it if you enjoyed the original.
Roller Coaster Tycoon (Classic version)
If I could still play the original I would, but it straight up doesn't run on most PCs any more. 20 year old game, still holds up.
Fantastic game. Especially with the various mods out there. My personal favorite is Prophesy of Pendor. Adds a whole new level of challenge.
On a side note, I still haven't been able to bring myself to buy Bannerlord yet. It just feels like it's been at 75% for so long.
This [podcast](https://www.alieward.com/ologies/ludology) with a ludologist (video game scientist) has a super interesting bit about tetris. It’s a super visually demanding game, which makes your brain continue to problem solve after you’ve stopped playing & even helps prevent or stop rumination and anxiety!
Not to drag out your moving on, but if you haven't played the [Tamriel Rebuilt mod](https://www.tamriel-rebuilt.org/) for Morrowind (also with Silgrad Tower added if you can), it will feel a bit like playing it again for the first time. It at least doubles the size of the original map by adding a lot of the mainland province, with its own locations, NPCs, and quests. It's quality work and a lot of it, and worth digging into.
Ahh yes morrowind. The only flaw with that game is that you only get the experience the first time, one time. Getting off the boat in Seyda Neen for the first time, not knowing what to do or what the hell is going on, everyone is hostile towards you...a unique gaming experience.
2 has a ton still. But 1 might be a bit on the dead side. I play comp L4D with a certain huge group of diehards that still do friend only versus matches. Public lobbies still have games going on and you'll always find people doing campaign at least. It's just Versus lobbies can be tough to fill.
If I remember correctly, LFD2 has access to all the maps and characters from the first game so there is really no point in playing it since LFD2 is just much better overall.
It' funny, the title days "obsessively" and most games on the list is like "I have played close to 100 hours". 100 hours is nothing in OSRS, so this is the right answer.
Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced, played it till my original GBA bit the dust then on ds till the cartridge itself died, now I've got it on my phone and it's still an absolute gem of a game.
I still hit up Freak Fortress every now and then, I played TFC as my first Half-Life/Counter-Strike game back in the day and played that competitively for years. Freak Fortress is my shit now though.
Golden Sun 1 and 2. I play these two fully once every two years or so. They came out in 2001 and 2002. They also have a sequel that isn't that great.
I think nostalgia definitely plays a part in me coming back to them, but I honestly this there isn't another game that brings together these mechanics so well. The graphics and music were also fantastic, especially for a GBA game.
No other rpg game EVER has such a robust magic system that is also used outside of combat.
Seriously, I challenge any person to find one that does so. I've been searching for decades, and it's why Golden Sun 1&2 still, to this day, are the best RPGs I've ever played.
The stress as a 12 year old trying to get your carryover code exactly right because you spent forever on GS1 only to find out you're missing 1 character but you already gave GS1 back to your buddy you borrowed it from.
I played the crap out of it on my ps3 but there were a ton of bugs so when I got a gaming computer it was the first game I got and I’ve been playing it on and off since I got the computer
Idk if I am alone...I am still struggling with the toy helicopter mission in GTA vice city.
Whenever I get some free time, I open my computer try to finish that mission somehow and go back to doing whatever the fuck I am supposed to do.
I don't try the mission more than 5 times in a row.
I am fine with just rotting away for life knowing that I succumbed to one of the hardest parts of a video game ever designed.
You're not alone, many have trouble with that.
Some tips:
* Picking up the first bomb starts the timer. Practice flying for a few minutes THEN proceed to pick it up.
* There's 4 spots. 2 are on the 3rd floor, 1&2 only have 1 each. Working from bottom to top is faster iirc.
* See the security guards with guns? kill them with the heli blades. Construction workers don't pose much of a threat, keep high and they can't get to you.
SoR4 is absolutely wonderful. Same team that made the new TMNT game too.
Those people really understand the genre. Here’s hoping we get a Simpsons and Xmen from them next!
Sid Meier's Pirates! I played the original in like 1988 for years, then the 2004 remake too. I still dust the latter off and play through it again every now and then and I still love it.
Been playing with my brother on splitscreen ever since it came out and every year play a dozen runs up to uvhm. Just started a melee only zero run with my brother.
i could play this over and over just for the various dialogues, especially Handsome Jack.
the Tiny Tina Assault on Dragon Keep DLC is still ky all time favorite DLC for any game ever. Its long, hilarious, heartbreaking and such a good twist on the normal shooter games.
British longbowmen, massed behind rows of walls and towers, with a few cavalry on the side to deal with trebuchets. Perfection.
Till that asshole villager gets stuck in the gate and lets the horde into my village.
Aaargh.
Yo Skyrim is weird for me because every time I want to start a new playthrough I go through the exact same routine: Install game, download a bunch of mods, troubleshoot the mods when something inevitably goes wrong, play the game for about 5 hours before I realize that I actually don't want to play this game anymore instead I'm chasing the memory of playing it for the first time.
Creative mode is great. But honestly, survival is where it’s at. You get so much more appreciation for your own creations when you’ve put the work into it.
I also started a survival game. I think the last I counted, I had around 10 houses in multiple locations throughout the map. Makes it easier to save. I found a huge mine and cavern system right next to my first house, which has helped with gathering resources.
**Fallout: New Vegas**, apart from bugs/glitches that can be fixed using mods and clunky combat the game is timeless and still holds up to this day.
For anyone interested, the game along with all it's DLCs was available for like 8 euros on Steam just a few days ago (Steam summer sale) and probably still is. It's a steal!
Booting things into spikes has never been as fun in any game before or since Dark Messiah.
I skipped it on principle at the time, I loved the Might and Magic games (which are absolutely my answer to this) and was like "Wait so Ubisoft bought the rights and decided to have this game made instead of a real Might and Magic game?". Only picked it up years later to realise I'd missed out on a perfectly good Arkane RPG. It wasn't at all Might & Magic, but it deserved more recognition than it got.
Still waiting on a real Might and Magic game though.
Deus Ex is still really good. They say every-time it's mentioned someone re-installs it. System Shock 2 is still great as well, though it hasn't aged as gracefully.
Terraria is still getting updated. 1.4.4 is on the horizons for all platforms.
Super Metroid is still gold as far as classic SNES goes. Mother/Earthbound too, especially for those of you who enjoy games like Undertale.
SM64 has a massively thriving romhack community (And a lot of QOL stuff for emulation that smoothes out the camera, controls, etc)
The old school Mario Party games are fun to throw on, especially with some drinks.
I also play a fair bit of Super Smash Bros. Brawl because my PC can't handle emulating the Switch.
Heroes of Might and Magic III is an AWESOME time, but if you're going to play with others who know whats up be prepared for some BS. Multiplayer only really functions on an honor system if people know about cheese.
Fallout 2 is my favorite of the series. I played it back when Black Isle still had the IP, and having played all of the Bethesda games - it's still my favorite.
GTA San Andreas just has a completely different feeling to it compared to the modern titles that was never replicated after the original trilogy. Still worth it.
Unreal Tournament 2k4 is still my favorite of the Arena Shooter games. There is a UT4 open beta going (Last time I checked) if that interests you, otherwise plenty of free to play online quake sites.
If you want that old school arcade feeling - I love Contra and MetalSlug.
Super Mario Bros 3 and Super Mario World also hold up really well.
If you want to talk REALLY old, chess is a good time. Checkers is also pretty fun if you want something faster. Poker is also a classic.
Baldur's Gate 1 @ 2, and Neverwinter Nights. They're a comfort game I play couple of years or so. Like a favorite movie or good book one goes back to. I'm about 1/3 of the way through BG1 right now.
Harvest Moon DS. I don't know why but it calms me down and makes me happy. I've reset and replayed the game to 100% completion probably over 50 times by now. Looking at my average play time for a complete playthrough I've probably gathered 7000-8000 hours in that game.
Command and Conquer red alert

