Vagrant Story. I know you only have to complete it two times to get the 100% but that's a lot of hours till you get the rood inverse and the extra stuff. Plus it's still one of the bestest games out there so yeah.
Super Mario Bros. 3, as well as Super Mario World. Throw in Yoshi's Island too. Oh, and Symphony of the Night is great for replay value, as well as the 1st and 2nd games in the overall series. Megaman 2 and 3 get played over again from time to time as well.
It's fairly obvious I would say Europa Universalis 2 and Victoria, which allow you to play any nation in the world from 1419-1820 and 1835-1920 respectively. Of course, it's just as obvious that I would add other TBS games like Master of Orion II, Civilization IV, Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri and Alien Crossfire, and Romance of the Three Kingdoms (Elmdor ). SimCity 4 also qualifies. It's also fairly obvious that very few of the above games have a significant fanbase here, given that they are all in a slower style.
SMAC/AX is also very quotable.
"As the Americans learned so painfully in Earth's final century, free flow of information is the only safeguard against tyranny. The once-chained people whose leaders at last lose their grip on information flow will soon burst with freedom and vitality, but the free nation gradually constricting its grip on public discourse has begun its rapid slide into despotism. Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master."

Super mario world would have to be one of the all time best games for replay value. Not sure how i missed that one. That game brings back lots of good memories from when my cousin gave us his super nintendo. All we did was play that game, we probably beat it a good 30-40 times from when i was age 6 to age 9 or 10
If compilations count, then that Mario All-Stars/World cart that came out right near the end of the SNES' life is a clear winner. That thing has soaked up more hours of my life than pretty much anything else.
If not:
For multiplayer, SSB:M gets more play than a morality crusader in a whorehouse.
For singleplayer, it's kinda hard to go past the Romancing Saga games.
gta san andreas was good all 3 time threw

Any Mario game, Diablo II (online play), Contra (any game in the series will do), Streets of Rage 3 (Sega Genesis).
This kid has to be young. Xbox young.
No gamer older than that can have seriously avoided playing a single mario game.
I forgot to mention any game in the Gradius and R-Type series'.
Right now I would have to say Star Wars Knights of the old republic Since It is rather fun going both light and dark sides throughout the game
