What is the oldest game you still play?

[Devin Kelly]

I still play my first game, Baldur's Gate. Looking back on it now, I had no idea what I was doing. Probably because I was seven at the time.

I actually almost beat the game just recently. Very, very fun.

For me, I still play my NES at times and play CastleVania. It is only about 30 mins to an hour long, but the game is still fun, probably out of nostalga. How about you all, is there any old games you go back and play?

oh yes and try not to go after the 2000's era. go before that time

Probably... oh umm... I don't know which is the oldest...

Zork (sort of DOS)
Rock Star (DOS)
or
Rogue (DOS)

console?

probably Castlevania or Mario or Battletoads- cause I haven't touched the 5200 in quite awhile, because I beat Hero


"game"
D&D or Chess
or... how old is "tag" and "catch"

 

[Huttser]

I still play Heroes of Might and Magic for Windows 95.

 

[Kurt Horsting]

Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo. 1994. I can play Championship Edition (1992) but I seriously still play SSF2T.

 

[Spawny0908]

SSX Tricky...ah good times.

 

[thePyro_13]

Dune 2

While I occasionally pick up some older games on my Wii's Virtual Console, the main game that I always "come back to" is Chrono Trigger.

Only on one of my more recent playthroughs did the game start to feel a little "old," and that's only because I've played it at least a dozen times...

...and I love it every time.

 

[Singularly Datarific]

I stick to early '90's stuff, SNES and later is my cutoff.
In particular there is Marathon and Mechwarrior 2.

 

[Thamux]

I actually play alot of oldies, but i would have to say Fallout 1 or maybe BG2, not sure which came first

 

[Rastrelly]

Still play Doom (1993) and Quake (1996). Sometimes I run Supaplex (1991, if my memory serves me well). Less often I run Civilization (1991).

 

[The Youth Counselor]

I challenged my 93 year old Grandmother to a game of Pong last week. It's a rarity for us to do that, but always something to look forward to.

 

[Bat Vader]

The oldest game that I still play is Never Winter Nights. The Second oldest one is Knights of The Old Republic. Both are very fun games.

 

[teebeeohh]

games i play on a regular basis: deus ex.
on occasion, fallout 2

 

[Asti]

Diablo II and Sacred.
Both have incredibly fun multiplayers, that's why. ^^

 

[Dr. Dice Lord]

Shattered Steel for the PC, because my SNES and NES broke, as per usual.

Still play it cause its a good trip down memory lane, now that gog has a version that works I can enjoy it again. Its Bioware's first game, so that defiantly adds to it!

 

[LobsterFeng]

I make it a point to play through the X-wing trilogy at least once a year. Damn, Lucasarts needs to get on remakes/sequels of the best space combat games ever.

You're lucky, I can't get X-Wing to work on my PC anymore.

OT: Putt-Putt. That's right, a couple of days ago I played Putt-Putt Goes To the Moon. And I loved it.

 

[Stephen Proud]

I don't know, maybe Mappy? I downloaded it for the Virtual Console recently.

I challenged my 93 year old Grandmother to a game of Pong last week. It's a rarity for us to do that, but always something to look forward to.

That's amazing if it's true.

My Cousin got her a Wii, but she always claims

1) That new technology is too complicated for her.
2) She doesn't have the physical endurance for that.

But we've managed to get her to play once in a while. She used to play Tetris all the time, but her complaint is that her eyes are bad. (She did have cataract surgery on both eyes, but I think she exaggerates...some form of hypochondria. She can still read very small font, albeit right up to her face and tell when I'm lying by reading BS on my face.)

Tetris seems like a natural thing. She still claims she can't see but was able to go one on one with me.