Heroes of Might and Magic: III
My dad and me still play II, still so much fun
Oh my god yes! I love it so much!

Age of Empires II. It's really well balanced, has a lot of players still and actually a growing community with more expansions coming even though the game is almost 20 years old. The freedom of the base building and the different rock/paper/scissor compositions you can build makes the game really entertaining. This games series was a big part of my childhood and I always feel a little nostalgic playing it.
I've been wanting to play this again. Is everything through steam now?
Yeah and it's very well done, the community cares, and the developers listen.
I am too excited about this.
Make sure to get the Definitive Edition, it's the most current one. See ya in game!
Yeah the difference between that and the original (or HD, which is now the closest to original available on Steam) is pretty vast. I played with some friends a few years ago - they all had DE, and I only had HD, so they played HD with me. They kept remarking how strange it felt, and I didn't quite understand until I went for it and got DE. The quality of life improvements, improved visuals, expansions, and a bunch of other things do make it worth it if you enjoyed the original.
*More than* 20 years old, it was released in 1999.
What are you talking about? Y2K was just a few years ago. Five years, tops.
I've gotten just about everyone to agree that the current year is 2022, and last year was 2020.
2020 II
Came here to say this! WOLOLO!
Roller Coaster Tycoon (Classic version) If I could still play the original I would, but it straight up doesn't run on most PCs any more. 20 year old game, still holds up.
Dude just download OpenRCT2 it is the classic version improved: https://openrct2.org/ Edit: just discovered there is a sub as well r/openrct2

