The Civilization games are definitely ones to go back to from time to time.
I've also revisited StarCraft and Warcraft III quite often, initially planning only 'to have a quick go' but ending up replaying the whole damn storyline again.

Hm, I sense another XCom fan here. I also liked the 3rd one, Apocalypse and played through it. I also liked Jagged Alliance 2 at that time, and for me, those were the 2 best games if you like the genre. Later then came Silent Storm, but that one was really tough.

Answering the threads actual question... I revisit a lot of older PC titles a lot.
I agree that 3D games age much faster than sprite based games of the Amiga era. But revisiting older PC titles has the big advantage that now we can whack all of the settings up to maximum and see and play the games in their highest settings with very fast frame rates, to experience the games as intended. A complete contrast to when we all played them on release where we would have needed to play around with the graphics settings to get the game running smoothly.
Out of all games on the PC one of my favourites still remains as Return to Castle Wolfenstein. I still play that right through at least once a year. It is a great game with brilliant atmosphere and gameplay.
Other games do play often include Freelancer, Grand Prix 4, Baldur's Gate series, Morrowind and Oblivion (Morrowind still feels bigger, more complex and as if I still have much more to explore and do), Warcraft III, Dungeon Siege, BF1942, X series, Half Life and its expansions and mods, Quake 3... the list goes on.
I've got loads of favourite PC games from the last 10+ years and often have a thumb through my collection and decide to replay something.
If you haven't played a classic game in years, it's never too late to start!
I play Command & Conquer Zero hour loads (with mods currently playing with bengs laser/demo/nuke general mod) i also quite often revisit Warcraft 1. I still like Meglomania (that Zetro mentioned) as well as goal i like to put it on easy with a soft ref put 20 mins each half and hammer in as many goals as i can![]()

Megalomania is a brilliant game, although it has to be the Amiga version, and not the PC one.![]()

What's wrong with the PC version?
