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

[88keys]

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.)

 

[DigDog]

i think one would be - if i still had a PlayStation - the old Wipeout2097.

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.

I'm going to be due my annual play through of X-COM in a couple months.

 

[olds]

I play COD4 almost everyday.

 

[Jeff7]

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.

 

[Pacfanweb]

On PC I and my 8 year old son regularly play:

Unreal Tournament (the original)
Serious Sam the Second Encounter
Call of Duty 2
Battlefield 1942
RTCW
Quake 3 Arena

 

[brianmanahan]

OH and Deus Ex!

probably the best game i have ever played. beaten it 5-6 times.

 

[lxskllr]

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.

 

[DaTT]

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.

There are Linux builds of that game, FYI. direct download link from file planet

OpenTTD (transport tycoon deluxe) is probably the oldest game I play, although it has been very infrequent now that I have such a huge Steam backlog.

Sweet! Downloading now. Looks like the game's free to play now. I have all the art assets backed up on my Windows partition, but it's still cool of them to release the game at no cost. It would be even cooler if they released the assets under a CC license so they could be used in other projects.
