As I was playing Shadow of the Colossus recently I began wondering how few people still play on the previous generation consoles. I do have a working xbox 360 with plenty of games but it's the old but good games that recently drew me in. Partly it's the price of the old ones, I ordered Naval Ops Warship Gunner for $4.99 from Gamestop for example, and partly it's the fact that many of these games never came out for the original xbox or never had sequals on a current console.

I'm also prone to taking advantage of the xbox 360's limited backwards compatibility to play Star Wars Battlefront 2 or Ninja Gaiden. Sure the games still tell you to press the black or white button despite these being replaced on the 360 by the right and left bumpers but aside from that minor control switch the games are still fun despite it having been many years since their release.

How many of the Escapists still play the old systems?

I use my Wii as a gamecube a despicable amount. Ikaruga and Tales of Symphonia are still some of the best damned games I own.

I really only play these games. Most of the newer games don't interest me all that much. Console wise anyway.

Yes sometimes. I have refined my PS2 collection down to the best of the generation so there is always something awesome to play. I'm still hunting copies of Timesplitters 1 + 2 though. Someone has gotta have them sealed/mint condition!

Yes, of course. Who doesn't? There are still plenty of great games I have not played on those systems, and some of my favorites are on those systems.

I don't play my old systems, despite still having most of the games and consoles cluttering my place. I made the decision to refrain from playing them purely because it dilutes the memory, since the ones I did play were never as good as the memory. I have a load of games which I would love to play again, but I?d rather keep my rose tinted nostalgia glasses on.

I still play my PS2 a lot, even more so then my 360 at the moment. It has a lot of great games and they're really cheap now.

I play PS2 and PSone games constantly especially lately with the low amount of sexy new games coming out, thank goodness I got the PS3 with backward compatibility.

On the GameCube I still play SSBM, Paper Mario, and Custom Robo.
On the PS2 I still play Kingdom Hearts 2, FFXII, and .hack//G.U.
I traded in my xbox when I got my 360, and the only game I ever owned for it was Fable: TLC. I WOULD still play it, but, I lost it when I moved.
