Heroes of Might and Magic 3
Age of Wonders 2
Nigger Time

I seem to play these every year since they came out:
Super Mario World
Valkyrie Profile
Kirby's Adventure
Megaman X
Megaman X4
Chrono Trigger

Many simple games like Tetris, Frogger, even Galaga I can find myself playing over and over again to kill a few minutes. The one I still come back to today though is Magical Droppings

oh yeah, and Ocarina of Time, the AKI wrestling games, Red Alarm, Zelda 1 and 2, and of course pinball (physical tables). Also balloon fight, one of my all-time faves.

I play warioland 3 for about 13 years, i played it on emulator cause i didnt have gameboy color, but now i finally bought it on my new3ds

>>3029976
>i played it on emulator
>now i finally bought it on my new3ds
You're still playing it on an emulator

>>3029993
but now i payed them for this masterpiece

>>3029829
As much as I love this game, some sequences are very boring. Especially that desert.

>>3025524
Any arcade game
That's why I loved genesis so much

>>3030035
I fucking love the desert. How many games force you to align the stars above to direct your path?

>>3030050
how many games teach you wrong how to follow the stupid star thing on purpose?

>>3030065
>stupid star thing
It's not stupid; it's a great concept. But yes, you're referring to the note that reads west instead of east. The guide, Horis, tells you the correct directions. So you know right away the game gives you two different directions. Naturally, you try both of them. Still a flaw, I agree. But not so bad overall. And besides, you get the Life Armor going by the note.

>>3030079
do they say "west" and "east", or are they refering to different reference systems?

>>3030087
Your guide, Horis, says to go east, which leads to the Oasis. The note says to go west, which leads to the Life Armor. Because each direction leads to somewhere/something, it's debated among BoF fans if it's an error or meant to be that way.

>>3030091
fair enough, sounds a bit unfortunate. I was asking because in some games the point of the view of the character/party may not match up with cardinal directions as expected, and east is left on the screen, or elsewhere even. If they did use east and west though, there's no space for ambiguity

>>3030103
>sounds a bit unfortunate
It is. Even though it's my favorite game, I admit the note probably was a translation flaw. Just saying the desert isn't as bad as some make it out to be. And I really enjoyed it; was one of my favorite parts.

Just curious, what's your favorite game?

>>3030108
>Just curious, what's your favorite game?
Not sure if you mean within the BoF series or in general. Since I have not played any BoF game though, I'll just respond for general.
I don't know if I would call it my favorite, but OutRun is definitely the game I come back to most often. The very quick way into the game (boot, pick a song, you're on the road), and the very brief sessions (below 6 minutes, guaranteed) appeal to me. With a lot of games I "don't bother" firing them up, because I know I need minutes to get into the game, and hours to recover my mental context (where was I in the story? What equipment does my party have or need? What are their abilities? What combos did I use? My reactions are too slow, because I lack practice, etc.), so I end up just not playing them at all, which kind of sucks.
Also helps that OutRun is an entirely positive game. No enemies, no fight, no conflict, nothing. It's just you, your girl, your car, and the road, and I love that.

>>3030135
Interesting choice! I never played OutRun. I saw footage of the game during G4TV's top 100 games special, and I thought it looked pretty rad. And yeah, games that are easy to get into are pretty fucking sweet.

Which version of the game, though? It's on the Genesis?

>>3030152
mame and the arcade rom (rev b). Dipswitches set to free play, so I don't have to bother with coins, and a few bug fixes and improvements from reassembler, plus a minor tweak of my own

>>3030164
I have the worst luck trying to run MAME games. Most of them never work for me. Like I'm missing a file or something. Otherwise I would try it.

>>3030171
http://tempsend.com/695315236C that's the unpatched rev b, I think. Should run fine if you just put the zip in the roms folder. The patched one would only throw up checksum errors, and the bugs are minor enough, that this is plenty to enjoy the game.

>>3030190
Alright, awesome. Thanks for the hook up.

Super Mario 64.

The skill ceiling is endless.

>>3025524

Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri

/thread

>>3025862
>Heroes of Might and Magic 3
>Age of Wonders 2
These two too.

heroes 3

>>3030225

not only will it take you awhile to beat the first time, but once you beat it the real replay value comes in as you feel the need to go back and completely master each stage

>>3025524
Sonson, pirate ship higemaru, yume penguin monogatari, metal slug, fantasy zone

>>3029823
>berzerk
>space harrier
>outrun
Wise choices.

