The oldest game you still play to this day?

[Signa]

I'll pop in anything SNES or later at any given moment. However, I do load up Doom more often than anything else equally as old. It helps that I have it running in Skulltag instead of its old Dos version.

 

[Avery]

Still play Chrono Trigger for my SNES.

 

[Wayneguard]

I'm playing Disciples 2 right now. That's got to be late 90s. I'm going to play some HOMM2 after that and that is probably mid-90s.

 

[Reaper195]

Either Crash Bandicoot, or Abes Oddesy. Yeah, they're not as old as SNES games and such, but I grew up during the ninties. I played with the PS1. Metal Gear Solid and Final Fantasy 7 were my parents. I did have a computer that could play DooM and Duke Nukem 3D and such, but I ended up with consoles before the massive PC game boom (Don't get me wrong, I'm not a console fanboy. I just don't care about the console vs PC argument.).

But I think the oldest game I play when I've got nothing to do and no way of using my old laptop or consoles, I play Pong on my phone.

I just played Galaga last week, but I'd say I play Tetris or Space Invaders more often. But those are just flash/browser versions, so maybe they don't count.

The oldest game I still actually own is probably Final Fantasy VII. I've also got The Longest Journey, which came out in 2000, making it just 3 years younger than FFVII.

G-Nome. Sometimes you just want to enter a heavily armored weapons chassis and squash some squishy aliens. The ability to selectively destroy pieces of enemy leg armor to slow them down until I can run off and wipe them out with camera-guided VISOM missiles is a feat I wish I could see more often. And by more often I mean can we please have a mech game where the mech isn't just a giant rocket-mounted human with metal plating and mystery shields again?

No really, if someone knows of a recent game in which mechs are treated as vehicles (composed of seperate parts that can be seperately damaged, and can be exited by the pilot) tell me!

 

[UnderCoverGuest]

SWAT 3.

 

[BeeGeenie]

It also seems that I need to give Planescape a go, seems like I've missed out on this gem!

It's definitely a cult classic. It was developed at the same time as Baldur's Gate, but when BG became a HUGE success, Interplay Entertainment dumped all their effort and marketing into the BG franchise, so Torment was overlooked and not a lot of people heard about it except through word of mouth. If you liked any of those awesome old Black Isle/Interplay RPGs, you'll enjoy it.

 

[tseroff]

To this day? Legend Of Zelda, Final Fantasy (1), or Super Mario Bros. on my NES.
On this day? Magic the Gathering.
I pick up Pokemon blue occasionally and play for old-time's sake. That's probably the oldest video game that I play most often.

 

[Khazoth]

I have long since lost my old consoles so, in no particular order.


Thief Gold

Sanitarium

Planescape: Torment

Septerra Core

The Longest Journey



[small] If you haven't heard of Sanitarium or Septerra Core, you need to stop, and go play it right now. You'll thank m later. [/small]

 

[renegade7]

The oldest game I have played start to finish recently is probably Zelda 2 adventure of Link. I've played a lot of NES and SNES games lately.

As for things I play on a daily basis, I would say EVE Online, which is pushing on 10 now, I think.

 

[Easton Dark]

It's gotta be Banjo-Kazooie

I JUST LOVE IT SO MUCH


Bust a move, that beat is funky fresh!

 

[[REDACTED]]

I played ADOM (1994) fairly religiously until it started crashing regularly.

 

[imagremlin]

Well, in light of the recent article on kotaku about Atari's Adventure:

http://www.kotaku.com.au/2012/07/the-dangers-of-using-wikipedia-for-video-game-history/

I went and played the browser version of the game. So there.

 

[Tony Kelly]

Pacman, On my phone. If that doesn't count and you'd prefer a console or PC game it would have to be Worms4 from Ps2.

 

[neonsword13-ops]

Pokemon Silver

I play it on that Gameboy Color cartridge thing that came with Pokemon Stadium 2.

So much fun.

But it seems to be broken. Every time I turn it off and shake the game, it erases my data. Even the slightest touch will make it delete.

 

[Frozengale]

I've been known to play a little "Tennis for Two" from time to time

 

[Mister K]

I'm currently playing FFX. The cinematic are actually better than some of the stuff on 360

Amen to that. Say hello to sir Auron for me.

 

[kingthrall]

Myth II, made in 1998 by bungie 12 years old and still going strong to this day
