Slay the Spire probably tops that list for me. It's a deck building roguelike and each run goes for approximately an hour (or less when you die)

Heroes III
Hell yea, this game still has a huge active community, a testament to its longevity
indeed, it's freaking AWESOME. Nailed it there.
I love, too, that people TWO DECADES LATER still make custom fan maps for it
I still play it man. I think I've played it at least once every year since it came out. Crazy. And it's still good. And I even showed my kids and they like it too.
Heroes ii is better.
There's a Linux port that is excellent:

Me and my kids do whole family games. Highly enjoyable.
never liked it... but I think it's because I was introduced to Heroes iii first, so in comparison the second game just looks UUUGGG-LYYY
Funny how the first taste of something is often the defining taste.
It is pretty uggo.
A game from '99? Wow that's some replay value for sure!
Chess. Don't know release date, but Heroes III based on it
Almost any edition of Civilization
Civ 4 had the best mods
I don’t remember if it was 4 or not, but one of them had a mod that made everything cost scarce resources to build. It also introduced a bunch of new resources like timber and cloth.
It made the game almost impossible but I still loved it.
I mostly remember playing a total overhaul that turned the whole game into a fantasy themed world. Every civ had totally different playstyles, and there was a world-ending armageddon event that everyone had to deal with.
Unfortunately I can't get it to work on my modern computer anymore, otherwise i'd keep playing it
I vaguely recall that. I don’t think I got very far in it but it was pretty cool.
I played the litrtal shit out of civ5
Phantasy Star and Super Mario World. Play through both of them every 10 years or so. I got my son into Super Mario World a few years ago when we got him a Super Nintendo mini. He has played through it a few times since then. He never got into Phantasy Star but I played through it again last year when I picked it up for the Switch for $5.
Phantasy star? Wow that brings me back.
Yes, just the original on sega master system though. I have tried to get into the others but just can't seem to do it. I have started both 2 and 3 but no luck. Maybe I will try again.
Yeah I am old. I know.
My favorite old school RPG was Lunar on Sega CD. I don't think it was ever re-released.
Never played that one. I switched over to Nintendo consoles when Super Nintendo was released. I did play a lot of Sega Genesis with my friends and years later I had a dreamcast.
I had Sega/Sega CD and eventually Playstation. Super NES was the one Nintendo console that I missed as a kid.
I really play video games anymore, so im pretty far behind the new consoles.
I love Phantasy Star Universe
Chess
Sleeper pick: Banished
Never heard of it.
Check it out
Age of Empires series.
Definitely get a kick out of replaying Cyberpunk 2077. Have to give it a few months between replays, but there are a lot of builds and so many ways to approach the missions that it always feels new.
On my third playthrough I found, totally by accident, a whole new section of a mission that I'd never seen before, and completing it made a major change to one of the storylines.
I've never played it. I know it had a rough launch, but heard it got better.
I agree with Super Mario World. The final fantasy games are great to reply too. SNES overall has lots of games that are fun over and over. Even my daughters like the games like 30 years later
I always go back to tetris. Never disappoints.
Chess
+1 for chess
Probably some randomly generated sandbox game like Minecraft.
A big Hades fan -so much replay value. I run it on a m1 MacBook Pro with a ps5 controller. Gaming anywhere is a big win
Red Dead Redemption II
Rogue
Ghost Of Tsushima