>>3025524
Zelda 1
Contra Series
Metal Gear 2 (MSX)

>>3030225
Speedrunner faggot.

Excluding obvious puzzle games or games with endless gameplay (roguelikes etc), I'd say that:

>Ocarina of Time
>Goemon 64
>Kirby SS
>Secret of Evermore
>FFVII
>Yoshi's Island
>Pokemon Red/Blue or Gold/Silver
>DKC series
>Chrono Trigger
>SM64
>Banjo Kazooie

are the games I've replayed the most.

>>3031214
>Speedrunner faggot
Speedrunner and faggot never go together in the same sentence.

>>3031916

>>3031926
I don;t even know who that is.

>>3029823
>Sonic 1
Why hello I see your patrician

Im pretty patrician myself

>>3030043
Really? Arcade games are the ones I blow through the fastest then never bother to go back to.

>>3031950
I seriously doubt you're good enough to beat a single arcade game.

You probably struggle with the first board in Donkey Kong (if you've even played it)

>>3031916
But Chibi was a speedrunner faggot.

>>3031963
lol where's that coming from? All I'm saying is they're mostly not the kinds of games I come back to over and over once I'm done. Not trying to start shit or anything, just my two cents. OP already posted one of mine.

I'll give you Space Harrier though, that's a game I've never grown tired of.

>>3031965
Well damn, you got me there. Didn't he try to cheat?

>>3031980
You said you blow through arcade games. Im calling your bullshit. No one who plays arcade games would ever talk like that. Even people absurdly good at some of them have games they're weak at.

I honestly don't believe you're good enough to clear a single Donkey Kong board, let alone 10+ Pacman boards, or a Galaga loop.

I wouldn't even be surprised if you haven't played all 3.

Come clean

>>3030152
Get Canonball: https://github.com/djyt/cannonball/wiki

>>3031995
Okay, blow was a poor choice of words. I didn't men to imply I find arcade games easy or anything. Just that usually once I'm done with them I'm done. I'm not one to go one to 1cc or so multiple loops with very rare exception. Also I haven't played Donkey Kong in over 30 years, I never liked that game. If you don't believe me I'm okay with that though. You can think whatever you want.

>>3031983
Yes, after lying about it, and then lying during his admission of lying.

I'd say Metal Gear Solid. I like coming back to that game.

>>3025524
Pretty much since the shitty GBA port, when I first got to take it portably. I am literally always in the middle of an Ecco the Dolphin playthrough. When I just want to relax I pick up wherever I am and go for a while.

>>3031846
>Excluding obvious puzzle games or games with endless gameplay (roguelikes etc)
why? And what do you mean by "endless gameplay"?

>>3032206
I'm guessing he just means games with procedural generation of some sort.

>>3025524
azure dreams

>>3025862
>Heroes of Might and Magic 3
I wish I liked round-based strategy more.
I played a lot of Homm3 as a little kid, but in the end its just not my favourite genre.

>>3032052
>I am literally always in the middle of an Ecco the Dolphin playthrough.
How does it feel to be a retard that doesn't know how to speak English?

F-Zero X

>>3025524
Doom. SMW. Thief.

Certain JRPGS have a charm to them that never really wears off, and leaves me wanting more. Chrono Trigger and FF7 are good examples. Xenogears, except for the prison city segment (something about it just pisses me off)

>>3033683
How does it feel to be a retard who thought I would put effort into proper syntax on 4chan?

Getting fucked by falcons of rape in Ninja Gaiden feels fresh every time.

>>3033776
X-cup, my nigga

Fate Gates of Dawn

>>3031916
Because it would be redundant?

>>3033683
Wait, what's wrong with that sentence? Seem fine.

It doesn't have so much replay besides a bunch of extra maps and a multiplayer that no one plays today, but i still love it and play it.

Most of my gaming time (which I don't have many) is now concentrated on:

Angband
Master of Magic
StarCraft
Warcraft III
Diablo II
Homm 1-3
Spyro
Crash Bandicoot

honorary mention goes to Thief 1-2. I think I could play the series time and time again I just never bothered. It was perfect on the first playthrough.

>>3034609
Looks like a shitty Starcraft copy?

>>3031214
>Speedrunner faggot.
Imagine being this casual/delusional.

>>3036172
Offended, really? I thought the guy was being facetious.

>>3036174
I'm not offended. I'm laughing at how retarded he is.

Super Mario World because the challenges I create for myself
F-Zero because it's quick and fun

Phantasy Star IV
Everything about this game is so perfect and comfy, it's like I'm returning home every time I launch it.
