What are some old games that you still pick up and play?

One that I keep going back to is Castlevania SOTN. Just beat that game as Alucard, then as Richter for probably the 7th time by now. I always wait until just enough time passes to where I forget most of the castle and then try to remember it all again.

It's such a shame that there has been no other Castlevania games quite this good released on a home console.

I never get sick of playing the 3DO version of Return Fire.

I just got 200.8% (or whatever the full completion number is) maybe 6 months back, definitely in my top 5. Shortly after that I beat Megaman 2 and Super Metroid. I'd like to do a full NES Mario completion soon as well (1, 2 and 3.)

possibly Tekken 2 and 3 as well.

I have an arcade that I built (mame machine). So there are quite a few I keep going back to, TMNT, Renegade, Double Dragon, Karnov, D&D, Rastan 3 and Donkey Kong are the more typical ones.

My buddies and I were just enjoying some Soul Calibur 2 on the Dreamcast a few nights ago.

F-22 Lightning 3.

Unfortunately, it's not terribly stable in Windows 7, prone to crashing to the desktop after about 20-30 minutes.



I do miss mouse-heavy FPS games, and RTS games like Homeworld 2, otherwise there'd be more on that list.
31 years old, and the joints in this damn hand of mine are already going to hell. :\

I'll once in a while pull out Worms Armageddon. I don't play all that much in terms of games any more, though.

I like RTCW, and wouldn't mind playing through it again. I need to see in I can get it installed in Wine. I don't especially like booting to Windows.

I recently installed the original Unreal Tournament and played for a bit. I used to be ranked (ngStats) in the top 20 for low grav instagib back in the day.
