Any old or new game that You keep coming back for more and what make them great? :unsure:

Old Games that keep coming back for more are Commander and Conquer Zero Hour online(PC) as it never end because it is really excellent game when playing against people as you dont know what they going to do :)

Blood Bros(Arcade, brilliant Shooter) bit like cabal but more fun!

Devil May Cry 4(Yes, the pc is best version out of all and thankfully..it is bit easy!)

Ultimate Soccer Manager (Amiga) - It is good game but it is shame they didnt challange Football Manager of today because it would be interesting as football manager company doesnt have any competions due having broken game every October and fans been waiting for xmas to have patch fixed :thumbsdown:

Space Harriers(Sega Saturn)- Great game and there always replay factor that keep me coming back to it and yes, Space Harrier Arcade Cabnet was Excellent that would have in my Living room:cool: but not enough room :(

Outrun(Sega Saturn) - 60FPS which twice faster than the Arcade and good fun!

Operation Wolf(Arcade) - Love blasting and finished it without losing Life was good Achievement!

PowerDrift(Arcade) - So fast and furious. IF You got Powerdrift arcade cabnet then it is amazing to drive!

Double Dragon Gameboy Advance - I really enjoy it and nearly finished it but i was annyoned when i keep jumping between bridge and water! I land water every time:picard.....grrrr

Final Fight(Snes or Mega CD)- I always trying go through passed 3 level without losing a life is quite tough but worth playing :)

Final Round( Arcade speedy Boxing) - Very tough and every time you beat each boxer and it get tougher. Training is good fun

King of Boxer(Arcade) - Good fun but very tough

Kung FU Master(Arcade) - Good Fun but i can only reach up to level 3 :(

Midnight Restatnce(C64) - Excellent game that is worth replaying

Narc(C64) - Good fun but bit easy than Arcade!

Ordyne(PC Engine) - Good Fun and it more fun when you go in the shop for better weapons and blast everythings :)

Parodius(Snes) - Love the music,cute graphics and all the boss! :)

Platoon(C64) - I couldnt finished it because it is quite hard game but love the music but it does keep you coming back for more :)

Robocop(Arcade) - Somethings different, fight different enemys and boss too

Strider(Megadrive)- Almost close to the Arcade version and good fun!

Super Hang on(Arcade or Megadrive) - On Arcade versions where you sat on motorbike was good fun and moving left or right. Megadrive versions was almost close to Arcade which was pretty good!

Track n Field(Arcade) - I always trying to break World Record weather against computer or friends and it always got come back factor

Un Squadron(Snes) - Great Shooter and almost feel like better the Arcade version!

Championship Manager 2(PC)- Great game that was back then as I remember When I had Pentium 3 733MHZ with 768MB Ram and the speed of game just flew over the season so fast and so simple to do and so much fun....unlike football manager of today as all gone too hard and too slow!

I am sure that I have missed lots of other games(such R Type,Bomber 10 players sega saturn,Defender,Gauntlet,metal slug,Radien, Rainbow island) that keep you coming back for more but the lists would endless on here:)

Agony (Amiga), my 6 years son loves it!
Turrican (Amiga)
Hurrican (pc remake of Amiga's Turrican, freeware)
Portal (PC), more for the final music. Really!

How could you not return to Portal when there's Science to be done? :lol:

I love Portal & Portal 2

Games i favour and return to a lot are Sonic 1 (Master System over Megadrive), Alex Kidd in Miracle World & R-Type.

I have recently got some Nintendo machines, Nes with everdrive, Gamecube with XenoGC, GBA, GBC & GBA SP. I've had the NES & Everdrive for just over a week and played a few titles but decided its not for me (only games i enjoyed were Tetris & Crackout) and have sold it this evening to one of my wife's friends. Gamecube i need to grab a memory card and then i can enjoy some games instead of keep having to restart. Gameboy, my first one was the GBA and due to it having no lighting for the screen i have struggled with it. GBC, same issue. GBA SP, i have a few carts and some are ok, this one has a front light so on the lookout for one of those EZ-Flash carts and giving some more games a try.

