The one game that never gets old?

[Colin]

I can't 1 life, but I've fluked a few 1cc's.

[garrz32]

Super Metroid

[Tobal]

A have a few

Fire Pro Wrestling (insert latest edition)
Heroes of Might and Magic 3
Rollercoaster Tycoon 2
Final Fantasy XI

[DeathAdder]

Golden Axe and Shinobi for me.

Amazed someone gave Galaxians the nod over Galaga.

[Zaki]

I can't 1 life, but I've fluked a few 1cc's.

Let's score compete at some point

[Escape-To-88]

More than one, but:
Final Fight
Street Fighter 2 (CE and HF)
Super Mario World

[Brad]

Return Fire

[vanpeebles]

Turf Masters

[gunrock]

Boulderdash on C64

or more recently: Tekken 3

[Protocol Penguin]

Turf Masters

That’s one retro game I can (and do) play with non-gamers (or casual gamers) who enjoy it. That’s always a good sign of quality.

[JazzFunk]

Contra 3.

[JazzFunk]

Impossible Mission on C64, too. It's perfect and the slickness and speech still impress.

[MartyG]

Skyrim and Disgaea. You can never throw enough Prinnies, d00d.

[Cepp]

First one that comes to mind is Super Mario Bros, I've been playing it since I was a kid and still enjoy running through it now,

For me it is Streets of Rage / Barr Knuckle as I keep wanting to go back to it after a brief spell away from it. Everything just shouts playability to me and it is always a pleasure to revisit, time and time again...

The music is not bad neither...
