Everyone has them, what are the games despite how many times you've beaten them or how frustrated they make you you always go back to them.

Star Control 2 I always run out of fuel in some unheardof point in space and get killed by those crystal guys but that's never stopped me from trying again every couple of months.

Nethack Never gets old. a few times a year I go full force for a week or two.

Disgaea 1/2 Beautiful games with more than a lifetime worth of secret places, bosses and items

Annnnnd go.

Star Control 1 - While I respect the opinion that part 2 was superior, I love the strategy games because they're small and yet each one feels relevant, plus the editor rocked. I still believe this games needs to be brought up to date, for the children.

That's about it. I've kinda out grown everything else.

Parappa the Rapper. Ditto for Gitaroo Man and Rock Band. Music games in general have a huge amount of replay value for me.

The Fallout games Beer!
Also Planescape, but I've never actually beaten it.

The first Command and Conquer game, it's one of the first computer games I played and I have a lot of memories playing it with my brother. I love everything about it. Great music, cut scenes, sound effects, graphics.

Maybe like Super Mario World and DooM. River City Ransom.

Been a bit like that with Quake and Gridrunner++ too, but I didn't get hold of those before like last year, so it's a bit hard to tell so early.

Possibly stuff I'm forgetting because it's been longer since I've last played it and so on.

Sports
NBA Jam: Tournament Edition (SNES) - Turbo is epic. He's on fire!! Plus you can play as Bill Clinton.
Tecmo Bowl (NES) - beats every Madden game ever.

Side Scroller
Sunset Riders (SNES) - Never have beaten the game yet, I always get so close.
Battletoads & Double Dragon: The Ultimate Team (SNES) - Ditto. The speeder bike levels are so much fun to play with a friend.
Commander Keen: Marooned on Mars! (PC) - I've beaten this game literally around 100+ times. I always go back and get flooded with nostalgia.

FPS
Halo 3 (XBox 360) - Splitscreen multiplayer.
CounterStrike 1.6 (PC) - Fun to play with friends who also suck as much as I do. We don't follow the map objectives, just try to kill each other in funny ways. Hostage maps are the best for this.

Also, Fallout 1/2 never really get old for me.

Likewise for System Shock 2.

Dwarf Fortress
X-Com - UFO Defense
C&C - Red Alert 2 (I like more Starcraft, but for occasional playing RA2 is better)

But I rarely replay games, my "to play" game list is huge.

Metal Storm (NES)

Robotron (via Mame Arcade)

Super Mario World

Doom 1

Contra (NES)

I've been generally playing on my Mame arcade lately when I'm at work, and I'm playing A LOT of Legend of Zelda : Link's Awakening DX on my PSP via emulation.
