How often do you play old games?

Hmm, well since I don't have as long a gaming life as most I count "old" as the early years of the last generation backwards (so 2007 and behind). Seven years for most consoles would be a generation and a year or so, so it fits for me even with this anomalous result.

I do play them quite often and last year I got my first PS2. Today I started playing Rayman 1 and how I am reminded of how much I hate moving with the D-Pad (ugh). I also finally started playing Spiderman 2 The Movie The Game (yes) the other day despite owning it for months and I've got quite a few games I need to play through.

Depends on what you call "Old". I just got finished replaying "Kingdom Hearts" because the HD collection came out. Since then I've been playing Final Fantasy IV the Complete Collection on my PSP. Reading a Star Wars novel has me itching to replay KotOR again, and I usually play Prince of Persia whenever I get really sad with new releases. Especially Warrior Within. In fact, it's hard to remember many games in the PS3 generation that I found genuinely more engaging than the PS2 era.

Pretty often, actually. Comes with having a decent backlog. That said, I make an annual point of playing Paper Mario and one of the Zelda games, and that occasionally devolves into playing three or four of them. I have constant restarting and replaying of Earthbound, Mother 3, Chrono Trigger, and Super Mario RPG on my phone. I just finished a Pokemon binge up to gen 3, collecting each 'mon (and caught my first shiny!).

I'm currently playing FFX and Secret of Mana for the first times, being in need of a really good RPG with a bit of grind to it that I could just sink into without having to spend twenty hours in a tutorial before spending five hours and finishing the game.

The last recent title I played was South Park: Stick of Truth, and that was over in such a short time I barely had enough time to say I was enjoying it before I'd consumed it, like a small cup of ice cream. Short of Dark Souls, I haven't found a game where I could spend sixty hours in recently, and I've been craving for that. And old games offer that in abundance.

All the damn time

I may be playing through Dark Souls 2 NG+, but I still make time for a Medieval 2: Total War campaign on the side, and whatever else sounds good at the time. Actually, Pharaoh/Cleopatra sounds pretty great right about now....

It depends what you define as "old". When it comes to PS2, very very often. I always have a PS2 hooked up to my TV. I love it so much. Also I have about 4 copies of Silent Hill 2 (don't ask. It just kinda happened and I don't have the heart to sell any of them), it's my favourite game so I play it quite often. I always seem to think of something new about it, or see something I hadn't noticed before in it. As for older than that, yes I play PS1 games quite often, too. And I spend a lot of time on Pokemon Crystal and Yellow these days. I play old games very very often. In fact most of the time. The only really new game I've been playing lately is Final Fantasy 14.

I plugged my PS2 back in a couple weeks ago. I played Silent Hill 2 and 3, Primal and Okami, and I bought old Crash Bandicoot and Lord of the Rings games for it as well. They should be getting here soon.
I'm also playing Final Fantasy IX on my Vita.
