Rise of Nations: Gold Edition (2003).
The controls are ancient, but the gameplay and music still holds up.

Master of Magic.
On and off back theme hospital or itβs new instance two point hospital
Blaster Master. One day I will complete it.
I settled for completing the Remake on Switch because you can save and not have to start over and beat it in one sitting.
Bejeweled 3 zen mode on my Xbox 360 till my Xbox one X
I still whip out megaman X sometimes. My siblings and I play the original crash team racing every other Christmas too.
Mega Man
I have an N64 and a Sony PVM, so I play a lot of games on that. But thereβs two I play much more regularly than all the others: Mario Golf and Mario Tennis. They both hold up incredibly well.
I built my own PC, a tower with a 16 core 32 thread cpu, 128 gb of ram, 16 gb of vram and i make sure to keep it cold enough to handle playing minesweeper on expert.
i'm kidding, i quit gaming in 2020 as a new years resolution.

I still play doom, although I try a lot of newer wads. It's crazy that there's basically 30 years of free content people have been creating since it came out (even if most stuff much past 10 or 15 years old can feel kinda dated and not so interesting to play).
Peggle. As a grown ass person I still play it at least once every couple of weeks. Stupid fun when you don't want to pay too much attention.
I love peggle!
Haven't done it, but i always wanted to put all the GTAs into one world, along with modded areas, and have it all connected.
I played through Phantasy Star one more time not that long ago. It came out (in English) in 1988.
The oldest game I've played in the past year is the original Toejam & Earl for Genesis, the gameplay and soundtrack still hold up surprisingly well
I kept going back to Arcanum
There was an unofficial patch that helped it continue to be playable. It just had a unique style and story that allowed you to interact and build your character around magic or technology.
I'll still play a few of the SNES classics from my childhood sometimes. Super Mario world, Yoshis island, that kinda stuff.
Unreal World. Released in 1992. Though I didn't first play until 2010ish when I moved to linux.
Battle for Atlantis
I've been replaying Tenkaichi 2 lately
I played Super double Dragon for SNES earlier. I also played super Mario Bros 2 for nes this week. Platform games are a great way to pass the time on the go when you have a phone and a Bluetooth controller.
Whenever I can find it- Centipede. Especially if it's in a cabinet with the trackball.
Otherwise I play Donkey Kong Country a fair amount. Or Super Mario World. SNES games are my jam
