How often do you play old games?

[Yopaz]

I don't even have time to play the games I have on my new systems so I try to branch out by playing games I haven't played before. So sadly I do not play old games unless you'd count Killing Floor as an old game. It's 5 years (and half a month) old so it's not really old...

About 50% of the time.

Nowadays, I play Civ 5 and Empire Total War on my PC. Sometimes Hearthstone and Eve Online.
But Uncharted: Drake's Fortune and Assassin's Creed 3. FFXIII-3 remains untouched from my first play.
And in my PS4, Child of Light.

If they would release the Crash Bandicoot games, I would kill to play them. Or Final Fantasy IX.

So due to budget and lack of hours at work I have some time to play old games. I recently beat Silent Hill 2 (still creepy as all s**t) after over a decade... I currently just popped in Fallout New Vegas. Soon I may get Crusader Kings II, but only because Rome 2 mods crashed my game :/

Fallout: New Vegas is old? OK then I guess the old game that I most recently played was Fallout: New Vegas.

well I made a mod that took over 15 hour to make for Fallout New Vegas while going on the occasional Massacre with my mod testing character. That still counts as playing
I fully endorse using my mod that makes object ownership more logical for the whole game. When say the whole game I mean almost very interior cell with owned Item in the Mojave along with some exterior places as well. I am of course am biased in it's favor due being the one who made it.

I play more older games than new ones. For example, so far in 2014 the only 2014 game I've played is Mario Kart 8. The rest of the games I play are from all over the gaming timeline from NES-present. I replay my favorites at least once a year as well, and others if I feel like it.

Somewhat often, especially if it was a game that I missed when it originally came out. I played KOTOR for the first time less than a year ago, and I started the second game but something distracted me. Games like Halo CE continue to hold up to this day, and the Anniversary edition helps too, so I run through that every now and again.

I play old games more often than newer games.

If only because I know which of my old games are fun to play.

It's also fun going back and trying to beat games you haven't played in years but were never able to beat.

Also, I'm also getting old lol because "New Vegas" to me is a relatively new game.

i spend as much time playing ps1 and ps2 games every year that i do playing current gen/next gen.

I generally tend to play a lot of newer games so not often. The older game I've played most recently was Oblivion, but that was a few months ago. Though I did buy the first Killzone the other day and have yet to play it.

 

[putowtin]

All the time, I buy new games only if I really realy fancy them, most of the time though I'll just wait till there on sale.
Just played Watch Dogs, tonight I'll be heading back to New Vegas!

 

[Kroxile]

You're talkin to the guy who just recently beat Doom 1 and 2 on Hard Mode for fun.

Yeah, I play old games more often than newer ones. New games just don't have "it" like older titles do

 

[SuperlativeHyberbole]

Just started half life again recently as my son has been playing the orange box. Had to get it on the PS2 as the PC gave up the ghost a few weeks back. Its funny the things you forget/overlook, memory cards for instance, I used to have memory cards coming out the wazoo! Not one in the whole bloody house now. Also does the Mega Drive collection on the 360 count, because I often chuck streets of rage on.

 

[likalaruku]

I got into retro gaming in 2007, after the place I worked out went belly-up & laid everyone off. At that point the only games I could afford to play were emulators (catching up on all the stuff I missed because Ma wouldn't buy me any more consoles after the Sega Genesis), Facebook games, & FTP MMOs.

Can't play all the old stuff I want though; after switching to Windows 7, a lot of my old favorites won't run, & I'm far to lazy to learn how to set up XP in sandbox mode or dual boot OSs.

 

[Shiftygiant]

I still dig out my PS2 from time to time for nostalgia and play Silent Hill 2, 3 and maybe Oni if I'm up for it. I'm currently looking for a replacement for my (Now) broken copy of Half Life on PS2. I might just buy it on steam to be honest.

 

[NoeL]

Almost exclusively. I just started playing Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles again, and before that I was playing Wild Guns.

 

[CrazyCapnMorgan]

I stopped playing Breath of Fire 2 momentarily to post that I'm currently playing Breath of Fire 2.

 

[SonOfVoorhees]

All the time, XCOM and Syndicate series. Wish i could get Vandal Hearts 1 and 2, Turrican 3 and Creatures 1 and 2 on steam/Gog.

 

[Atmos Duality]

The Intellivision games get busted out every now and again too.

Which ones? I just finished rolling through Tower Of Doom.
It can get surprisingly hard when you don't roll a Warlord.

 

[lacktheknack]

I'm playing Avernum right now.

No, THE ORIGINAL.

And I recently beat and reviewed Bad Mojo, too...

 

[duwenbasden]

Define "old".

I still play SimCity 2000 here and then:

Warcraft 3
SimCity 4
SimCity Classic
SimFarm
Top Racer 1
Bomberman 1-4

Been playing SC4 RushHour lately too. New New York needed some tending to. I kinda miss the flowing rivers and hydroelectric plants you could make in SC2000.

Would more accurately be called "New New New New New New New New New New New New New New New New York". I've been focusing on towns lately, with the big city feeding it.

Yes to waterfalls I call my hydroelectric-plants-on-a-mound "anthills", but that takes up too much room.

 

[The Artificially Prolonged]

Fairly often, I've a few games that I like to playthrough again and again. Deus Ex, Hogs of War, Mercenaries, Timesplitters, Populous The Beginning, Final Fantasy VII and the MGS series are ones I do go back and play quite regularly when the mood takes me.

I also like to go back a beat games that either I missed when I was younger or was never able to beat at the time. To that effect I'm currently playing through Abe's Oddysee.
