Do you still enjoy playing older games?

[Cogman]

Those aren't OLD games..

Old games are C64, Amiga, Apple 2, Atari 2600, and old school 25 cent arcade games [Donkey Kong, Tempest, etc].

Yes - I do enjoy those games on my Nintendo DS or ipad.

I still like playing games like Adventure

 

[shortylickens]

No I always beat a game inside of one week and then never look at it again.

I’m a huge fan of replaying older games, and I have a library of 100+ titles under constant play rotation. I’m currently playing through Riddick Butcher Bay.

That is awesome. I just beat it, but can't remember how to get to the secret rooms.

I tried playing Arena:The Elder Scrolls the other day and it has definitely lost it's charm (the graphics are soo choppy that I was feeling sick). That said I still take BG, BG2, PS:T, SC1, Diablo, and Diablo2 out for a spin once in awhile.

 

[Rhoxed]

SC1, Heroes of Might and Magic II, almost any classic sega/nes/snes/atari roms, a few others but they are usually put back down as fast as i can think of them.

 

[nyker96]

yes I enjoy an old game like SC1 etc. good to see my current card can run it like 300000 fps. no need to upgrade :]

I play old games as often as modern ones. I've been playing Master of Orion 2 (for the first time) in Dosbox over the last week.

 

[Synesthesia]

I'm currently playing road rash.. That was a fun game

How!! Oh man, such memories. I used to play that when I was 10 . I didn't have a computer that time so I used to play it every time we visited one of my aunts (which was often). Whipping a biker off his bike with a chain is just too good.

 

[Synesthesia]

As for other games, I'm planning to play the original Monkey Island 1 and 2 soon as I can get my hands on them. Good times

 

[Attic]

Yes, but mainly console games.

I still run through SMB, Zelda: LTTP, Super Metroid once every few years. Old PC games I've never done that with, i'm too much of a graphics whore. I did play through F.E.A.R multiple times though and years after it's release, really liked that one.

 

[masterxfob]

fallout 1/2
heroes of might and magic 3
baldur's gate 2
too many squaresoft games...

 

[Agnostos Insania]

Yep. It's been a few years since I played the older DOS ones that run at 50,000 FPS without a program to slow it down, though.
I really miss the Point-and-Click Adventure genre that seems to be dead today, especially the humorous variety like Day of the Tentacle or Sam and Max Hit the Road.
Ohh, and that Indiana Jones one from LucasArts was really good.

Lucas Arts has been releasing revamped Monkey Island 1 and 2 games for the last few months. I think they plan on having a full new MI game if enough buy the MI 1 and 2 Special Editions. They've also released a kind of semi-sequel to MI 4. Basically 5 episodes of similar lengths. So yea, hopefully that can kickstart the point and click genre again ^^.

I talked to the co-author of Zork about the possible comeback of text fiction games, he thinks they are gone for good. With good quality and marketing, who knows though...

There are still a ton of adventures out there, have to loook for them, and the quality is not usually great.

 

[Iron Wolf]

I think the oldest games I have installed and still play occasionally are Nox and some of the original Warlords and Warlords Battlecry games.

 

[mooncancook]

I still play Jagged Alliance 2 and Transport Tycoon (openTTD) once in a while and still find them to be very enjoyable, more so than many new games today

 

[carage]

I still play games like C&C Generals: Zero Hour (although I play mods)
Homeworld 1 and HWC are both classics, I didn't like HW2 as much.
SimCity 2000, IMHO, is the best in the series. The latest one is just pathetic.

 

[OCNewbie]

Yes

 

[djnsmith7]

I don't think BF2 qualifies as an "older game" just yet, but it is 5 years old now. I still play it on a regular basis.

 

[hellotyler]

I've always liked old school adventure and arcade games.

 

[nemesismk2]

I am still playing Master of Orion 2 which I love

Also play Supreme Commander, Supreme Commander 2, Total Annihilation and Total Annihilation Kingdoms.

Warlords series was great, but aren't later games in the series better?

Jagged Alliance on the DS

Sometimes. Right now I have an urge to fire up the original Age of Empires (way better than AOE2, IMO). Diablo / Diablo 2 have also peaked my interest lately. Most of the time I find outdated graphics in older games to be a turn off, though, so I don't bother.

I actually think console games tend to age much better than computer games. Something about the old console graphics just look "better" than a computer game from the same era, probably because developers already knew the limitations of the hardware they were working on and polished a game as much as they could within those limitations. Computer games, on the other hand, seem to focus on the "cutting edge" (look at the original Quake) and even cater to next-gen hardware, which may introduce some interesting new features and concepts, but leave an overall rough edge compared to the polish of a similar era console game. I have this wicked urge to go play Super Mario World...
