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.

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!!)

It is, but it's a little weird when compared to the post because it's still getting updates.

That's why I play World of Warcraft Classic, which is actually the game from 20 years ago (technically 18 since I'll be playing Burning Crusade Classic soon.)

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.

I've been replaying Tenkaichi 2 lately

Arcanum from Troika and Fallout 1&2 for me

[โ€“] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 3 points 19 hours ago

Arcanum is good shit. I played that so many times when it came out.

  • straight damage dealing mage
  • beat with an ugly stick orc fighter
  • gun jerk
  • charismatic elf girl who got everyone else to fight for her, talked the final boss down.

I think maxing out time magic and backstab might have been the wackiest. Got like 90 action points and everyone else got 4. Stab stab stab stab.

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.

[โ€“] verdigris@lemmy.ml 4 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

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.

[โ€“] mushroommunk@lemmy.today 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Technically Team Fortress 2. Though not often.

I'm playing through Final Fantasy 2 right now but the pixel remaster version which came out in 2021 which is why I say technically.

[โ€“] ScrambledEggs@lazysoci.al 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I started TF2 about a year or two back and still play because my son loves it. It's a fun game.

The original Bard's Tale trilogy. I just finished I a few months ago and have been working away on the Destiny Knight.

It's so cool to be able to port your party over from the prior games and keep building!

[โ€“] Monster96@lemmy.world 4 points 20 hours ago

Mario 64 on original hardware. Never did finish it as a kid so no time better than the present

Battle for Atlantis

[โ€“] SmokeInFog@midwest.social 6 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago) (3 children)

Thief: Gold

The Dark Mod scratches that itch very well most of the time, but the OG had better story telling across multiple missions

Before I got a Switch, my last Nintendo Console was a Super Nintendo and missed out on Wii/Gamecube/WiiU, family was a Playstation family lol, so now Im going back and playing all the Zelda's!

Portal. It's older than you think, but still solid.

[โ€“] ChihuahuaOfDoom@lemmy.world 7 points 23 hours ago

I recently picked up Diablo 2 again, that and Doom which I play off and on. I really need to find a copy of Wolfenstein now that I'm thinking about old games.

[โ€“] skulblaka@sh.itjust.works 5 points 22 hours ago

About once a year or so I go replay Morrowind, the chaddest of the Elder Scrolls series.

This past year I replayed Morrowind with Tamriel Rebuilt tacked onto it, which has been extremely cool and fresh. TR really feels like official content a lot of the time, it's quite good and the love that's been put into it is very apparent.

Super Smash Bros Melee (2001)

Portal (2007)

The barcade near me has a Sinistar (1982) cabinet and I play it every time I go. Iโ€™m not even that good at it, but I love it so much.

Also I love those Lucasarts point and click adventure games. Grew up playing Monkey Island and play it again every once in a while.

[โ€“] Cherry@piefed.social 3 points 18 hours ago

Same. Also broken sword.

I'm on a retro game kick lately. I am currently playing Pokemon Leaf Green and Chrono Trigger (for a fiesta event) and will likely move on to Castlevania: Symphony of the Night afterward.

Contra still holds up very well, really fun to play with a friend.

Last three were Star Ocean (the first one), Radiata Stories, and Skies of Arcadia.

Currently playing Alundra because a friend grew up with it and wanted me to play it. Honestly it's not great but RetroAchevements made the bosses extraordinarily painful to master, which is uh ... fun. Yes. Fun, let's go with that.

Oh and ps these commenters all have fantastic tastes.
