What games NEVER get deleted from your HD?

[BlueWeasel]

You know, the game that always has a place on your drive. Reformats and crashes don't matter -- the game is the first one you reinstall and the one that never gets deleted.

For me, it's the original Quake. This is the game that started my FPS gaming and I still enjoy playing it to this day. Modifications and texture updates are still be made for the game, and you'd be amazed how well it looks now compared to what it looked like when it was released almost 10 years ago.

For me, I just don't play games much compared to the past. Games come and go on my system, yet Quake1 is always there. Playing Rocket Arena against some Omnicron bots on the highest skill is still very enjoyable.

What games are like that for you?

I don't delete any games unless I don't like them enough to finish them the first time.

All steam games... everything else gets deleted after I get bored. It's not that their all that good, it just I don't have discs for those so It'd be a bitch and a half to redownload all of them.

I usually don't uninstall games unless I need HDD space (rare) for something more important (even more rare). Most of the time I go back and play games that I haven't played in a long time.

I'm just the opposite. Usually, if I've finished a game or lost interest, it gets uninstalled...for no other reason than I'm anal.

In a way, I'm still using the same habits as when I played games on my 100MB drive. Back then, I simply didn't have enough space to have more than a few games installed. Now, I do the same thing in a way with a 250GB drive. Old habits die hard.

Yep. Tried it but couldn't get over the fact that it could never fully recapture every nuance of the original. That's why I still have my 486 rig in storage for the day when I get a bigger room.