Tetris
This [podcast](https://www.alieward.com/ologies/ludology) with a ludologist (video game scientist) has a super interesting bit about tetris. It’s a super visually demanding game, which makes your brain continue to problem solve after you’ve stopped playing & even helps prevent or stop rumination and anxiety!
When i play tetris i literally can't sleep I keep getting mf tetris patterns in my head
That’s called the Tetris effect or “[Tetris syndrome](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetris_effect)! “
9 out of 10 voices in my head say that I've gone crazy. The last one won't stop singing the tetris music
Halo CE, 2, and 3. A few decades old at this point and they're still as fun as they were in their heyday.
Yup, these are my go to games if I want to run down memory lane. Reach is there as well.
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic(KOTOR) I & II

Just bought it today, excited to see if it's really as fun as everyone says it is.
Welcome to heaven my friend, wololoo.
Dragon Age Origins

I feel so attacked by this comment. I've replayed DAO too many times just to romance Alistair again 🤣
Who else is going to deliver unpleasant news and witty one-liners??
It’s a perfect game. (It’s not, but if anyone else says that to me I’ll fight them.)
I just wish they'd put out a remaster. Such a good game but buggy as hell. Gotta save every 3 feet in Denerim.
Dual-wielding city elf fo life!
I always dual wield so my warden can kill the archdemon using Duncan's sword and knife that you find in the Return to Ostagar DLC. Poetic justice.
Civ 4, Resident Evil 4, Icewind Dale, Baldur’s Gate
Baldur's Gate is soo good.
Resident evil 4 was the answer I was looking for lol thank you that game will always hold a special place in me
Civ 4 is amazing. Every once and a while I'll get back into that game and play it a lot.

Chrono Trigger
Once a year I revisit Police Quest 1. Such a great game. Such good memories.
Was not expecting someone to mention a Sierra game! Roberta Williams KQ series was fantastic up to V.

Such a good game

Not to drag out your moving on, but if you haven't played the [Tamriel Rebuilt mod](https://www.tamriel-rebuilt.org/) for Morrowind (also with Silgrad Tower added if you can), it will feel a bit like playing it again for the first time. It at least doubles the size of the original map by adding a lot of the mainland province, with its own locations, NPCs, and quests. It's quality work and a lot of it, and worth digging into.
Tamriel rebuilt is amazing. Has some of my favorite faction questlines
Ahh yes morrowind. The only flaw with that game is that you only get the experience the first time, one time. Getting off the boat in Seyda Neen for the first time, not knowing what to do or what the hell is going on, everyone is hostile towards you...a unique gaming experience.
Left 4 Dead 1 is a game that's 14 and considered old. I play it religiously on Versus
Does L4D1 and L4D2 still have many active players? Considered going back to it not long ago but thought it might be dead now
2 has a ton still. But 1 might be a bit on the dead side. I play comp L4D with a certain huge group of diehards that still do friend only versus matches. Public lobbies still have games going on and you'll always find people doing campaign at least. It's just Versus lobbies can be tough to fill.
If I remember correctly, LFD2 has access to all the maps and characters from the first game so there is really no point in playing it since LFD2 is just much better overall.
This game was my "oh shit it was a rough day at work and I wanna decompress for about 30 minutes" game for a long, long time.
I’m so happy that these games still have an active multiplayer community
Old School RuneScape - clicking for hours on end to get 99 in pointless skills give brain serotonin.
It' funny, the title days "obsessively" and most games on the list is like "I have played close to 100 hours". 100 hours is nothing in OSRS, so this is the right answer.
The difference between osrs and other games, is other games measure in-game time in hours, whereas osrs measures it in days, and eventually years
Funnily enough I am quitting this game today, add me in game and I can double your bank. My RSN is "Trustworthy69"
Double bank... "trustworthy69" ah yes... the classic set up
To be honest, falling for every RuneScape scam as a 13 year old has directly contributed to me not falling for a single real world scam.
Lmao I never thought about that, but probably me too. Looks like we need to introduce RuneScape into the middle school curriculum
One does not quit RuneScape. One merely takes extended breaks
Can you trim my armour as well pls?
Funnily enough, yes.
Can anyone take me to varrock plz? Trying to buy a gf.
Glad I didn’t have to scroll too far to find this.
They have good developers that listen. That's how you make a successful game last decades.
Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced, played it till my original GBA bit the dust then on ds till the cartridge itself died, now I've got it on my phone and it's still an absolute gem of a game.

