Ask HN: What game have you replayed more times than any other?

Omg, I love city Skylines I remember i used to play that game alot!!!

Probably Manic Miner!

Minecraft and the Civilization series.

Sim City 4 and Civilization 5. Both are timeless and I still play them a few times a year. Hard to believe Sim City 4 is over 20 years old.

I'd looped through Universal Paperclips[1], exCtly 100 times in a row, when I accidentally clicked on the option at the end to actually exit instead of restart. I figured is was a sign from God

Why? - I managed to get Covid/Long Covid in 2020, and have subsequently been yeeted out of the workforce, and find myself with nothing but time on my hands, and little energy to actually do anything productive.

I've played thousands of hours of Factorio[2], I tend to play a rocket-rush game on an island, and stop when I've cleared the island of biters. The Space Age expansion made it interesting, but there's something about the grind that just killed the fun for me.

I keep playing Exponentile[3], which I think was from someone here on HN. (Yep, it's from MikeBellika, [3a])

Now I find myself playing Arrows Escape[4]

I love MineCraft[5], but I can't play it because it induces vertigo. The same was true of Doom[6], and pretty much all first person shooters from the distant past.

Oh... List minute update before the edit window closes. Railroad Tycoon 3 is still fun too.[6]
