    Serious Sam 2

    I HATED IT SO MUCH when it came out, but it's aged a bit better in my eyes now considering the market saturation i'm willing to give it a second chance (after 6 years!)


    also, vvvvvv is a fun replay, and sometimes I tear through the entirety of Deus Ex per major system upgrade

    Already mentioned, but chrono trigger, secret of mana, terranigma, and super metroid. They pretty much defined my gaming childhood!

    Other games which have been rinsed and repeated: Dungeon Keeper 2, Half Life (until they added the smg recoil :@) & hl:OF, Baldur's Gate SOA, Deus Ex (2000), and Starcraft (98).

    Freedom fighters.
    Dunno why I love this game so much, but I seem to keep coming back even though clearing it out on the hardest difficulty is like a walk in the park now.

    Legend of Zelda (NES), Link to the Past (SNES),

    used to replay Castlevania: SotN once a year. Should plug in the playstation again sometime.

    Steam is great for replaying classics like Doom and Quake.

    Actually playing Mike Tyson's Punch Out at the moment. Determined to beat Tyson FINALLY.

    I play Super Castlevania all the way about once a year.

    Bought Chrono Trigger the other day on PSN, as I don't think I actually got the best ending on it back in the day.


    Super Ghouls and Ghost [i lie i never beat it, but i never surrender :(]

    Man, I love that game. My folks got it for me on a whim, and it turned into one of my favorite games for the SNES. Yes, I can beat it too :D Just get that crossbow and golden armor and HOLD ONTO THEM until you absolutely have to get the Goddess Bracelet in the last level on the second go around. Is that game on Wii virtual console?..I wanna play it right now...:D

    i hate you... (not really) dude the farthest i got was to that like floating platforms..blue cliffs type of thing? god it's been long. I do wanna play it as well.
    the golden armor and the crossbow are bad ass together :) there's so many secrets in that damn game, i know that if you just jump in certain areas you get chest to come out of the ground! ugh, i gotta go play it.

    Dude, I played the shit out of that game. I really don't know why I liked it so much either. In fact, when ever I think about it, I ask mysefl that very question and I can never answer it. It was just addicting and well executed. I thought the whole premise was really fun too. Multiplayer wasn't half bad either!

    For me, Majora's Mask > Ocarina of Time. Skyward Sword is also a favorite of mine, but that's too new to be considered for a replay.

    Yeah when I first got it I used to use the level select code to skip around til i was good enough at the later levels to be able to run it straight through. And I would use the magic you get with the crossbow all over the place to find where all the chests are. It is on the Wii's Virtual Console after all, gonna play it after work and see how bad I am at it now :) The music in that game is amazing too.

    I want to play Final Fantasy 6 (was 3 in Japan), but this won't be a replay as I actually never played this one! A buddy of mine calls it the best in the series, and I trust his word that it's good so I'm looking forward to checking it out when I have the time.

    There are other old rpgs that I have on a to check out list which I as well never played back when.

    Xenogears - ps1
    ChronoTrigger - ps1

    My buddy seriously looked at me funny when he first learned I never checked these games out haha. I'm into the revisiting the retro stuff (I grew up with it) so I think I have some good gaming in store when I get to them :)

    Actual replays...

    Castlevania 4 is due, been years
    Super Metroid - an absolute fave
    Mario 3 - it's been forever since I played this
    Super Mario World - ^ same
    Oddworld Abes Exodus - not too long ago I revisited the first game, so picking up the 2nd will be fun too
