Oldest Game you currently play
Playing anything that isn't Doom 3?
I personally have Theme Hospital running every other day, day some of the diseases are funny and it makes a pretty good management style game. We really need a newer version without the bugs, better graphics (at least a 4 way rotatable iso view) and a cooler multiplayer. But now that Bullfrog has been absorbed by EA.. i'm not sure who would bring a sequel without it looking like a rip-off. Transport Tycoon is also installed with some of the newest addons. The community surrounding the game is just huge, people have made it much better (with TTDPatch) and now there are dozens of new graphics sets with new trains, buildings and more. Although the community has dwindled a bit whilst Locomotion has been released, it is still thrving and new stuff is being made. But i've been playing it for 10 years now.. so it is losing it's playability. |

Battlezone (ported to OS X). Debuted as an Atari arcade game in 1980, later ported to the game console and other platforms. It's a little shareware thing that I keep around to while away a spare few minutes while something's printing. I played it back in the day, so it's a trip down memory lane as well as a game.

I once ran down a hill, fell down and hurt my elbow; my mom said I would be ok, she kissed it and made it all better. I've run out of things to say now, so if you have read this whole thing, congratulations you get a gold star! |

I got a copy of SCUMMVM running on my computer so I can still rock out with The Secret of Monkey Island and all the early LucasArts adventures like the Indiana Jones games, Sam and Max, Full Throtle, and Day of the Tentacle. I'm still miffed that LucasArts canceled both the Full Throttle and Sam and Max sequals, those games go down as some of the all-time greats.

The oldest that I have around and sometimes play is Fallout 2. I would be able to say Civilization 2, but I lost my disk.
The oldest that I play on any consistent basis is good ol' Half-Life (primarily the mods though). |

I'd say that the oldest game I'm currently playing consistently is Battlefield 1942, and it's best mod, Desert Combat. I like to keep things fresh.

Recently discovered Grim Fandango, one of the last games from LucasArts before they started milking Star Wars universe for all it was worth. Usually play FPS when I have the time, but made an exception in this case. Even now, the game doesn't seem that dated because it has good plot, and beautiful graphics that don't need amazing resolutions to look decent.

I still have Diablo II on my system and play it every once in a while. If I had a system that could handle the newer games I probably wouldn't though. Although it is one I would come back to every once in a while. I love that game.
