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 ii is better.
There's a Linux port that is excellent:

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
