Some people would argue it's not technically a set of old games, but I've just finished the Ratchet and Clank HD Trilogy and that hasn't aged too badly at all, I had lots of fun. I often go back to Gen IV Pokemon games as well, but they're only like 2 or 3 years old anyway.

Actually, it's very rare I go back to a game that was released before 2007, guess I'm just not a fan of aged games.

I recently started playing Alien Breed: Tower Assault again, after finishing the Evolution Trilogy, brings back memories.
I've got that on the Amiga CD-32, awesome game.

At the moment, I'm playing a game from my childhood, Jet Force Gemini. It's so, so good.

I've also just picked up Skies of Arcadia, and I'm looking forward to playing that next.
Grew up with an Amiga 500, it no longer works, so emulator is the only way.
Well...I burn my CD-32 games, because they are some of the hardest games to get. I do have Rise of the Robots on disc though *shudders*.

You can also make a CD-32 into a fully functioning Amiga if you have a floppy disc drive. You can also play original Amiga titles via compilation discs. I have two, which is well over a thousand games if you put both together.

End of thread, ladies and gents.

This is the one I am currently replaying, and am playing some fan-made mission packs as well. Never gets old.

FOR BALDURS GATE!

I never really put it down for longer than a few months before going back to that incredible game.

im currently playing through the legacy of kain soul reaver for the first time, and it pretty cool, the story and characters so far have been intresting and the combat has been good if alittle bit shallow. i also really like how the vampire are portrayed in the game, it good to see some proper monster vampire for once.

With some games graphics do not matter that much. I am of course thinking of the epic grand strategy game Europa Universalis II. That game never gets old!

I'm currently playing through xenosaga episode 1,2 and 3 . The story is amazing , i haven't played 3 yet , but i'm replayig the first two to get back into it . I wannna know how the story ends .
They had the budget cut short, plus internal strife caused the series to be finished at part 3 of 6 (Xenogears would have been part 5). Still, they decide to end the thing with a BANG!
Although stupid censors cut out all instances of blood.

I've recently been playing Psychonauts. Found a copy of it at my local game shop and remembered the amount of fun I had on it.

I almost exclusively play older titles. I don't venture into new ones as much. They tend to be pretty terrible.
At the moment though, I am playing Heroes of Might and Magic III.

Oh snap you serious? I didn't know this . Without spoiling it does the third at least give some sense of closure? Or do they pull a MAss effect 3 ?I hope i wont regret going through the series :/

Armored Core for Answer. Not old, I realise, but I do an SS run on a new account every time I feel the urge.

Every few years I tend to revisit the following:

Final Fantasy 6
Tales of Symphonia
Warcraft 3 + expansion
Ninja Gaiden 1&2(NES)

I'm replaying the Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver games after finding and buying them from GOG.com. Amazing story, amazing characters, and amazing soundtrack. In fact one of the theme songs is one of my favorite theme songs in any game, ever.


Also Legacy of Kain: Defiance has my favorite boss fight of all time in it.

It can also boast one of hell of a soundtrack
Wow it's rare to see someone else who knows the glory of Timesplitters! Fantastic game series, multiplayer was heavily abused around here we played that waaaaaaay too much.


OT: Duke Nukem 3D, didn't play Forever, don't have an interest in forever however Duke 3D on PC rocks, especially with mouse control.

I put Oni back on my PC last week. It's flawed, but I'm enjoying it. I didn't realize that there's a fandom for this game that's still quite strong.

Yesterday, my kids were asking me about NFS, so I tried to put NFS Underground on my PC. Because I made a typo in my CD-Key (I put them all on a page and stuck them in a jewel case) I put NFSU2 on and I'm having a blast with my indestructible MX-5 midlife crisis engine.

It does give a sense of closure, and at the same time, it really goes out of its way to show you how SO MUCH MORE could have been put in. Heck, the head writer left at Episode 2. But whatever the case, Episode 3 closes a lot of loose ends. And quite nicely at that, VERY SATISFYING. It certainly is an "Earn your happy ending" bit. Most notable is how the whole thread about Gaignun-Jr.-Albedo gets wrapped up. Nearly had me to tears with that, considering what Albedo went through.

Oh, and be sure to stick to after the end credits. Do this for every game. Also, once you finish EPisode 3, go to Youtube and watch all the "proper" cut scenes.

Great. , you had me scared there for a momen . And i know about watching after the credits , i have played 1 and 2 before , but i just recently got 3 , so i'm replaying all of them . More games should do this , have somethin after the credits . Somethig to make you want to buy/play the next game , as well as making you go "WAIT WHAT?" .

But for now i'm only half-way through the second , and can't wait to play the third . On this that bothers me now ( i didn't notice it before replaying 1 and 2 ) is the change in character design and voice acting. I mean what happened between 1 and 2. Even though the second game starts litterally 10 seconds after the first games ending . Yet momo , Rubedo ( Jr.) , kos-Mos , shion , don't look the same . Half the cast don't sound the same . And most of the characters attitudes are different . I would have never noticed this 5 years ago. , but now jesus does it annoy me . Honestly i'm just in it for the story , which is reslly good .

The third has the best style IMO. Shion loses more and more cloth as the series went on. Not that I'm complaining. Also, prepare for some other stuff about her. Mental Trauma from the first two games can do that to you.
