For me it's Diablo II. Granted I've played my fair share of D2 since launch, and also recently on a private server with a comrade from hexbear, but I still feel like years later the game didn't grab me as much as D1 did.
Granted I don't hate D2, but for a game that I keep coming back to, D1 takes the prize.
I also. I still have about 5GB of custom Warcraft 3 maps I passively downloaded over so many years. I can't let go, they were too great. WC3 continues to have been the portal to some of the best TDs to ever exist.
wc3 TD games consumed a large portion of my childhood. i know theres quite a few decent standalone TD games now but its not the same
ugh i sort of wish this were me but i also enjoy those memories and don't want to taint them.
either way i wanna say there are sites where people upload some of the old maps for redownload, you could always contribute to something like that! (if you wanted)
Fair point, I'll have a look and see if I can re-share 'em.
