I feel like most people who have been playing video games since childhood have one or more of a select few games that they go back and replay every few years.

For me I’ve been replaying Pokémon Emerald Version recently. Nothing like nostalgia and being able to better enjoy aspects of a game you didn’t understand as a kid. ☺️

    The Civilization series has consumed more hours of my life than I care to admit. I’m also fond of going back to Age of Mythology and the old Sierra game Pharaoh every few years.

    I don’t normally replay story focussed games, I think the only one I’ve completed twice is Final Fantasy 7.

      Which one is your favorite? I started with 2 on PSX and played it to death, followed by IV and the rest of them.

      I’m leaning towards IV being my favorite after all.

        5 is the only one I play these days, I remember really enjoying 4 as well though. Never got round to trying 6.

        My first Civ was the original on floppy disk when I was a kid and had absolutely no idea what I was doing. iirc it had an anti piracy feature where every so often it would ask you a question from the manual but I didn’t have the manual so I was shit out of luck. Sometimes I’d make it to one of the little cutscenes where the palace gets bigger and I’d be buzzing, that was really all I played for.
