I feel like most people who have been playing video games since childhood have one or more of a select few games that they go back and replay every few years.

For me I’ve been replaying Pokémon Emerald Version recently. Nothing like nostalgia and being able to better enjoy aspects of a game you didn’t understand as a kid. ☺️

Those older antipiracy measures are something else. I remember playing Spyro 3 on my PSX, the console was a modded one and the game was not original.

Only years later did I find out that the game wiping your progress, collected eggs disappearing, random crashes in the last boss fight were part of the anti piracy measures. There was a part where one of the NPCs mentions that the game has figured out it's not a valid copy and who knows what might happen.
