What game do you always find yourself going back to play again and again?

What game do you always find yourself going back to play again and again? Any platform, any generation. Keep it to one game per answer so others can upvote to agree.

From gaming Matt
  • Chrono Trigger.

    Originally played it on the SNES, more recently on the re-release for Nintendo DS. The graphics and sound-track are great (astounding for when it came out). But the story was fantastic. Also enjoyed the "tech" system and non-random enemy engagements. I revisit this game almost yearly.

    Josh : I absolutely second this!!
    From Matt
  • Final Fantasy VII - played it 4 times until now. But I can't find the CD's anymore :((

    Matt : I was looking to buy that one recently to play it again (originally played on room-mates computer in college). But can only find the ridiculously priced units on ebay.
    From eL13
  • Startopia Managing a space station with very detailed animations. Much effort seems be put into the design.

    Raven Dreamer : Was that the game where the two resources were "Energy" and "Power"?
    Tobias Kienzler : @Raven Energy only. (Plus hardware, food, luxury, black market and alien crates to be correct)
  • Diablo 2 continues to pique my interest on a yearly basis or so.

    From TheQ
  • Kirby Air Ride. It's a gamecube racing game with single-button controls ('A' button + joystick)

    It's not hard, it's not complex, but there's enough of a game there to get my brother and I to return to its "City Trial" mode again and again.

  • NetHack. I do enjoy some other roguelikes, but every once in a while I just want to go back to the simple fun that NetHack is.

    From NPC
  • X-Com

    DOS-based tactical turn-based squad shooter. It's also mercilessly unforgiving, both to new players, and on the hardest difficulty. One well-placed grenade and your 20-battle veterans are just as dead as your 2-battle neophytes.

  • Morrowind

  • Master of Orion 2!

    Got it off Gog.com and it runs great, includes everything needed to get multiplayer to work on windows 7 too
