here's a few
star control 2
arcanum
chrono trigger
and I also agree that HOMM3 was the best, then 2, then 1. Then it doesn't matter anymore.

homm3 is one of those games i can always come back to. it's just aged incredibly well (except for the graphics i guess but even those have their charm). i think part of the reason is that the interface is really good. most complex 90s strategy games are a pain to control today but homm3's interface was near perfect and most of the modern sequels and clones only improve minimally on it, if at all. also none of them are anywhere close in terms of mechanics design ofc.

definitely
if they kept releasing more expansions for homm3 I would keep buying them. I always love the feeling of the new encounters when playing a new addon.
It's one of those games where all it needs is more content and maps.
Also the map editor is awesome.

I have a ton of favorite games, but the one I played the most as a kid, and got a ton of enjoyment out of, is Harvest Moon: Back to Nature

Two old games that I played a lot when they were new and that I still can install and enjoy (and do install and enjoy, not just talk about them) are Panzer General (first one, MSDOS-version from 1994) and Close Combat A Bridge Too Far (second game in the series).
There are some other great old games like The Ancient Art of War or the SSI Goldbox Series or first Civilization or Colonization or Battle Isle 2 but I never play them anymore really. Well I install AAoW now and then to play a few scenarios, but not by far as much as I replay Panzer General (or Panzer General 2). Even installed dosbox on one of my Android tablets to play Panzer General and it works great. Probably the best Android turn-based strategy game, with Advance Wars played in GBA emulator on second place.

That mask is super awesome. Majora's Mask is definitely a good choice. Old Earthbound - not sure any game will ever recapture the experience I got from that game New Hearthstone - I'm not proud of it, but I have to let the facts speak for themselves. I play way too much to deny it. |

Half Life 2 still feels new to me, while Half Life 1 feels old.
Around the year 2002 3D graphics became so advanced and the progress on them slowed so much that basically everything from that moment onward feels new...
PS: Also I stopped actively following AAA games around 2003 so maybe that's a factor :D

I guess thats totally valid... I've pretty much stopped playing AAA in last 2 years or so... but i still play shit loads of indie games.. and some of them fall into fave game lists.. like FTL etc... Although as a AAA environment artist.. the level of difference between HL2 and current games... it's staggering!!! seriously staggering... |

I don't know very much about the technical side of 3D art, but I always see the subjective difference between 1998-2002 as bigger than between 2004-2014 for example |

I agree the perception is less ground breaking... but in my eyes it's like you had early cars and everyone was like "woah no horses!!!" and now you take cars for granted even though they can park themselves and are fuel efficent and safe as houses... Its the evolution of that intial idea and the small bits added/taken away to make it somthing uncomparable... |

King Arthur's Gold ( Beta, the one on Steam ) is my favourite. It's fun and competitive.
