The first game that comes to mind for me is Civilizations 4. I've probably spent hundreds of hours playing but after getting used to 5 and 6 I have a really hard time going back. Going back and forth between 5 and 6 I need to rethink some strategies but with 4 I feel like I need to rethink everything. I don't know if it's because of the tech tree layout in combination with the civics system, things like unit stacking, or maybe just a bunch of little things but it takes me a while to readjust.

Pretty much any jrpg for Gameboy, DS, PSP and PS2 (haven't tried many newer). I loved them a lot as a kid/teen but now when I try to play them do I get bored very quickly... I think the audience is supposed to be kids and teens so I am not surprised I don't enjoy them anymore

I get you. I've been going through a lot of "best of" lists for various consoles and it's tough going back and playing them because they were obviously made for a younger audience and and having never played them as a kid I don't really feel the same pull.

The Kirby games are a big one. I've seen a lot of recommendations but can't really get into them.

I recently replayed Legend of Dragoon, and I'd do it again.

I tried to play Golden Sun again though, and it just has WAY too much dialogue. And not in a good way. Just lots of filler dialogue that doesn't add depth; it just restates the story and what's currently going on.

That's where an emulator comes in handy, there's a ton of text to fast forward through in golden sun.

I'm playing a Steam release of an old PC JRPG (Trails in the Sky) and it has the best feature ever...

A turbo button that doesn't affect the sound of the game. Dialogue plays, music plays at the normal rate, no pitch shifting... it's glorious.

I'd pay for any emulator that could support something like that for every game.