Finding that Nintendo are not a big hit for me. There are some enjoyable games on there but i don't really see the attraction with Nintendo. Guess its cause i grew up with Sega & Amiga?

Just bought my second Snes (gave the first one away), enjoyed some titles like Donkey Kong Country, Street Fighter & Mario Kart. I also purchased my first N64 (played Goldeneye on someone elses but not owned one) both machines coming from Fitzsteve and looking forward to grabbing some more everdrives and giving more titles some play time.
 
N64 got some Amazing Game such Pilotwings 64(one of my fav game) , Waveracer, Super Mario 64 and list go on:):thumbsup:
 
When I get chance I find myself re-visiting a lot of my favourite games

Captive, UFO: Enemy Unknown, Bards Tale(s), Ishaar(s), Wing Commander, Alien Breed Tower Assault, Dune 2, Project X, Super Frog, Hired Guns

I also love C&C Red Alert 2 and have recently installed this (and its expansion packs) on my PC, along side Red Alert 3 (and its expansion packs)

Recently got into AD&D Temple of Elemental Evil on the PC... spent six hours with my brother playing this last Saturday... we finished at 5:30am Sunday.... with so much more to do LOL!

I need to re-introduce Worms World Party back into Friday night Curry/Gaming nights - its a lot of fun!!!

turrican 2 (amiga)
jamespond 2 (amiga)
harlequin (amiga)

san andreas (xbox)
outrun2 (xbox)
super streetfighter 2 turbo (3d0)
need for speed (3do)

....to name but a few
 
Current games:

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (PC) - I've been playing this since beta in 2011 and still drop into the game to play it. Not as solidly as I did when it first came out, but I still enjoy it. I don't know if I will still be playing it in years to come though as it does start getting a bit tedious with the side missions after playing it for hundreds of hours. :lol:

Fairly recent games:

Race 07 + expansions
(PC) - This is an amazing franchise with so much to do. I don't think I will ever manage to fully play everything and do everything within this.

DiRT 3 (PC) - My favourite rally game that I keep going back to.

Shift 2 Unleashed (PC) - Still love playing this game.

Return to Castle Wolfenstein
(PC) - I was hooked on this game from the moment I first played it, and keep returning to play right through the whole single player campaign. Brilliant game.

Half-Life 2 (PC) - I've played this through a few times. Again a game that I keep needing to replay.

FarCry (PC) - I could never really get into the second game in the same way as the first. This was another game I was hooked on from the beginning, and I love to replay it for the island sections, especially the ones with access to gun boats, jeeps and other modes of transport. Brilliant game... even if the last section of the story ends up more like Quake.

Dungeon Siege (PC) - Many people panned this game, and the whole series, but I loved this game and have replayed it a few times. It is fairly liner but I find it great fun.

Plants vs. Zombies (PC/tablet/phone) - This game is so addictive, and now their is a sequel. I keep coming back and playing more of this.

Gran Turismo
games (Playstation 1, 2 and 3) - I've been hooked on this series since the first, and just keep playing each until the next appears. The second game is still my favourite from the series though.

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (Xbox) - This remains my favourite Star Wars game, and I love replaying it... sometimes just to hear Bastila's voice (Jennifer Hale) :lol:

Warhammer games (PC) - I've always been a fan of Warhammer, since playing it as a tabletop game in the 80's and visiting Games Workshop almost weekly to by figures and paint. I've played every WH game released, and keep replaying them. Even Shadow of the horned Rat on occasion. I will also mention Blood Bowl here as it was also a firm favourite as a table top game, and I love the recently computer version. It took a long time to arrive, but the end result is good.

X series (PC) - Another series that I keep returning to. Like an evolution of Elite, but different and much more complex.

Guild Wars (PC) - I don't actually play this any more, but had to mention it because on launch I played this none stop, along with all the expansion packs. I racked up over 1600 hours in this game and loved every minute of it. The holiday events were really great memories. I think I even still have screenshots from the Halloween and Christmas events somewhere.

Civilization and Sim City games (PC/Amiga) - I've enjoyed these games since the first on the Amiga. The most played is probably the first Civilization AGA and Sim City 2000 AGA on my A4000. I play all of them in the series, but keep going bak to Sim City 3000 as I prefer the isometric style over the more recent design.

