Curious as to everyone's "god game" that they can play as many times as they want and never get tired of!
......I still haven't found mine. TWD was probably clostest. I got pissed at it, but I don't think I got TIRED of it.

TAF, and any of my Gtlb EMs
Embryon or Flash Gordon. All dmd games can get stale or frustrating while the classics never give me that feeling.
None of the big name. MM, AMF, MB are great. But you can get your fill. And while my favorite game is LOTR a deep game can suck the life out of you. Sorry, but after the excitement of a DTR you feel kind of empty going back to the start. And the supper long deep stuff is just painful, grueling stuff. Are you really going to tell me after a 30 minute plus game you feel like hitting start "just one more time"!
I like a shorter but fun "one more time" game you can have even a good game but tell yourself "I think I can do a little better right now". I'm not good enough to hit Wet Willy on WH2O every time, to LITZ on TZ, rescue the girl on Creech while worrying if the Super is at full. So games like those can keep me happy.
Also the System-11 games like Diner and Taxi. I loved The Lord of the Rings. I thought the Silmarillion was chewing nails.
Whirlwind is my favorite. I never get tired of playing it. I had it for years. Traded it in a package for white water. Bought another one 4 days later cause I missed it so bad

If you can only own one game, any game will get boring, no matter how high it sits on the Top 100 list. Variety is the spice of life.

+1 Boomerang and Night Rider are never leaving my collection.
Quoted from jkashani:None, the trick is don't play them for a while and they become exciting again.

This and this. Nothing is great for one game at home. If I loved the play and theme of a game I would move from game to game for years without getting to a wizard mode. I knew if I overplayed I get tired of it.
I remember when I got an HUO RCT. Looked great, but I set it up near the front door of the living room door to purposely overplay. Within 2 weeks I was at the point I toured the park twice on ball 1. Had to go.
TWD, as difficult as it can be
Gilligan's Island
Iron Man. For a very good reason. It's simple, yet difficult. Iron Man has a deadly simple rule set. That's why I completely ignored it when it came out. "One ball game". But then I picked up a VE after they were out for a bit, and I considered it cheap. So I bought it on a whim figuring I'd get most of my money back out 3 months later when I sold it. And I was just blown away by the game. It's extraordinary.
I own a bunch of games, so a game has to have something special to latch into my collection. Sometimes they are here for a short time, and once in a while one just hits. IM was worthy of calling a keeper. I call it simple because the rules are so easy to understand. But I keep mine set up just a speck outside my skill level. That way I get that classic pinball perfection of easy to understand, but difficult to master. On the very rare occasion I get Do Or Die Hurryup, I feel like a pinball God. But then I'll play 50 games and not get close.
Oh, and fast games. 10 minutes will give me 3 games played. Good stuff, because if I want longer games, I move to a different title.
