Awesome game. One of the first with synthesized speech!
Every so often I'll have another run at the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy text adventure from 1984.
You wake up. The room is spinning very gently round your head. Or at least it would be if you could see it which you can't.
It is pitch black.

Sometimes I'll pop open Mega Man 1 when my blood pressure is too high to focus on anything. I plan to no-hit it one day (without major glitches)
Heroes of Might and Magic III
Worms Armageddon
Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2
Spy Hunter
Super mario 64, the acrobatics is so fun
I've been following the sm64-psx project.
Yesterday I even got the game to compile, AND show the SM64 splash screen on real PS1 hardware
I dunno if it really counts, because these days I play Diablo 2 Resurrected instead of the real OG, but god I still love Diablo 2. I was playing a Druid Maul build a little bit just last weekend in anticipation of Path of Exile 2 adding animal transformations. It's just one of those classic Blizzard titles I go back to at least once every year, alongside Warcraft 3 and Starcraft. They're like the triumvirate of my childhood nostalgia.
Wish the company wasn't so awful.
Loved D2. Came back to it after decades of being away. Got really confused by things like runes and the reclassifcation of cast rate for items as a percentage. I missed snickering every time I'd encounter an item with "fastest cast rate"
i'm playing the remake now though. you can even toggle between old and new graphics, but i think they did an amazing job with the update.
Garrys Mod. You'd actually be impressed how many people still play that game for it approaching its 20 year anniversary.
You can play Garrys Mod? I thought it was mostly just a sandbox for building things or making machinima videos. I have it but have opened it maybe twice...not much time for gaming these days and Black Mesa and Outer Wilds have been consuming all my stolen gaming time.
Half life and Unreal Tournament
GoldSRC HL? Love those gibs.
I'll only stop playing OSRS if they shut the servers down.
Currently replaying A Link to the Past (1991). It's not even that old.
Highly recommend checking out the Link to the Past Randomizer if you haven't. It shuffles all the chest contents while ensuring you can complete the game. It's different each time and even gives you a cheat sheet if you get stuck.
I have NEVER uninstalled "Deus Ex."
Darklands - a cRPG released in 1992 by Microprose. It's set in medieval Germany; you are a party of fledgling adventurers looking to build fame and money, and somehow you get pulled into a battle against the forces of the apocalypse. Instead of magic, you invoke saints and use alchemy to craft potions. I loved it when I was younger, and I still, somehow, enjoy it today.
If you hate the following things, then I highly recommend checking it out!
- great graphics
- good music and sound design
- easy to understand game mechanics
- stable, bug-free game play
- yourself
I was skimming your comment then i was intrigued with the great graphics, bug free⦠i was like, what is this amazing game? Maybe i should try. Then i read it again!
Been playing flatout ultimate carnage, made me want to try older racing games since I barely played any post ps2 growing up (my older cousin had one and some racing games like podracing, idr the rest) I just hated that you couldn't exit the car, for some reason it's just way more immersive to me, so I avoided any game with vehicles where you couldn't exit them. Eventually got in to flight sims which made me wanna try driving games again, since you can't exit the plane and it's still fun. Tho I do wish they added that too.
Tetris, the original GameBoy cart.
1991's arcade hit and genre creating game, Street Fighter 2
ShadowMan from 1999. That's one of the (if not the) first narrative action adventure games I ever played and a big part of my childhood. The mixture of blood, gore, creepy music and enemies and great setpieces (you play as the walker between the worlds of the dead and the living and can switch between them) fascinates me to this day. When I was a child, it gave me quite a few nightmares, but I still finished it. It's an absolute masterpiece.
NightDive recently remastered it and it's even better now.
ARSENAL Extended Power. An old strategy game from the early 2000s. Still fire it up once a year to mess around.
Freeciv
Gothic 1 and 2 (from 2001 and 2002 respectively) are still some of the best games I ever played. There is also a very active modding community, and some mods are even much better than the original game.
I still play WoW. That's a 21 year old game.
(The housing is so much fun!!)
I've been replaying Tenkaichi 2 lately
Playing regularly? Minecraft.
There are a few games I revisit as my kid grows up and gets to experience them for the first time, but Minecraft keeps coming back.
Started playing Spelunky HD again the other day, the sequel is better but the original is still fun to revisit.
Morrowind and Fallout: New Vegas sometimes. I've tried playing the original two Fallout games but I keep bouncing off the first hour or two.
Some Guilty Gear XX AC+R with a friend -- we would love to play some old Tekken games too but we're both on PC so Tekken 7 is the oldest available.
Every once in a while I'll play some Sacrifice, such an amazing game that's dying for a remaster.
I still play NES games often. These were the games of my childhood. Balloon Fight and the original arcade Mario Bros. are always fun for shorter sessions. And I still enjoy playing through Super Mario Bros. on occasion. I very rarely have ventured into games older than the NES.
