I don't think there's anything I'd got ALL the way through that I would want to play again, if someone put a gun to my head? Outcast maybe, possibly Half-Life There's plenty of stuff I originally got quite a way though then went back years later and started from the start again and finished Previous: Nox Deus Ex
Current: Planescape: Torment
To Do: System Shock 2 Elder scrolls: Battlespire
Also I finished Baulders Gate 2 but lost the character in a Partition Magic SNAFU before playing the add-on - I could just start a new char for the expansion, or play through BG2 again OR I think you can import your char from BG1 into BG2 and I never got far in BG1 so I could play the whole damn think - like I could be arsed or find the time though...

The game was extremely fun and the ending was amazing (once it was figured out) but the ending is exactly why I can't play through it again. Once you figure out how to defeat Giygas and see it go down, it's almost indescribable.
If I were to play it again, I'd just go right to the correct method, and none of the thrill or magic would be there.
But I'd still consider Earthbound to be one of my favorite games.

fucking smw? that's like 3 or 4 sit down sessions of 2 hours. or less if you're good. same with river city ransom, smb3 and dracula x.
if you're shivering in your boots at the thought of having to replay these flash-in-the-pan games, you need to quit the goddamn army and come lift weights with me in my garage, eat caveman dinners, fuck my wife some (with me watching of course), and take some lessons in game playing from me and my brother.
we will indoctrinate you on how to grow video game prowess pubic hair on your mons pubis, and your face. and you will enjoy fall sunsets, gentle breezes replete with beach salinity, soaring self-confidence, a new job building sles 11 boxes, and the rewards of your own toil at our hands.

I'm not good at games anymore. I'm not sure exactly when it happened, but I've sucked at games for like a decade or something. A lot of the games on that list are there because of my lack of interest in seeing it through or just my laziness with setting up an emulator. I guess I would just get bored with how tedious it would seem. Oh, and Dracula X is the Saturn version of Nocturne in the Moonlight (SotN)

I never played Torment, but I totally agree about Deus Ex. It's one of the greatest games ever made, in my honest opinion. I remember reading somewhere that there's things you can do that the designers didn't intend. For instance, supposedly, you can climb walls by standing on the proximity charges. This allows you to explore and go places that you shouldn't have access to. I loved the PC version. I picked up the PS2 version, but never got around to playing it. I can't imagine it's very good.
Another favorite of mine is Castlevania: Symphony of the Night on the original Playstation, especially the whole secret second upside-down castle thing. Genius.
I also really liked Manhunt on the PS2. The tension you feel when playing it alone at night in the dark is insane. I think I got all the way to the last boss, but I don't think I ever actually finished it. I can't remember.

Don't forget the severe re-use of certain textures making navigation a complete nightmare (every hallway looked the same as the one before). The heavily compressed sound always bothered me too, though I'll give them points for cramming so much *good* voicework in there.
True that there was nothing like it back then, and I can't remember playing anything since with that same level of oppressive spookiness.
I just bought the GBA port and am playing through it on my DS ($40 for a _used_ remake of a 25 year old game!?!? I think I paid $30 for a _new_ NES gold cart back in the day *sigh*).
I think it's worth playing, but a friend of mine that loves gaming in general just doesn't get the whole Zelda thing. To each his own.
I keep bouncing back and forth between Legend Of Zelda and A Link To The Past. If you try Zelda and like it, you _have_ to try out A Link To The Past.

Yeah with lines like "God was a dream of good government." "You will soon have your God, and you will make it with your own hands." Gosh! Deep!
