re: What game experiences do you wish you could recreate?

There are many but one of the first games that popped into my head was Starflight for the Sega Genesis (a console remake).

This was basically Mass Effect before Mass Effect existed. I remember this game consuming every waking thought for nearly a month. It came with a big fold-out star map and a log you could read of the previous captain who tried your mission and failed. (It was really sort of a hint guide but 11 year old me didn't realize that at the time.)

My dad and I played it for hours and hours until we beat it. I wish I could go back in time and play it again for the first time.
