I've still got the original XCom on my computer. I swear, that game is probably the coolest and best designed squad-based / tension game ever. Takes a bit of work to get it to run in XP, though.

I'm always playing the old Squaresoft games too. Secret of Mana, FFIV, FFVI... hell, FFI for that matter...

Chaos Overlords

Apple Cider Spider, Commodore 64

one vote for Myst

Civ 3 :) Ermm cant think of another

Starcraft. I keep getting re-addicted. Plus its still my opinion that it's the best RTS ever created.

if MS Solitaire doesnt count...then it is Counter-Strike. 1999 wasnt that long ago. I love this game, I play it more than any other game. In fact, I only play CS and Mortal Kombat: Deception, and I play CS a whole lot more.

just got a ps2 disc w/ a ton of my favorite classics.... paperboy, 720, marble madness, sinistar, joust, gauntlet, and spy hunter to name a few of them... all original arcade versions, all on one disc... unreal.

Still play Neverwinter Nights online several times a week.

And every so often, I will load Lords of the Realm 2. Still one of the best TBS/RTS games out there.

I have a list of old games I have around for whatever mood I am in, here is my current list:

Role Playing Games: Lufia 2, Shining Force 1 & 2, Chrono Trigger
Turn Based Strategy: Defender of the Crown (Old game I first played on the C64), Warlords I & II, Civilization I & II
Real Time Strategy: Command and Conquer (Tiberian Dawn and Red Alert + expansions), Total Annihilation, Warcraft I & II, Settlers I & II & III & IV
Sim Type Games: Theme Hospital, Sim City, Sim City 2000, Sim World, Sim Ant
First Person Shooters: Quake, Quake II, Ultimate Doom, Doom II, Duke Nukem 3D, Redneck Rampage, Blood

Metal Fatigue: It's about 5 years old, but I still think that it's one of the best RTS's out there.

Dark Forces: The original! For some reason it always seems to find its way onto my pc. Hell it's really old! I used to play it with a boot disk on my 386. It's got to be almost 10 years old.

chrono trigger, SNES

robotron 2000 can't stop

Well I still play my chrono trigger on my snes ever now and then. If i am looking to really kill some time old school I play Castlevania:SOTN on my PS2. I know its not that old but it just probably one of my all time favs.

My dad brought over his old intelevision a few months back, so I've been breaking out Frogger, Dungeons and Dragons, Snafu, and Asto Smash. It brings back a lot of great memories.

Well, since i made my last post, i'm rolled out an Mega Drive Emulator. Now i can play Hellfire again! The game and console are sitting in my cupboard, so it's all legal and fun too!

Anyone else remember Hellfire? It's by far the best space shooty thing i've ever played. It has a great system of changing direction of fire that i haven't seen in anything else since.

Tecmo Super Bowl - NES (Emulatorized) circa 1992.
. Best Football Game Ever Made, why stop playing it because the roster is from the 91 season?

Blistex - Dark Forces, the original, is the greatest.
Hooked up my joystick to that for smoother gun movements, before mouse was really
big in DOS games, just awesome.

Alpha Centauri here as well. If I can find my MOO2 disc I'll load that up.

Although I did play Galaga in the laundromat yesterday. Been 20 years I think since I played it at an arcade style machine.

IT COST FIFTY CENTS! wtf? I can watch the dryer for almost an hour at that rate. Prolly not as much fun though.

Every now and then i load up nato commander on my c64 which is still working like the day i got it, Its the only game i still have for it that still works.

I recently reinstalled Doom2 and Half-Life and played through them for reasons of nostalgia and to get into the "mood" for Doom 3 and the impending Half-Life 2. Don't know if that counts, although I must say I've played through Half-Life many times over the years. It's like an old friend now. :)

I've been playing the original Zelda on my computer, and loved every minute of it.

My list for the oldest games that I play are all the Half-life games and mods. I play Halfl-life every day of my life (sad huh?). I also like playing the older Rainbow Six games, AVP2, and I still play Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2. I really wish the new Jedi Knight game didn't suck as much as it did.

Final Fantasy I from the the Final Fantasy Origins disc for Playstation one. The game's simplicity is addictive and gaining levels to beat bosses is so satisfying.

Legend of Zelda, the occasional Super Mario Bros. 2, some Atari 2600 action when I decide to plug it in. Ahhhh, nostalgia!

Sonic 2 for Genesis, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask for N64... Other than that I guess Halo and Starcraft count. Oh and curse Roller Coaster Tycoon for sucking me in again, that game is disgustingly addictive... And it's not even that great.

thps 1 on the ngage. i guess its old lol

Go

Play it all the time...if you don't know what it is, google it...

You win. :D

might be older, but its better to key in on a classic when you own it ;)

Contra!

System Shock 2, 'Hockey' for NES, X-wing...

Oh, and Earthbound. Gotta love Earthbound.

Broke out the Secret of Mana recently for some 2-player action. On PC, I have Diablo 1 installed for some reason. Now that's an oldie, first computer game I got into really, besides old old school like the Star Control series. Now and then I break out River City Ransom on the NES emulator. Man I loved that game as a kid.

Im still mudding does that count?, if not Paradiso for the arcade back in like 1994

Arr! The oldest game I'm playing is Pirates! Gold. I'm looking forward to the remake (although the cartoonish look is a bit worrisome).

Yeah, I don't understand the draw with RCT either, but every so often I just have to install it and waste many, many hours playing it. *sigh*

Master of Magic for PC. Its a pretty old game, but still (IMO) one of the best fantasy/strategy games ever made. I would love to see a modern sequel to the game. Coincidentally, if anyone is looking for old classics, there is a great place to find some of the oldie-but-goodies.

They have older games available for download, for free, directly from the site. They only allow downloads of games that are no longer commercially available. You can read about their site mission directly on that link. Warning, pop-up heavy site, highly suggest depleted uranium popup-blocking armor.

As in the board game? Maybe i should of specified Video Games only.
I'm sure Chess is pretty old and i play that.

Blades of Steel!!

I started to play GTA 3 again(can't find GTA:VC) gotta get ready for GTA:SA;)

On PC the oldest game is probably System Shock 2, or Diablo. I think they came out around the same time. On console I just beat Chrono Trigger and am working my way through Lunar: Silver Star Story.

For PC I mainly only play older games now a days if only for the reason that that's all it can play. Well it plays CS well enough :p

Curse of Monkey Island (come on, what game has a funnier pirate song!?!), Minesweeper and Freecell
