Hi Boomers..
I read alot of post..about some boomers using the words Its a Keeper
I like to know what makes a game rate as being a keeper in your library of games.
For me it is Beyond The Spirits EyE...(Why) First off let me start out by saying I never thought any game was really a keeper.
Until I played this game...I think I truly loved this game because it was developed by an independent,plus this game is amazingly beautiful & spooky at the same time..Also the story line kept me in my seat where I had to finish it...If I was up all nite..I didn't care !!
Thanks For any replys..
Luv Dar

Well, I'm a terrible one for hanging on to games anyway, so everything's a keeper for me. I even keep the "duds" that I had a horrible time with. Maybe in the back of my mind I'm thinking that they'll be like a fine wine and improve with age. But really, a keeper is a game that for whatever reason, be it story, graphics, characters, you know you will play again (and again) at some point in the future.

Hi I can't pin it down !! The games I have kept are of such a great variety. So I'll have to say .... If I thoroughly enjoy a game .... Then it's a "keeper" Otherwise I will trade it on or sell it or just plain give it away - because for someone else it will be a keeper If I'd kept every game I've actually played over the years, then my house would be full of games and I'd be sleepin' rough out there somewhere Cheers.

My very first game was Morpheus. I'll never give it up although it won't play on either of my computers. I still remember it as wonderful. Naturally, others have been added to the list, but due to space available they've had to go. But not the Gabriel Knight games.

I thought we were suppose to keep all games! Unless you have extra copies.

For me, a Keeper is a game that I know I will play again. If I play a game and playing it once was enough, it's time for it to find a home with someone who will appreciate it more than I. So if I will replay it, it stays. If not, off it goes. Helps to control the amount of space needed to store games. "Q"

For me the replayability factor has to be such that each time I play it I discover something that I may have missed before and I enjoy it all the more. I have played Under A Killing Moon at least three times but I get a thrill evading the laser beams one has to get pass. I try to see if I can get past that point a little faster than the time before.I only get rid of games that have caused me to gain a few more gray hairs trying to complete it, having mastered that I tend to sale/trade it and move on.
