Do you replay older games, while you have a stack of new ones not yet loaded? I find I replay older games as if they were casual, in between new games. Especially those that I can play without the CD's. I have the old copies of games, but am buying the newer copies, so that I can install and use without disks. Yes! I'm a keeper of games, books, ect. It must be a BAAGS problem. So replaying, Broken Sword I, Secret at Lock Ness (needs the CD), and Syberia I, while playing ND-Haunting, Nikol and still trying to get out of the mine in Mummy.

Yes, I definitely do this! Probably more times than is healthy.

I'll often find little details I missed on previous playthrough(s), and often I find the game's story will grow on me even more. Granted, I'll already know how to solve the puzzles, but I play for the full experience And the story is generally the main attraction for me.

I'm currently replaying Gabriel Knight 1, and I've been discovering many amusing as well as poignant remarks I'd missed previously, just by clicking the different icons on everything in each screen. It makes me appreciate and enjoy the game that much more.

Gabriel Knights are one of my favorites. I still find some really tongue in the cheek, funny quotes! Also I keep finding different things I didn't see before.

I will replay a game..Only If I have nothing else to play..

I tried replaying them, but I find I remember everything about it & its not fun anymore..I get bored

I think I would replay more often ,if they came out with a game,that would have a different ending every time you played it...

I install an oldie (sometimes a positively ancient oldie) every few weeks and yet I am still nowhere near having re-played all the oldies I have that I want to re-play

And anyway, although obviously not everyone is of the same opinion, I feel that many of the oldies kick many of the newies waaaay into touch - apart from graphics, possibly

I love to replay my favorite old games. However, I have so many games that I haven't played yet in my collection that I am trying not to do that till I whittle down my unplayed list a good bit.

Some of my favorites are the Gabriel Knight series, the Tex Murphy Series, Dagger of Amon Ra, King's Quest 6, the Broken Sword series, The Longest Journey, etc...

Sharon all the games you mentioned are on my list too. I also found a brand new never opened copy of The Last Express recently. I recall that as a fine game and look forward to firing that up.

I've got a stack of older games that I've never played at all yet including Black Dahlia, Case of the Rose Tattoo, Legend of Lotus spring, The last Resort, Labyrinth of Time, The Dig & Morpheus to name a few, also a few Indies I've picked up - I will get round to them one day!

I never replay my games, I have too many unplayed ones waiting for me. I did try once, but found the graphics just too old.

Add to that the list of waiting casual games and I don't know if I will ever catch up.

i do the same i mean i am currently playing dreamfall but playing old games like broken sword 1,sonic 1-3,the longest journey (just finished) i love old games i think same old games r way better than newer ones

I do replay some older adventure games, especially old favorites. For a long time I had a comparatively few adventure games and a very old computer which wasn't online, so I replayed those I loved best quite often.

For quite awhile I had the solutions to Myst, Freddy Pharkas, Eric the Unready, Journeyman, & Return to Zork memorized (in RTZ this was only to the point where I was always stuck - this was fixed after finding Gameboomers & getting a walkthrough years later). I played King's Quest, Space Quest, & several other Sierra games over and over too, but as much as I enjoyed the humor, I never finished ANY of those..too many timed bits. If you include action adventure, then you could count Nintendo's Zelda, which I replayed quite often (and still do).

But now I have literally dozens of adventure games I haven't played after getting great bulk deals on Trading Post & catching them cheap offline around here. Family now knows to buy me adventure games new for Christmas & Bday - so they do.

I wonder sometimes if I will EVER catch up. Probably not, but at least I'll have that warm, fuzzy feeling of lots to play when I get the chance

Just the same, old favs still call to me. I still replay Zork:GI & RTZ now and then. This winter I have been replaying of all the main Zelda games. Just about finished with Majora's Mask. heh

Unfortunately I don't have any new unplayed games
Scary!!

About replaying, then I've just recently replayed all my classic oldies, so can't even do that! But I love replaying them occasionally

And there's no more casual games I want.
What's an old woman to do? LOL

Yes -- especially if I haven't cared for the new ones I've played recently. I'll go back and play an old game I remember I enjoyed. Sometimes I even play an old DOS or early Windows game that I never got around to playing before rather than playing a new game from the current year.

Ditto.

I love playing my old favorites and treasure them but it is always exciting to receive a new one to play and add to my collection and maybe it will also become one of my favorites. I do agree with Orchid Girl about the graphics in the new games are much nicer which I really like a lot . Right now I have no new ones to play so, this is the time to choose an old game to play, which I am glad I do collect and save my games, so I do have them to replay .

I keep a old 98 computer to play older games.
I find myself playing oldies more and more.
The newer games are getting to be all alike.
I will play a new game and follow it up with a oldie.
My replay favorites are, All the Myst games,URU too.
Sanitarium,Bad Mojo,Blackstone,Syberia's,Amber.Grim Fandango,
Nightlong,Shivers,Broken Sword's,Darkfall,Scratches,
Obsidian and Morpheus.
I am always surprized at how much i forgot from playing
it before.And the new things i see.........Ron

I just checked my D-Fend catalog and I've got just about 75 or so games installed. I guess you could say I replay the oldies a bit

Which reminds me - I've got to go place a bid on eBay for another.

I've been doing alot of replaying old games lately ssgamer. I enjoy them more when I replay!

Maybe its an old age thing, but, I rarely buy new games anymore. Or, maybe I've gotten too particular. Like, a Jonathan game I will buy immediately w/o any information about it. There have been too many games in the last few years that just aren't that much fun or interesting. Same old same old. So, yes, I certainly DO replay old games and still enjoy them as much as ever.

whats a jonathan game ?

Jonathon Boakes. He created the Dark Fall series and The Lost Crown.

I tend to replay old games when the one I am playing is a particularly boring one. This was the case when I was playing (or trying to) Culpa Innata. I managed to replay both Runaway 1&2 whlst struggling with Culpa. Really enjoyed the Runaways. Gave up on Culpa.

just a thought -playing " Sanitarium" and up next will be " Frankenstein-eyes of the monster"how cool is that???

Sounds cool to me

Not only do I personally experience great pleasure from re-playing my old, very old and even ancient games but I also feel I'm paying tribute to those gifted people who first thought of such a thing and then translated thought into action

Because without them would we be playing the sophisticated games of today ??
