The Legend of Zelda. My kid finished Breath of the Wild and Tears and wanted more, so I put him on the original.
Hasn't aged a day. Still mind blowing. Still a ton of fun.

A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

The Binding of Isaac. I keep buying it on all platforms. No single run is the same. More expensive than it should be these days but it is my crack.
I've said it before on Lemmy and I'll say it again, but mindustry. It's the game that has held my attention for years and years, it never quite gets old.
The original Star Craft and Brood War. I grew up playing those games so they have a special place in my memories.

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance and Minish Cap, I rarely play things twice but those two are just so pretty and well done. I play them every few years.
I'd like to try Chrono Trigger but for some reason I just can't get into it
Didn't know FF:TA was an Isekai the first time I played it and that somehow added to the experience lol
Ever played Chrono Trigger randomized? After playing it so many times it was fun playing with a new perspective
Surprised no one has said Super Metroid yet. The game just excelled at atmosphere.
Civ 1 and 2. I've been playing since about 2003 and I still play about 15 hours a week on my steam deck

Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines
Love that game, even if its combat system is pretty dated. The world and the writing are top notch. If you get it, make sure you get the community patch so it's not buggy.
Halo: Reach aged very well despite being the black sheep of the excellent OG Halo Trilogy. The more faster pace, exceptional visuals (how this was done on a 360 I do not know), and absurd customizability keep it running today, especially with Forge, Custom sandbox, and now mod support. Everything being coop + splitscreen helps too.
Also Chrono Cross, definitely one of the better stories Square has written.
Undertale. It will always be beautiful even if it doesn't have detailed graphics.
I’m a fan of some even earlier RPGs… Miracle Warriors, Phantasy Star, Phantasy Star II and Ys.
The tank game on Wii Sports (reminiscent of Atari Tanks but coop)
PS1 Final Fantasy Tactics (especially with mods, particularly FFT 1.3)
PC Master of Magic (especially with community mods, Caster of Magic is a favorite)
SNES Super Mario World
SNES Super Bomber Man
