What's the one game you keep coming back to time after time?

This is slightly off topic as we haven't played this game in practically 3 or more years, but my bro and I spent so much of our life in this old Dreamcast title, I think I have to give it an entry:

As kids, my brother and I spent a ridiculous amount of time in this horrible, bad, buggy game called "Jedi Power Battles."

It was awful. It would respawn you in pits until you ran out of lives, take 10 lives in 1 death, have enemies that do anywhere from 1-1 trillion damage. It was like the glitchiest game in existence.

It became a novelty of sorts to try to beat it without the game killing you in some bizzare bugfest. We'd try almost daily. Seldom did we succeed. Over many years we tried. It always drew us back, somehow. It was such sweet torture.

Today, I made a momento to that game. A parody of sorts, for all the time spent dying in vent traps, falling off skyscrapers in courscant only to be reincarnated in front of moving trafic, getting run over stampedes of animals on naboo to the amused squeels of Jar Jar Binks, etc...

I present, Jedi Peanut Battles:

Yes, it's bad photoshop. But I think that makes it even better.

I consider this payback to Lucasarts for devouring my childhood.

Tough question in OP
i guess that technically older games i experienced as a kid, mostly SNES\Genesis era
Streets of rage 1-3, sonic 1-3, Super mario games on SNES, super bomberman
 
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R., Torchlight2, Elder Scrolls, Warlords Battlecry 3, Path of Exile... Elite : Dangerous eliminates my need to recapture my glory days in Elite :)
 
THPS 2, Anno 1404, UT 99, Diablo 2
 
Redline Street Legal racing - modded
 
For me I'm always wanting to play Streets of Rage 2, Mega Bomberman, MERCS, The Settlers, Skidmarks (Amiga racing game before we get any silly comments :D) North and South, Indyheat, Sensible Soccer, Supercars 2, Unreal Tournament, Saints Row 3/4, Dirt series.. There's just too many!! :)
 
I have played Witcher 2 and 3 twice .... but been playing the Saga of Ryzom for 14 years. I take vacations 6....12 ... 18 months; but the community there whose average age is above 30 is pleasant in a way that no community packed with adolescents can be.
 
I am a die hard DiaBlo II and now DiaBlo III fan. I have it on all 3 of my computers.

Man, I used to play that, surpised to hear it is still around: It was (probably still is) a good game!
 
theme hospital and metro 2033.
 
Baldur's Gate I and II, Diablo 2. Out of modern games, Cities: Skylines and Stellaris.
 
For me there's probably not a "come back to game" situation unless I count World of Tanks which I've played for the past 8 years or so (since beta). Most of the time I manage to find new or un-played games as of lately I am playing Civilisation 6, also a bit of PUBG and BF1
 
S.T.A.L.K.E.R., Torchlight2, Elder Scrolls, Warlords Battlecry 3, Path of Exile... Elite : Dangerous eliminates my need to recapture my glory days in Elite :)

STILL SANE, EXILE?
 
Sea Dogs, Tachyon: The Fringe, Blade Runner.
 
NFS underground, Most WANTED ( the original) Carbon.Just cause 2 and its multiplayer mod.

Both NFS Most want (original) and Carbon I have been playing just recently also Race Driver Grid 1st one (the second one is crap) and Grid Autosport 3rd one are great fun aswell
 
The one game: Diablo 2

Other games I come back to as well: UT99, Doom3, GTA San Andreas, Tribes 2 (before the playerbase died), Civilization 3
 
Skyrim wins lol !!!!

Interesting topic!
here are my two cents,

PC:
Half-Life saga mostly, HL1, blueshift and deathmatch.....thats my top 1,
Counter strike - Global offensive and seldom use to play CS source....
Battle field 4 and 3,
and the crew and NFS undercover.....

Nintendo:
N64: mario kart
N64: Golden eye: 007
Wii: Mario kart
Gameboy: metroid, king of fighters and new super mario bros

N64 is on my cousin home, was mine but did gift it to him cuz he cares things and use it moderate, love this console, my older gameboy are somewhere at home, always found'em when looking for other stuff, always also end up playin'....

PS:
motal kombat 9
Thony hawk pro skater 2, just to remind older but great times!
