I still replay Megaman 2 every once in a while. It's aged shockingly well; much better than most other NES games.

Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, Luigi's Mansion, and Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door. I make it a hobby to play through each of these every six months or so.

Ocarina of Time would be the oldest, though. Also, apparently it was first released in Japan on my second birthday. I thought that was pretty cool. :D

There aren't a lot of games earlier than 1990 that I FREQUENTLY play. I'll occasionally play an NES game or even an old Atari game, but as for things that I replay every once and a while, I guess the oldest would be the original Alone in the Dark (1992).
I don't know why, but it has some sort of undying charm on me. Maybe it's because it was the first to implement a lot of elements that are now standard in my favorite genre (Survival Horror).
Sure, there were a few "horror" games before it, such as Haunted House on the 2600 or Sweet Home, but one was just moving a pair of eyes around a maze and the other was a crappy top-down RPG.
Maybe I just keep coming back because of Edward Carnby's moustache, which is, in my opinion, the greatest moustache in videogame history.

Rayman, though I have never completed it as it still annoys the fuck out of me. But every so often I'll crack it on and have another go.

For actual sustained play that doesn't make me want to go holy promethium on the nearest person, Theme Hospital.

Chess!

Oh, Videogames... Jak 2 or Tales of Symphonia. They both came out in 2004, and I don't know which one's older.

Dreamweb. One of the most flawed, but most incredible games of all time. I have to play it at least once a year, to remind me of what a game can be.

Mine have to be Nethack (1987), although it's been updated several times since original release; additionally, Descent (1994) still gets fired up occasionally, and it gets extra points for being pretty much the first-ever game to be fully 3D.

Oldest game on my desktop right now,which I love and adore with all my heart,and will probably never uninstall, is Emperor: The Battle For Dune. Just.. Amazing.

Wow, these are some great games being mentioned, really brings back the memories. It also seems that I need to give Planescape a go, seems like I've missed out on this gem!

Probably Star Wars: Supremacy (SW:Rebellion outside UK&ROI). It's just a really great game, with kinds of strategy that I've yet to find executed that well in a newer title.

Total Annihilation, 1997. I played the demo on the first day we had our very first PC. Still play it to this day.
