CS:S is my fallback game. Although, I haven't played it in about a year now. Almost time to get back into it.

Rise of Nations, Age of Empires 3 (not incredibly old), Motocross Mania 2, and Starcraft are some of the older games i play often.

I usually only go through single player once with games. Exceptions to this are I recently replayed Freelancer and plan on going through Deus Ex again.

Counter Strike, CS:S, the original Pokemon (I love it too much to give up :eek:), Starcraft, occasional D2 sometimes. SimCity 3000 might as well be on this list too.

Oldest I still play? JA2 but its the v1.13 mod. Can do a lot of customizing with it.

It isn't a PC game... but I always like to pick up the Banjo series (Kazooie/Tooie) and play it on an emulator every once in awhile. I play it on my comp w/ a 360 controller though.. that counts right? :D

Oh my Rareware nostalgia... can't wait for BK3 ;)

These days "old" is considered to be anything not DX10. But I will list things that I've had for a little while and finished a couple of times.

Deus Ex
Baldurs Gate 2
Final Fanatsy 7
Max Payne (also Max Payne 2, but I wont count that as "OLD")
Dungeon Siege
TA:Kingdoms
X-Wing Alliance
Homeworld
AvP 2
Alice
MOO2
Leisure Suit Larry 7
KOTOR 1 and 2
Freelancer
Dungeon Keeper 2
I guess Disciples 2 counts.


Crap, a lot more than this.
I seem to prefer the old stuff. The only new game I really like is World In Conflict.

I tend to replay my games on the consoles more (I guess since I buy less of them, I replay the ones I currently have). With most of my PC games, I replay the games, but I haven't completed all of them again.

Half-Life series (the original games (ie. pre-HL2) I have beaten at least twice)
Quake series (Quake 4 beaten twice and Quake 3 for MP)

Age of empires I & II. Many games I put down and come back to once in a blue moon but these two I play many times a year.

I just beat Red Alert 2 - Yuri's Revenge. Generals sucks by comparison because it had literally no story.

Ancient Domains of Mystery by Thomas Biskup.

Absolutely phenomenal non-linear ASCII based game with so much depth and immersiveness.... it makes most games out there look like they have limited content.
