A game that you’ve played countless times
I’ve played many games many times. They’re mostly older titles, from an age when I actually replayed games – something I rarely do under the heavy burden of today’s endless stream of new releases. My access to piles of backlogged titles was limited, and time was far less precious a resource to me, so I played the games I had… and I played them repeatedly.
For the purposes of the 30-Day Challenge, I’ll discount multiplayer titles, otherwise Goldeneye 007 and Mario Kart 64 would probably take top honors here. I don’t play much multiplayer anyway, and I think counting those sessions is an unfair measure for a question like this.
This is still a battle of Nintendo titles, though, and out of Super Mario Bros., SMB 3, Super Mario World, and The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, I think the winner has to be Super Mario Bros. 3. There was a time when I played this game almost constantly: I played alone, with friends, with my cousins, you name it. It was a pivotal point in the evolution of the Mario franchise, and clearly one of great significance in my own gaming career. I could play to completion in just a short span of time, or draw out the experience and venture through all of its interesting worlds and levels as thoroughly as I desired.
I kinda feel like firing it up right now.
