What "older" games have you recently started playing again?

[redblueberry1]

Recently, I have been craving to play Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life. This is actually the first Harvest Moon I played and I was immediately hooked. I love Another Wonderful Life because there are more customization options, as well as the choice to being a girl . So, I've dragged out my Gamecube and have begun playing them again. Something about farming is relaxing. It's interesting how much you can lose yourself in a game, and get away from college life to farm life. Haha.

So what have you guys started playing again? I suppose games on systems like the gamecube, playstation 2, xbox. Games you grew up playing and provide a great nostalgic feeling.

Oh, I guess the most recent ones I replayed were Sheep, Dog 'N' Wolf (which I think was called Sheep Raider in NA) and Spyro: Gateway to Glimmer (which was Ripto's Rage in NA) both for the PS1...
Also FantaVision which was a PS2 launch title!

Oh but on the subject of Harvest Moon, I recently restarted the first Rune Factory (not that old especially for EU where it didn't come out until freakin' 2009). I got my parents to get it shipped from NA because it came out in 2007 there and at the time there was no sign of it coming to UK. Glorious non-region locked Nintendo, what happened to you?

Right now, I'm playing the classic three Fallouts (1, 2, Tactics) Half-Life 2 Episodes 1 and 2, and the first Deus Ex.

Banjo Kazooie, Diddy Kong Racing, Animal Crossing Wild World

Well, none yet. But I would love to get back to the ol' Sonic Adventure series. Now that was my childhood right there.

Aw yay, I was hoping someone would be playing Spyro. I loved all of those games, I could play them for hours.
I kinda liked Rune Factory, I gave up on it though because (I think) I felt it was too hard to advance. That might not have been the reason really, I just feel like that could have been my reason for to stop playing. Haha

I loved playing Sonic Adventure Battle 2. That was actually the only Sonic game I played heavily. I of course started playing the one on Genesis. I feel like pretty much everyone started there though. Ha

Jurassic Park:Operation Genesis, played it on PS2 about 12 years ago, was a big fan of Jurassic Park and dinosaurz in general. I used to like building a fully functional park, unlock the really big carnivores and make a "special" save file, then let the park go traditional Jurassic Park style where everyone gets eaten (either that or a twister comes without me noticing and ends up killing people and dinosaurs, and people get eaten that way too). I bought it again on PC a few years ago though, and picked it up again recently - the game doesn't really like Vista or Windows 7, so I get CTD's every now and again, but stays stable enough most the time so that I can enjoy it.

Sonic Adventure 2:Battle. Played that on the Gamecube around 9 or 10 years ago, loved the Chao garden and found most of the missions in the game fun (excluding the Tails/Eggman mech missions) as well as the soundtrack. Bought it again a couple of years ago on Steam, and have been playing it on and off since then.

Was playing Pokemon Fire Red and Ruby a while ago, but I guess they kinda don't count seeing as it's been about 6 months since I've played them.

 

[GalacticGhost]

I played Animal Crossing: Wild World around two weeks ago.

...This thread has made me think about getting out Super Monkey Ball for the Gamecube and playing that. Because the ones on DS and Wii were my childhood. Aaaaand it's one of the oldest games I own right now.

And speaking of Gamecube games, man do I miss Super Smash Bros. Melee, Papar Mario: TTYD and both Sims games on the Gamecube... Ugggghhh the nostalgia is real ;-;

 

[gameboy]

I'm playing Fire Emblem Awakening. Not super old but I think it's been a few years now. I'm thinking about restarting my Wind Waker file because I'm missing the last heart piece and I've gone through the game 3 times trying to look for it. I even made my sister go through it once to check if I missed it something. I have a sneaking suspicion that our game is glitched haha. That's what I tell myself anyway to make myself feel better... For REALLY old games, I'm playing a bit of the beginning Tomb Raider games. Just when I'm bored though and I'm not restarting or going through the whole thing.

Donkey Kong 64, it really is a fun game still and the graphics are really impressive actually!

 

[Zulehan]

Months after buying it, finally decided to take Kirby's Return to Dreamland (Wii) off the shelf and actually play through it. Trying to 100% it, and about a fifth of the way done.

 

[Rasha]

none right now but I've been thinking of playing the old tomb raiders on the ps1 (1-4) also digimon world 2 and 3

 

[rosetti]

Zoo Tycoon on pc, it looks worse than I remembered but I used to love it so much

 

[Captain Crazy Chicken]

The Legendary Starfy. And MAN, is it AWESOME.

 

[Contessa]

Super Mario bros on the ds, I've had it for a long time and I've started playing through it again.

 

[GuerreraD]

GOLDEN SUN !!

Now that's a game I never get tired of. Actually, it's not like I ever stop playing them (the three) for long, so maybe the title of "started playing again" doesn't really fit here... Anyway, I got very excited for the last E3 in July since there were rumors about a fourth game finally in the making, but sigh, it looks they were only that, rumors SO CRUEL AND UNFAIR!

 

[redblueberry1]

I love everyone's responses! Has anyone played that Hamtaro game? Hamtaro: Ham Ham Heartbreak for the Gameboy Advance? It just came to me and I was so frustrated because I was never able to finish it. I think I was at the part where I had to look across the beach and a scene would play. I could be remembering that wrong since the last time I attempted that game must have been 5 years ago or something. Haha. Still, a very cute game. I miss Hamtaro.

Don't wanna spoil it for you but, there is a hard version of the story mode to be unlocked and believe me, it really IS hard! I completed the normal story mode 100% without real trouble but the hard mode is so difficult, i only managed to complete it for 88%

 

[DarkDesertFox]

I'm going to start playing Super Mario Galaxy 2 soon. It's got perfect ratings on various sites and I've never even played it yet. Since I love Rosalina and the first Super Mario Galaxy I really want to play it. Oh yeah, and I've been playing the Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games series. I always open up those games every year to try and beat old records and to get into the season. The winter Olympic games of the series feel so nice to play when it's snowing out.

 

[Balverine]

I've been playing a lot of Harvest Moon 3 (GBC) lately!
I love those darn pixels, lol
