(Saw this question asked on another popular link aggregation website and it got me thinking)
If you could play one game for the first time all over again, what would you choose? This might be because you want to do it all again, or because you don't think you got enough out of it the first time. It could be experiencing the game exactly as you were back then, or experiencing a game with what you know now.
For me, it's Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past, experienced exactly as I was back in 1991.
Nothing comes close to how jaw-droppingly amazed I was by that opening sequence. The epic orchestral score, the cinematic rainstorm, creeping around in the dark... it was a generational leap above anything I'd played on 8-bit computers and consoles, and even the Megadrive. I'd love to play it again without thirty plus years of Nintendo/Zelda knowledge, or without knowing about the dark world.

Freelancer but without being spoilt by modern graphics. The space scenes are gorgeous, but the characters have aged.
I looked it up just now and there is a HD-mod out. And wow so many other Mods with new Content. Maybe I have to try it again
Yeah I wanted to try the HD mod, but haven't found the time yet to do all the patching.
The freelancer community is still actively creating content and mods! Check out HD edition or Crossfire.
Crossfire is silly difficult to begin though. I am still stuck in the early missions :)
