Why is this in General Gaming?

Also, seems like a participation thread. But alright, I will participate.
-Morrowind : Wanderlust.
-Gothic : Seeks engagement like no other game.
-Vampires the Masquerade Bloodlines : Grimdark charm.
-Deus Ex Human Revolution : Because I find the world interesting.
-New Vegas : Because Whiskey Rose.

Edit: Initially this thread was titled 5 rpgs.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

1. Pong
2. PacMan
3. Space Invaders
4. Asteroids
5. Duck Hunt

When i read lists like
- Morrowind
- Diablo
- Dark souls
- Insert 2 other turds here

I'll pick your list any day

1. Space Invaders
2. Duck Hunt
3. Pong

We need a Duck Hunt 2.0 using an Uzi... just because.



edit... oh! Evolved duck hunt through the ages?

 

[Denim Destroyer]

Doom (any IWAD so Doom 1,2, Final Doom)
Roller Coaster Tycoon through OpenRCT
Thief 1
Sven Co-op
Deus Ex

 

[CanadianCorndog]

Quake - got me interested in how games are made, plus it's great
Noita - insane, endless possibilities
Team Fortress (mainly TF2 but others are good too) - simple, goal oriented, great interaction, support
Fallout New Vegas - not flawless but has lots of details that work nicely together, very design-y, fun to wander around...might have reached my limit with it but my most replayed RPG, more than even classic Ultimas
Galaga - simple perfect arcade game

 

[Dodo1610]

These are the first games I have installed on every PC for the last 10 years.

-Far Cry 2
Still my favourite sandbox stealth FPS

-Stronghold Crusader
just the perfect mix out of RTS and city building

-Beyond Good & Evil
I just love this strange world and Jade is my bae

-Rollercoaster Tycoon 2
literally, my whole family worked at an amusement park so I spent a lot of my childhood there and RCT2 allowed me to build my own. Today it reminds me of that time, besides it's a fantastic management sim.

-Dragon Age: Origins
The game that made me fall in love with party-based CRPGs

 

[<3sRichardSimmons]

1. Goldbox. I know it’s a cheat , but I really do rotate through them far more often than any other games.
2.WoX.
3. Age of Wonders 1.
4. GTA:Vice City. Dumb fun distilled.
5. Ultima Underworld. No immsim has ever come close to its greatness.

I can't say there are any older games that I've loved that I still keep coming back to today. I eventually get sick of even much-loved games (of which there have been many, RGPs and general) after I've played them two or three times and know them well; plus I'm a graphics whore and I can't play a game any more beyond a certain threshold of graphical oldness. I've had more of a "keep returning" thing with multiplayer games and MMOs I've enjoyed. Some games that I've revisited several times over a period of 3 or 4 years running, roughly in chronological order, have been:-

1) BG2
2) City of Heroes
3) Warframe
4) The nuXCOM games
5) Latterly, PF:K

I must confess I've also loaded up some of the Bethesda games every now and then over periods of years - you know, just to see how far the Loverslab folks have gotten with physics and that *ahem.* Purely academic interest, you understand.

I played on Lords of War and Money many, many years ago. It's good for those who need to scratch a daily or weekly HoMM3 itch.
