I still bust out my atari for a good old game of warlords every once in a while. As of recently I have been enjoying Earthbound on the SNES for like my 8th playthrough.
what's the title of the oldest game you have and still play?

The two oldies I fire up frequently are Raptor: call of the shadows (anybody remember that one?) which I would still call the greatest top down shooter ever, and the original jazz jackrabbit (I swear I will be Cliffy B's servant for the rest of my life if epic makes a quality jazz 3 someday)I also have a fair collection of SNES, N64, and PS1 games but those tend to spend long stretches collecting dust until I start feeling nostalgic and bother to hook up my old systems.
I hate to be that guy, and it's gonna make me sound like a dick, but, Pong.
I LOVE THE SHIT OUT OF PONG.

Heroes of Might and Magic 3
I love how it came out in 1999 and Heroes 6 - which came out like, a month ago or so in Europe - is the only worthy successor to it! (In my opinion, of course
)

Final Fantasy 2 on my Blackberry, and Rez via XBOX live arcade. I originally played FF2 back in the mid 90s and Rez shortly after its European release. Rez is probably the best slightly drunk/wasted game on the market. Best thing is, I believe it was designed to be such D
Oldest game I still play?
Since I'm one of those kids who grew up on the GC, it prob has to be NFS: Most Wanted.
Yes, I realized since then the gfx are s@&t, but I still have fun anyway, dem coppers and those roadspikes!

The absolute oldest? Probably something for my NES. I don't fire up the physical hardware much these days (it's in desperate need of a new 72 pin connector after two decades and at least two owners), but I occasionally fire up an emulator and go to town. I've also got some really old DOS games, but even the oldest of those were most likely released in the mid 80's.
As for the oldest that I play on a regular basis? Probably something released somewhere around 2004. I've got a fair few games from that time period that I still fire up all the freakin' time, wheras my older games, while they still get a fair amount of play, I play more in situations where I'm like "hey, remember that game with..." and then I go play it. I've got literally hundreds of games in my collection, with actual hardware going from the NES to the present, and emulated releases (including official releases; I've got a couple of those collections of old games) going back to Atari's old arcade offerings. Heck, I've even got one of those plug and play controllers that's basically an Intellivision with some hardwired games. What I'm saying here is, while I don't play the old games as often as I do the new games, it's because only a small percentage of my collection can be in any sort of rotation at any given time. Since I enjoy online multiplayer so much, and since indie games have been hitting the sweet spot with older genres lately (If you haven't bought the Voxatron bundle, do it, do it now.), I don't feel as much need to go through the hassle of either hooking up the old hardware or getting an emulator set up -- especially since most of my collection is at home, an hour's drive away from my dorm. I've pretty much got the games I have through Digital Distribution (not just Steam; Impulse and GoG, too), the few boxed games I brought with me, my PS2 and PSX games, and my DS and GBA games. The NES, Genesis, Gameboy (Color), and the majority of my older PC games are at home.

Oldest game series I still play is Wing Commander and Privateer (1990-1996). Those date from the early to late 1990's and I have to use an old 486 to play some of them. Still nothing beats shooting down a mercenary pilot sent to kill you, taking in his escape pod, then selling him into slavery on an agricultural planet.
This is just for electronic games I'm guessing. In that case, probably Heroes of Might and Magic 3.
