The only adventure game I have replayed is Sanitarium.

I''ve played most of the Sim games many times, along with Civilization and Creatures. What these seem to have in common is that you can''t ''win'' them. For the same reason I replay tetris-style games that just keep getting harder until you loose.

Lots of old apple II GS games: oregon trail, odell lake, invisible bugs, etc., the common feature of these being that you can win them in one sitting. Same with puzzle games like tesserae, mahjongg, solitaire.

Does it count as replaying a game if you''ve never won it? I play Mario-style games regularly but I always get bored or get an eyestrain/adrenaline headache before I get to the end.

So the general rule seems to be that I don''t replay games that require you to work hard or keep playing until you''ve finished them. But I''ll shell out more money for a one-play RPG or adventure game any day because the experience is so much richer.

Team Fortress Classic or Counterstrike. I can play those for 10+ hours a day.

all time favorites:
Chrono Trigger (new game+ was a good idea)
Final Fantasy 3

and multi player Starcraft/Broodwars has eaten a few night of my time

I think therefore I code.
