My CD is forever in my laptop. I play that game weekly.

I still load up Scorched Earth on occasion. I tried the 3d version of it, but it just isn't the same!
 
I play Taipan every couple of months. It's an incredibly basic, super-predictable text adventure/trading game that I first played on the Apple IIe.
 
Galaga is the oldest one, because I am trying to set (tie) the world record.
I have played the half-life mod, Day of Defeat nearly every day since beta 1.2 was released over 8 years ago.

What is the world record?

I walked away from a Galaga machine at about 1,5 million having lost only 3 or 4 guys. I was tired after hours of playing, and the student union was getting ready to close.

15,999,990 (this score will only show from the player 2 side; the player 1 side rolls every million points).

I still play this fairly regularly, as do a couple of my friends. Every once in a while we have network games, but that's something you set aside an entire day for. Actually it has been months since we had a network game; the time involved, one guy's inferiority complex (he sucks at losing and thinks everyone is out to get him), and the fact that Vista doesn't support IPX (and thus DosBox's multiplayer) make it a little more trouble than it's worth.

I am told you should use the kali network to play MP games.

I have never played a multiplayer game of MOO2, I enjoy empire building too much compared to quick rushes that MP games tend to be.
 
It's not super old, but I'm playing through MOHAA again. I remember thinking how great the gfx looked when I first got it. I find it rather lacking in that dept, now :^D It's still quite fun, but I'm reminded how tough some of the missions were.

Dark Forces. The sewer level scares me just as much now as it did in 1995

I know that level. Gosh was that one scary.

Grim Fandango over here.

Total Annihilation - TAUCP compilation pack

Nice. I remember getting that unit pack (actually, I think have it now in my TA directory). I used to have so many individual units and smaller packs that I had to run the Conflict Crusher (TACC) often.

I still play TA every couple of months, but usually just with default TA 3.1 w/CC and BT single player campaign and skirmish. I used to play online with friends and with my brother on LAN.
I still play through Red Alert 2+YR as well, but usually only 1x a year.
