Of course the wargame I play over n over would have to be Combat Mission and Panzer Osfront or Norbsoft's Scourge of war series which probably leads the pack and Steel Panthers.

Absolutely (both) …….. just not a big fan of the pitcher and fielders rating system in APBA ,prefer SOMs pitcher lefty/righty breakdowns along with its fielder range and error probability being calculated separately along with all its depth pertaining to player individual ratings . Even though APBA quality blows SOM away (game components and cards) and probably calculates a more historical team outcome at the end of the day I enjoy Som’s detail in (super advance)

I play a lot of draft leagues and APBA gears their rating system toward historical “team” results as Som’s is geared to give you the cold hard facts of every individual player making it more adaptable towards draft leagues

Also, speaking of Old, Shadowrun from console. It was a fun RPG. I don't really "replay" it, but I keep coming back to it once per year or two.

why?

i do, i use windows 8.1 pro 64bit, and downloaded a free program called dosbox launcher and all my old dos games work fine, same as any for win 3.1,98SE plus any version as well tbh, ME,NT 4.0, vista and xp & win 7 any version using the compatibility tools included in windows 8.1.

tbh not had a single game as of yet that couldn't be run so far

I play that and Age of Empires frequently too. No reason to stop playing the classics.

Had every baseball & football season from 1970-1985. Probably should have hung on to them but got tired of moving them from state to state. Also had the college football game.

No computer game has been as good although MicroLeague and Earl Weaver Baseball is why I stopped getting the Strat teams each year.

Jagged Alliance 2

There are many others I like, however these are the ones I spend more time playing, perhaps because of their replayability

I did a long long time ago. Even had the cards that came in those small envelopes. Collected for years back in the 70's. Tried new ones like Big League Manager and Negamco. Always came back to APBA though. Then I think it was 95' I went digital for a couple of years and then got hooked on Front Page Sports Baseball in 98' (wish they would bring that back) mostly been playing OOTPBB up until the 2013 year then got tired of just paying the guy $39.95 a year for a roster list and not much improvements to the game. He's since changed his style once again by going 3D but not exactly what I want. A floating ball on the screen is not my idea of 3D baseball. I wanna see players and I wanna see action again like Front Page Sports Baseball.

Front Page Sports Baseball 98' was the best of them all. Gave you good statistical outcomes and good graphics to boot. My favorite fan line was : You ain't Nothin" you shouda heard the guy when he said it too funny.
