What ancient game are you still playing?

I recently bought Star Trek Elite Force I. I played through the first couple levels, but it's kinda boring. I have no idea what I'm really doing, but the level design guides you. I'll pick it up again later, and see if I get into it. I have been having fun with the voicepacks though. I have Janeway and Seven of Nine announcing various events on my phone. That's worth the modest cost by itself :^D
 
I played Tron 2.0 all the way through last winter. Great graphic style. I remember a review of the game when it released saying it made the reviewer's eyes want to smoke cigarettes. A third party patch added widescreen resolutions and it ran butter smooth on an old Thinkpad T61 through my desktop monitor. I highly recommend it.
 
I've had tons of fun playing the original Riddick on my 3rd gen Core i7 Thinkpad with some underpowered Quadro GPU. Back in the day, it wouldn't even do 20 fps with highest settings. Now it does 60+ fps with everything maxed out! But most importantly, the graphics haven't aged too badly at all. It's still a treat to ogle at.
 
Icewind Dale and Planescape (although they are the remasters). Also various games in the Sega Genesis Classics collection for the Switch, including Strider, Revenge of Shinobi, the original Sonic the Hedgehog, Golden Axe, and a few others.

Are the graphics blocky or smoothed out?

They're a bit pixel-y, but not bad..no worse than the originals were back in the day, IME. The Planescapes and Icewind Dale graphics aged worse imho.

Edit: Last year, I played through both the first and second Half Life games. That scratched my nostalgia itch for a while, haha.

CS:GO circa 2012. Kids today think it's a current new AAA title.

I played some CS:S last year when I played through the Half Life games again. I played a LOT of CS:S the first few years it was out. Then I got sucked into MMOs and CS was forgotten for years, heh.

Dishonored 1 and Skyrim are the two ANCIENT games I still play most. (honorable mention for Quake II RTX)

Dishonored 2 which I also still play often is a vastly better game then 1 but was released in 2016 which in my interpretation just makes it "old".

Postal 2 - there's something about being able to pee on people

Somehow thought this thread was going to be about ancient boardgames like Hnefatafl (Norse), or Mehen (Egyptian).
 
I still play UT GOTY edition a lot. Also UT 2K4 occasionally, but only for the vehicles.
 
By the way, anyone who hasn't played MDK2 hasn't seen one of the wackiest game worlds. It was pretty unique and funny.
