Oldest game you still play?

[Darren S]

There’s always a race to get hold of the newest and latest game coming out. But have you got some established gems that you still play?

Occasionally I’ll have a dabble at some much older titles - probably my record last year was trying out a game from 1990.

But for games to actually spend time with regularly, I’d probably say Company of Heroes 2 from 2013 for me.

Any others?

Splinter Cell Chaos Theory.
Sometimes the graphics are truly horrifying but I grew up playing this so it’s a nice occasional throwback when I’m really fucked off with CP2077

 

[Ex-User (99307)]

Jagged alliance 2. Quite regularly.

 

[Mr Burns]

GTA 5 (lol)

 

[Cub.]

Halo CE. Especially the rebooted graphics wise version.

 

[The Psychedelic Socialist]

Dawn of War, always good for a mindless comp-stomp.

 

[Philip.]

I’ve got one of those mini SNES consoles and spend hours on Super Mario. In the same cupboard I also have the Series X. Good mix 😂

 

[16v_er]

Got a old megadrive so golden axe, double dragon all sorts really.

 

[Clio_fool]

I don't really revisit old games as they don't live up to the fond memories. However I will always have a copy of Burnout Paradise City available as every now and then it's good to gather the old crew and get pissed and have a laugh.

 

[Mr Burns]

I agree that old games are never as great as you remember.

 

[Usr117063]

Dead rising was the oldest game I played recently. One of my all time favorites.

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

Probably Mario on the SNES Mini. Play it for a bit, remember how infuriating those games were, and how uncomfortable the controllers are then put it away for a few months.
Repeat.

 

[Christopher.]

I still regularly play SimCity 4 (2003)

 

[Dom_capper]

Old games look much better on older low res TVs.

 

[donnylad]

EverQuest, it came out in 1999 and still they bring expansions out and new TLP race servers, great to make money on. Made over £400 in the last 2 weeks but having a break for a bit now!

 

[Darryl_1983]

I've still got unreal tournament on my work laptop. Released in 1999. I've had it on all my pc/laptops since the early 2000's.
My first proper job, we used to play over the company server at lunch time for upto 2 hours.
Can't remember the last time I played it, but it's still awesome

 

[Neesey]

Everquest also but on a break from at the moment.

 

[Ph1 Tom]

Age of Empires 2
Red Alert 2
Quake 3
Counter Strike
The original COD modern warfare

 

[welshname]

RuneScape Old School
CounterStrike 1.6
CounterStrike: Source
Team Fortress 2

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

Age of Empires 2
Red Alert 2
Quake 3
Counter Strike
The original COD modern warfare

Do you know where I could download Red Alert 2?

I still have the original one and play the odd skirmish, but didn't find a good download of the second one.

 

[Typhoon]

Counter strike 1.6.

 

[donnylad]

You can buy the whole lot cheap as online. Then download cnc net for some online RA2 action!

 

[leeds_182]

Eye spy is still one of my favourites. I’m also partial to a game of slaps or knuckles.

 

[McGherkin]

Splinter Cell Chaos Theory.

Yes! Fantastic game. I know all the missions off by heart but it’s still great to play through.

Just pipping it to oldest game I play though...

Never really played Underground. But Underground 2 is definitely one of the greatest games of all time. I still regularly listen to the soundtrack while driving.

 

[Daz...]

OG Game Boy version of Tetris, at least a couple of times a week.

 

[Marc.]

World of Warcraft. Because cool.

 

[RustyMojo]

Counter strike can’t still be going surely? I was all over that back in the day! Probably around 2001-2 Can you stil
Play it through Steam??

It sure is - though it's mainly morphed into CS:GO these days. Still, it's free to play though....

Amazing, sadly I don’t currently have a Pc other than a work laptop!! But this is obviously now going to need to change!

 

[Jamess182]

Hands down the best game ever made. Replayed it again just last year.

 

[Adey.]

I still flit back to the old Pokémon games every few months, the newer handhelds usually have some re release version if not a DS lite with a hooky card in the back does the job

 

[ilovewilly]

Kiss chase.

Oh.

 

[Andy_con]

I may still play this...

Emulators:-

SSX Tricky

Red Faction (PC too)

Counter Strike: Source

and f**king LOVE some original Destruction Derby 1 and 2.

 

[Adamm.]

Counterstrike had a map creator on PC right? I remember playing it back in the day. I used to love this game and some of the custom lobbies used to be pretty fun. I'm not 100% convinced I'm thinking of the right game though. Red alert brings back memories too.

These days nothing that old for me. Did wire up my old original Xbox a few months back luckily it worked. Had a quick session on Forza Motorsport, DefJam fight for NY, Midtown madness, Tony hawk's underground, Timesplitters 2 and NFS Underground 2.

As above the games never really live up to the memories but funnily enough DefJam had me hooked the most out all my old games.

[Gally]

I bought six for Xbox so me and the daughter could play. Still awesome.

goldeneye, mario 64 and Zelda 64. Oh and occasional shenmue emulator for nostalgia.

 

[S-JM]

I still own my PS2 along with some original games I got at the time, including Gran Turismos 1-4. I fired up #4 a year or two ago and managed to get gold on every license test, never managed that when I was a kid!
I've been wanting to fire up #1 again soon and have a play through if I have time, definitely my favourite.

I don't game much nowadays but for nostalgia purposes hopefully one day soon I'll fire up:
Age of empires 2
Rollercoaster tycoon 1+2
Need for speed underground
GTA Vice City
