MaximumRD Posted February 12 Report Share Posted February 12 Saw this new video discussing games they keep returning to. 😎🤷♂️I totally get Link to the Past. Otherwise my "comfort" games I am sure nobody else would pick, SIDE POCKET for NES/Snes/Genesis & Mr. Do! on ColecoVision. What are some games that grabbed you from the start and you find yourself returning to over and over?

RickR Posted February 12 Report Share Posted February 12 2600 "Adventure" is one I return to often. I also really love 8-bit MULE, One on One basketball, and Blue Max. And I am known to play Windows Spider Solitaire when I have a minute to kill. socrates63, MaximumRD, DegasElite and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

socrates63 Posted February 12 Report Share Posted February 12 My current comfort game of 14 years is Halo Reach. It was released back in 2010, and I've been playing this Xbox 360 game ever since. What I've been playing is the game in Fire Fight mode. It's simply waves upon waves on enemies and you try to stay alive as long as you can. It's a combination of action with enough tactics and strategy to keep me engaged. Typical session for me last 20-40 minutes which is perfect. I can jump in and out easily. I've been playing it almost daily for 14 years. I tried going cold turkey and quit playing it for a few months last year. I even uninstalled it to get myself to play something else (Vampire Survivor anyone?). However, I returned later in the year and bought the Master Chief Collection for my Xbox One X. The MCC version of the game loads way faster than the native 360 version with backward compatibility and 360 disc check on my Xbox One X. Back in the day during the 80s, my comfort game was Dr. J and Larry Bird One on One with some Archon, Seven Cities of Gold, Blue Max, and Necromancer thrown in.

TrekMD Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 Asteroids on the 7800 and Ms. Pac-Man on the 2600 are mine. I can play them, and play them, and play them. Speaking of Asteroids, I just wrote an article for Old School Gamer about Asteroids. Should be in the next issue.

greenween Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 Shining Force II on the Sega Genesis. For almost 30 years. I just love it. MaximumRD and DegasElite 2 Quote "Better to be king for a night than schmuck for a lifetime." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDN Posted March 4 Report Share Posted March 4 Metroid II. Maybe my favorite game ever made. It's perfect. I play through it every Christmas and it's just one of those games that gets me every time. Super Mario Land as well. I've probably beaten that a hundred times. Can't forget Luigi's Mansion or Animal Crossing: New Leaf either.

CrossBow Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 Hmm... there are quite a few for me that fit this category. I would say Streets of Rage II and Gunstar heroes on the Genesis are games I always seem to fire up to play often. On PC it would be Doom and the variants of it along with Wing Commander and Darwinia. For Atari that is trickier... as that is all over the place for me. But at least on the 5200 I can say The Last Starfighter, Rescue on Fractalus for sure. For the Intellivision it is Thunder Castle and Diner. (Although I do play my rom of Mystic Castle most these days) DegasElite and MaximumRD 2 Quote See what I'm up to over at the Ivory Tower Collections: http://www.youtube.com/ivorytowercollections Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DegasElite Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 My comfort games are "Taz" and "Crystal Castles" for the Atari 2600. I loved them as a kid and still do. MaximumRD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got in too late to get that but I would have for sure! I was only able to guy the ROM for it from Mr. Moeller directly about 2 years back. There is quite a lot on the Intellivision side of the scene that I don't have or found out about much too late to get physical versions of the games.
