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

[digiram]

Of course sotn and super metroid.. Timeless classics.

Some of the GBA metroids and Castlevania are real good as well.

Sonic 2 as well for me

 

[l0cke]

OH and Deus Ex!

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

I replay Deus Ex a lot, but it's not something I can just pick up and play. I have to wait for a break in school and cancel all my plans for that time just to play Deus Ex. Same with Fallout 2.

I do pick up and play Tetris all the time, I've got 3 versions on my 3DS.

Generally, I do not like Angry Birds, but everyone in my family likes it and plays. And I am constantly getting back to that stupid game.

That game is sooooo old.

When will you useless spam/marketers figure out how obvious you are? Stop cultivating accounts by paying English-speakers to participate just enough to post a link. They couldn't be paying you enough considering your English ability.

Oh man, Gargoyle's Quest was great. Much better than the other releases of that series, which is sad, because it should have gone on for longer.

Red Alert was goooooold. Sooooo much fun playing that on LANs back in the 90s.

I find myself playing HOMM3 on and off over the years, and of course Tetris once in a while.

Links Awakening about every year.
Zelda 1 or 2 every other Christmas time.
Final Fantasy III (VI)
Super Mario All-Stars all the time.
One of the Castlevania's every halloween.

 

[ipown1337]

Every once I a while I fire up Final Fantasy 3, Super Mario 64 (been contemplating getting a 3ds to play at work during lunch), UT99, UT 2004, And Flight Simulator X.

Yes, good stuff.

Or playing over a modem with direct dial-in to the person.

"Mom! Don't pick up the phone when it rings! The computer will pick it up."

Nothing quite like doing a "zerg-rush" on your unsuspecting opponent. And I place that in quotes because one fun game featured a rush of just two cruisers, which merrily rolled in unopposed, and quickly leveled all structures in range. That only worked once though. From then on, I was greeted with heavy Submarine and Mig resistance, and usually an onslaught of Mammoth Tanks.

I still like to play a Sega NHL 94 playoff round every now and then.

I play old Tiger Woods golf games frequently. I love playing The Predator, Black Rock Cove, The Highlands etc maxed out to see if I can still break par (usually I can't anymore).

Oh yes... I still LOVE me some Link's Awakening. I hate that the DX version spoils all the good secrets that made the game so rewarding for me to overcome on my own so long ago. All those dumb beak-less "owl statues" scattered all over the dungeons in place of one or two stone slabs missing a piece... grrrrr. The un-skipable text irks me too. I'm one of the few who would tell a new player to play the original B&W version.

How often do you play Hotel Dusk: Room 215? I bought it but didn't care enough to finish it, especially after Trace Memory. I still can't get over the dude in your avatar having a *mobile* pager in the '70s!

 

[sourceninja]

I play far too many old games to even list them all. Lately I just replayed though nwn2 and I've moved on to it's expansion.

 

[exdeath]

I recently completed low level run of Final Fantasy III (VI) (beat game at level 6) and a < 3 hour run through Resident Evil on GameCube.

Tons though. Seriously can't list them because most all I play is pre DudeBrox 360.

PC = System Shock 2 and Deus Ex no doubt. Its like a ritual I go through every year or so.

 

[blackdogdeek]

In the bathroom, on the toilet tank sits a GameBoy Advance SP which is tasked with playing a single game: Tetris.

Desert Combat

If I could play it on my phone, I would get zero work done ever.

"You've got the Compass! Now, you can see where the chests and Nightmare are hidden! This Compass has a new feature-- a tone will tell you if a key is hidden in a room when you enter!" Yes that is my only complaint about the game, but it is still one of the best Zeldas.

I forgot to add Hotel Dusk: Room 215. Play it around Christmas time too, because that's when I bought it, and because the events in the story take place Dec 23 - 25. The second one was OK, but mostly just the same as the first.
