Old games you are still playing?

I've got pretty much every old console, and I boot them all up from time to time. I'm really bad about finishing games before I move on to new ones, though, so I've got a whole bunch of games in progress that I'm still playing.
I play all my N64 games from ocarina of time to 1080 snowboarding, still have a sega saturn that i fire up occasionally for a blast on virtua fighter 1 & 2, loaded, johnny bazookatone, sega rally championship. Recently bought Daytona USA on the marketplace because I used to play the original on the sega mega drive. So much nostalgia. My favourite game to play that is a little old is probably Skies of Arcadia: Legends on gamecube. Which is of course a remake of the dreamcast version.
Oh and don't forget sonic 1 & 2, Pac man and Donkey Kong

I replay Contra on the NES about once or twice a year. Currently I am working through Faxanadu on NES. Terrible graphics (even for that time) but the game is fun.
Sometimes I just go down to the basement and start up a file on Kirby 64. Still a super great game.
Is this supposed to be unusual? And the PlayStation 2 is considered "old"?
I hate most new games. I consider PlayStation 2 games "new, fancy stuff" for "if you're in the mood for silly crazy over the top graphics" for a change.
I still play Super Nintendo games most of the time because they were the glory days. Sometimes I poke my head out and play a PlayStation or even PlayStation game, or even on a rare, rare case, a current gen. game on a current gen. system. Usually some throwback to the old SNES games I love like a new Zelda game or a jRPG or a Kirby game or something like that. But for the most part, the Super Nintendo is my real comfort zone and I rarely venture out of that generation of games.
I mean, why do so? Most new generation of games just seem like fragmented slivers of what gaming used to be that you can piece together. Most new games and consoles are alienating, only managing to hold a bit of the magic that was the Super NES. And don't get me started on how alienating PC gaming is. Most of the time it's like a perfect collection of all the games that exist on consoles that I would never want to play on consoles. Like they took all of the games for consoles that actually would never interest me to play and buy, those are the games the PC platform gets. Aside from games like Touhou and Recettear, there's pretty much no PC games I care about in the slightest. And this is coming from someone with over 100 games in their Steam library.
After all, after all this money I've invested in new games, it hardly seems worth it. I'm always taking a risk on a game I *might* like. With the SNES, with pretty much any game for the system I'm guaranteed a fascinating and enjoyable experience. It's just the perfect library. You don't need any more games than the SNES games.
