Was playing a bit of Stunt Car Racer for the Amiga this week, from 1989, and wondered how far back people are going!

Moon Patrol on the Atari 2600 (Emulated on my Steam Deck). I'm not giving away my age by posting this at all...

Played with various ROMs of popular late ‘70s and early ‘80s arcade games.

Definitely some earlier Sega titles. Teddy Boy, My Hero, Wonderboy. Easy to grab at to entertain my toddler for half an hour so they get switched on fairly regularly.

I just picked up "The Sumerian Game" on Steam. What a great story...

I haven't exactly been keeping track but off the top of my head the oldest game I've probably played this year is A Link to the Past (SNES, 1991).

Probably up next on my retro gaming to-do list!

I got my childhood game, crysis 3 up and running with wine, so I've been plying that again. I can't belive it looks so good and runs so well compared to all the other "modern" games out there.

DMG Gameboy Kirby Dreamland. My youngest loves it and it's REALLY hard to lose so he doesn't need a ton of help.