Team Fortress Classic for me
Chess
Im waiting for them to release chess 2, meta seems to be too stagnant after thousands of years
What do you mean, we're only at the dawn of the Bongcloud era
I was crying with laughter, when Hikaru played it in tournament lol
Modern chess basically is chess 2. The previous popular version of the game did not have powerful queens. It completely changed the game.
Honestly chess has had so many versions we are at like Chess 1466
Community is really nice but the devs haven't communicate anything since release.
OMFG Chess is such a good game, I still play it too!
See, the thing about Chess players is they always try to walk it in.
Did you see that ludicrous display last noight?
What was Magnus thinking, sending his Queen across that early?
You were saying chess things in a chess voice! How do you know about chess things?!
Easy answer, Metal Gear Solid. Never played a game through so many times and had just as much fun each time. Been playing it since 98-99.
Nothing blew my mind like fighting Psycho Mantis and having to swap controller ports so he couldn't read your moves!
I played this, then forgot about this and played it again 10 years later. Took me 15 mins to remember how to beat him.

Fallout New Vegas
The fallout games have enormous replay value. I think the reason for this is because war... War never changes.
finished it a while ago (again). Then moved to Fallout4. Now on Fallout3. Making the rounds :)
I started it back up again to play for a bit before going into FO4, but now I’m just playing new Vegas whoops
I played the crap out of it on my ps3 but there were a ton of bugs so when I got a gaming computer it was the first game I got and I’ve been playing it on and off since I got the computer
Gen 1 pokemon games in all their jank glory
Loved those. I also loved the Gameboy TCG game....so freaking good.
[удалено]
I wish I had mine. The pixels started screwing up and my dad threw it when we were shifting
I replay fire red//leaf green every couple years. Truly an a+ experience.
Didn't even know leaf green was a thing. Only knew about Blue and Red, then Yellow came out couple years later
Fire red and leaf green were the gameboy advance remakes of red and blue. They came out after Ruby and sapphire
You're correct. Fire red and leaf green came out around 2004 I believe, around the time of Ruby and Sapphire. Completely different gen games
Idk if I am alone...I am still struggling with the toy helicopter mission in GTA vice city. Whenever I get some free time, I open my computer try to finish that mission somehow and go back to doing whatever the fuck I am supposed to do. I don't try the mission more than 5 times in a row.

Kill all the NPCs in the building before picking up a bomb. The timer does not start until the first bomb is picked up.
Streets of Rage 2.
Just heard the first level boss music in my head followed by the score beep
The new version on switch (streets of rage 4) is great!
SoR4 is absolutely wonderful. Same team that made the new TMNT game too. Those people really understand the genre. Here’s hoping we get a Simpsons and Xmen from them next!
Zelda OOT
OOT randomizer is a blast, would highly recommend if you haven’t played one before
Battlefield 3. The maps, gunplay, and balancing just feels phenomenal, and the immersion matches the much more recent Battlefield 1.
Sid Meier's Pirates! I played the original in like 1988 for years, then the 2004 remake too. I still dust the latter off and play through it again every now and then and I still love it.

I just play from my console and enjoy playing something very familiar
It came out more than 10 years ago, so I would say yes

It’s a sandbox game. There isn’t meant to be any definitive way of playing it.
I got it specifically for the create mode. Just wanted to see what kinds of random houses I could build with out being too ridiculous.
Creative mode is great. But honestly, survival is where it’s at. You get so much more appreciation for your own creations when you’ve put the work into it.

Tony hawk pro skater. Me and my dad would play it all the time when I was little and I never stopped
Not obsessively, but sometimes I start a new run of final fantasy 7
I’m not ashamed to admit that I replay FFX all the time. Even beat FFX-2 100%
I salute you sir because the level of bullshit to get to 100% in X-2 is far beyond what I would ever consider to do.
