The other day my son was messing around on my PS4. He went into the library and launched Geometry Wars³: Dimensions.

My wife and I heard the music and were like “YES!” and now our family is re-addicted to this game…after 6 years or 7 years of never touching the thing.

What are games you forgot you had and “fell” back into?

    I have tons of games on Steam I forgot to have them. In example I forgot that I had Skyrim and never played it. I’ve tried it this year for the first time in my life, just to see how it is. And immadiately could not play it, because the intro was bugged and I thought its a puzzle I had to solve. Took me until I understood that I had to limit the fps to 60, because Skyrim is buggy if you play it on a 120 Hz monitor.

      I thought that the game engine restricted it to 60 Hz, and one had to fiddle with INI files to get it to ignore the 60 Hz constraint.

      From the description of a mod that works around the problem:

      If you’ve tried to uncap the framerate for Skyrim, you’ve seen the ridiculous ways that the physics engine responds to playing over 60fps.

      Always be careful going back to play older PC games. Often times there are fixes you have to apply because certain normalized features of modern PCs weren’t really considered when the game came out.