Broken Sword games (Playstation/PC/Android) - I keep replaying the first 2 games in this series, and plan to replay the later games too. I'm currently replaying the first via the new enhanced release on Android. Brilliant, and I love the extra content added to the new version.

Ridge Racer games (Playstation) - I love the Ridge Racer games, but for some reason the third game in the series, Rage Racer, was the one I got addicted to and still love to play. RR4 was great but way too easy and didn't have the traditional RR feel. Rage Racer took a lot of time to learn and master the tracks and how to drift the cars around them to get the best times. I do play the more recent ones, but keep returning to the originals.

Tomb Raider (Playstation/PC) - I love this series, as many do. The first game on the Playstation is still my favourite and I have replayed it a few times over the years.

Super Mario Kart (SNES) - I fire this up regularly. No other Mario Kart games released since can capture quite the same raw enjoyment and simplicity of the original. Still great fun, and even more so multiplayer.

Smash Court Tennis (SNES) - I'm a huge tennis fan and love to play all Tennis games released, but this is still my all time favourite. Brilliant fun to play.

Frontier Elite 2 (Amiga) - As with many others, this is still an amazing game that I lost a lot of time to for a couple of years after its release. And I still load up some of my old save games from time to time to have a play around with it.

Baldur's Gate (PC) - Brilliant RPG, and reliving it at the moment thanks to the recently released Enhanced edition. Definitely a game I will replay again in another few years, along with its sequels, plus the Icewind Dale games.

Mario games (various Nintendo consoles) - Super Mario World and Mario Sunshine are my 2 favourites and I keep returning to, but they are all great and worth replaying often.

Tekken 2 (playstation) - My favourite fighting series. The second game was the first I played and still the one I return to the most.

Soul Calibur (Dreamcast) - I love this series but the Dreamcast game is my favourite.

The Legend of Zelda: A link to the Past (SNES) - another series I love, but the SNES version remains the best and the one I've replayed the most.

There are so many I return to that I've missed loads, but these were the first to come to mind.
 
I couldn't help going back to Cannon Fodder even though it was driving me crazy! Eventually I did complete it last month after nearly 20 years of on-off playing :)

I regularly play the SNES Super Star Wars games, I complete them all every few years or so. Probably the best games of the franchise IMO.

Street Fighter 2 (any version) - this has been the 'boys night in' game of choice since I was about 12, even in our 30s my brother and I still play it for hours!
 
I forgot to mention the Star Wars SNES games. Love those and also replay them often, still owning all the original carts. And the Star Wars games on most other platforms too, including Gamecube and N64. Nintendo consoles have been good over the years for SW games.

One series I keep meaning to replay is X-Wing and Tie Fighter on the PC, plus X-Wing vs Tie Fighter. Loved those games in the 90's and keep meaning to replay them again.

I also want to replay the Dark Forces/Jedi Knight games again. I remember a few years ago building a new PC and installing Jedi Knight on it and being so pleased at being able to max out the settings and run it in a really high resolution.
 
Doom(Amiga) - It ran so fast on 56MHZ Amiga:cool:

Swos 96/97(Amiga)- Excellent song, Gameplay either single player or against friends!

Turrican 2(C64) - I Pefer C64 Version over Amiga Version:thumbsup:

Ricky Dangerious(C64) - It about memory the all the trap and not easy game!

Apidya(Amiga) - Amazing game and I got to 4th Level(Techo Level) without losing a life which impressive but 4th Level is hard! So losing without Life to finished the game is tough Task!
 
Wing Commander (CD32)
Superfrog (Amiga)
Far cry (PC)
Forza4 (360)
Outrun coast to coast (any platform)
Crysis 2 (PC)
 
<snip>
Street Fighter 2 (any version) - this has been the 'boys night in' game of choice since I was about 12, even in our 30s my brother and I still play it for hours!


THIS!!! Me, my brother and our mate Woody play like this on all our old skool consoles every few months until well late on a Sunday night, they just never get old these games do they :)
