What's the oldest game you still play?

Oh yeah. I forgot to list AOE. That's I play 1-3 at least once a month

 

Try to run it in DOSbox! I think it should run fine. I'd tell you if I could just remember where I put those floppies 8 years ago.

Earthsiege 1 seems to run fine in DOSbox, ES2 unfortunately doesn't. Comanche 3 works well if you have a strong CPU. The same goes for the DOS version of C&C RedAlert 1.
Dune and Master of Orion II even run quite fine on a netbook. Ikarion Zeppelin does as well, but I guess nobody here knows it.

 

You said floppies and all I could think about was back in the day, installing Win98 off of 30+ floppy disks...one..by one...by one...

Oldest game i currently play? Hm, well I've played Diablo 2 recently, but I wouldn't consider myself actively playing it. Most games I currently play are relatively recent.

 

That was an awesome game. I must have played through it at least 5 times. Though I'd have to say that Final Fantasy Tactics was better combat wise, though less in-depth (no base building, or weapons research). I wish they'd come out with a new game in this style. (on a real system, like PC or Xbox360; not PSP or Nintendo DS)

 

Hey another Commander Keen player!!!!!, Also the origional Tie Fighter, Oregon Trail ( both text and win 3.1 versions as I no longer have the AII or C64 Version), and the origional EGA version of Mechwarrior from Activision ( 2 720K floppies )

 

Deus Ex - 2000, Age of Empires II - 1999, King's Quest Series - 80's

I play Age of Empires regularly and the other two maybe once ever other week.

 

CS Source.

 

Try Jagged Alliance 2 (1999 or something) or a JA2 1.13 mod
some1 is making JA3 now, tho my expectations for it are quite low

There's also a remake of XCOM called UFO:Extraterrestrials, but other than graphics it's worse than XCOM ..... /FACEPALM

 

Recently played through Fallout 1 & 2 (preparing for New Vegas). Still find myself frequently playing Diablo 2.

 

Myth 2: Soulblighter (1998)

 

Total Annihilation ('97)

 

doom 95 on my laptop

 

StarCraft and Halo PC.

I haven't played this one in a while, but I just wanted to get the name out there: Novastorm.

Try finding some videos for it on YouTube; it has some great music.

 

Starcraft.

 

Turrican series on my Amiga 1990

 

Once in a while I reinstall Tie-Fighter Collector CD-ROM with a dos and soundblaster emulator and fire away. even after 16 years this game still rocks.

 

Grand Prix 4 and Nascar Racing 2002

 

Any SNES games..I still have my SNES hooked up and whatever games I don't have I just have them emulated.

 

Master of Orion
X-Wing
Doom

Not sure which is the oldest...Doom was the first of the three that I played...X-Wing and Master of Orion were the reasons that I bought my own PC in 1994...

I regularly play Master of Orion under DosBox...and technically, I play newer versions of X-Wing (Collectors' series with the LucasArts XP patch) and Doom (Ultimate Doom) than the originals from 1993...and I don't play either of these too often...Doom is for nostalgia only (Duke Nukem 3D was a lot more fun) and it always takes me a while to remember how to adjust my shields/lasers/engines on X-Wing and use the keyboard to adjust throttle...

I emulate a lot of older stuff on my laptop that I regularly play with the oldest being from the arcade (mame...typically Black Tiger or Cyberball), Commodore 64 (CCS...typically Raid on Bungeling Bay or Questron) and NES (Ultra...typically Mike Tyson's Punchout, Super Mario Bros., Kid Icarus or Metroid)...

 

Diablo II!!!!!

 

Probably NFS: High Stakes...all the way from 1999...

NFS was never the same since the Underground series...

 

house of the dead 2, dreamcast with gun

 

Master of Orion is quite possible responsible for my poor academic skills in grade school. that game was soo addictive! i need my fix! torrents? haha
i had a working version on my old computer but it bit the dust about 3 years ago.

 

I miss my Dreamcast SOOOO much

Now that was a console with a lineup of extremely fun/entertaining games.

I tried House of the Dead @ "Sega City" (a gigantic Sega building with massive amounts of Sega arcades) in Toronto a VERY long time ago Great classic!

 

Death Rally!! Still play it to this day....a pure classic!

 

When I get back from holidays i'm getting Tony hawks 2, Sony adventures 1 + 2, sword of the berserk, crazy taxi 2 and a few more classics , think I may get an n64 aswel.

 

Impulse Driven : Master of Orion II
Master of Orion 1+2 - GOG.com
Master of Orion 3 - GOG.com

 

Does anyone even remember Legends of Kesmai?

 

Chess.

I keep losing, though.

 

I still play a lot Sim City 4 (2003) after many years of playing the previous n.3, 2 and 1 obviously;

 

Desperados Wanted Dead Or Alive (2001), it's less complicated then Commandos 2, but I still like it more because of the western feeling and story.

 

Doom I and II using doom 95 so it works in win 7! Also massive homeworld fan. Discovered it upon release of Homeworld Cataclysm and bought the other two shortly after so own all three

Unfortunately I get bored of games completely after 2 or 3 play through's so haven't played them for a couple of years.

Also Dungeon Keeper 1 and 2. Best RTS of all time

 

zero wing..

 

Lemmings Lemmings

 

Wow, forgot about Lemmings....blast from the past! lol

 

final fantasy 6 on my cellphone
and crash bash too

 

Have any of you seen the commercial for the new Mario game on Nintendo DS?? It looks a lot like a modern Mario version of Lemmings. YouTube - Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Miniland Mayhem | E3 trailer Nintendo DS

 

Doom 3 & RoE...

 

how is tie fighter? i only had x-wing vs tie fighter, which while fun, i read that its different from the other games, in that theres less of a story mode. i have x-wing alliance too and that one has a good singleplayer mode with story and stuff, is that what tie fighter is like too?

 

Just started a new game of Legend of Zelda (the original) on my GBA. And I usually have a few Rogue-like games installed.

 

Command and conquer Ra2, tiberium sun.... best ones before ea ruined the franchise

 

To be fair EA already owned the franchise by then

 

Well let me tell you, Tie fighter is my all time fav. Basically you went from being a nobody pilot to the second in command in Vader's Scuadron and the fav. pilot of the emperor (he even gives you a cool tattoo)... Missions were very well designed, you have to actually think what to do and how to accomplish it. I was way way better than any other starwars sim at the time.

Oh and don't let me get started on flying these two babies: Missile Boat - Wookieepedia, the Star Wars Wiki
TIE/D Defender - Wookieepedia, the Star Wars Wiki

 

oldest... hmm its either medal of honor allied assualt or crinsom skies on pc..

 

can't believe i'm the first to say this one: Counter-Strike 1.6

 

I just got original Starcraft running on win 7 with the few tweaks out there, I think I can finally play it reliably again. I have tried but cannot get motoracer 1 and 2 to run on win 7, otherwise I would be playing those as well.

 

Fallout 2 - so many variables.

 

Saiyuki: Journey West - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia for those who don't know. playing it on my pc

 

Ok, you win this thread

 

Totally . . . I just fired it up for an hour, turned into two hours -- great game.

Something I forgot about it is the amount of keyboard shortcuts. There are a lot to memorize -- it is essential to playing the game effectively. Flight mechanics -- dealing with your laser/shield/engine power levels, etc -- not an easy game.
What I really need to do is get a joystick. The joystick I used to play the game with has a serial port.
