I started playing Homeworld again just so I could fight the Turanic Raiders for the first time.
Again.
Again.
I just got my PS2 emulator working (PCSX2) and am going through and playing a bunch of old games, as well as some new (to me) games.
Unfortunately, i have no way to get the old saves to the "new" system, so im starting everything over from scratch.

I replay old games that I enjoy all the time, the original iD Software FPS games in particular.
As for old games I'm playing for the first time? I just got started on the Resident Evil franchise. I picked up the first one saying "Well it's just six games, and I can't properly call myself a survival horror fan if I haven't played Resident Evil, now can I?"
Then I discovered that there are nearly 26 of these freaking games.
I can't say I'm surprised, knowing Capcom. "well, screw that!" said I. "I'll just play the main ones with numbers in the title!"
I hope this doesn't result in some sort of enormous leap where a bunch of crap I've never heard about gets talked about commonplace.
Anyways, I'm nearly done with Resident Evil 2, playing as Leon.

I recently picked up Baldur's Gate 2 and Planescape: Torment on GOG.com, I heard a lot of good things about those games, but I've never gotten around to playing them until now (loving them both, though I do wish the camera in Torment would just zoom out a little bit, it feels rather cramped).
Street Fighter 2 Turbo and Super Mario Bros 3 because they are awesome, also regularly play Crash Team Racing (when friends are around) and will be starting another playthrough of FFVII when I get some time.
Very recently though as in the last few days the oldest I have played is SF3 Third Strike.

Gamecube nostalgia is the only reason I haven't thrown my Wii in a river; I still play the Prime series and Tales of Symphonia regularly.
That and I do a run-through of all the Ratchet and Clank games once a year.

I still play Age of Empires II, don't think I've stopped playing it since I got it, well, years and years and years ago.
And Evil Genius, a game that definetly deserves a sequel (sadly, the game studio went down tough, so that won't happen).
I'd also like to install Theme Park World and Black and White, but unfortunately, age has taken it's toll on the compability mode and they don't work in Windows 7
Damn I love those two games.

Have you played Caesar III? Quite identical to Pharaoh except, well, it's Rome.Tayh said:

I'm on a classics binge right now.
Played through most of Fallout 1 a week ago, now I'm on Fallout 2. (High-resolution mod, Fallout 2 Restoration mod; to make it more palatable.)
Really enjoying it, and will probably move on to Fallout: Tactics.. buut.. a lot of releases are dropping at the start of October. Resident Evil 6, Dishonored & XCOM just to name a few.

Some of the best main menu music ever.Baldry said:
Anyway, I recently played Alpha Protocol, Fallout: New Vegas, and I'm in the middle of KOToR 2 and Dragon Age.
Since GOG.com was offering a neat little deal, I treat myself to possibly my all-time favorite game ever.

I've been trying out a variety of old games recently, mostly because I'm currently gaming on a severe budget.
Ultima 4: Definitely still fun, but it hasn't aged all that well.
Planescape Torment: Has some of the best dialogue I've ever seen and the setting is awesome. The gameplay though... ehh. It definitely would've worked better turn-based.
ADOM: One of the best games I've ever played. Massive world, engaging quests, loads and loads of content; pretty much awesome in every way.
Nethack: God I wish I could like this game. It's clear why it's a classic, but it just hasn't aged well. The dungeons are repetitive and overly difficult to navigate. It's usually obvious where a secret door is located, but the search function takes so obnoxiously long to detect them that they might as well be dead ends. I have a feeling it gets better once you get to the Quest, but a game with permadeath shouldn't take very long to become enjoyable, considering the amount of times you'll be forced to redo the first ten or so levels.

Yeah a Slaine game would be awesome, any game where you could have a warp spasm would be awesome come to think of it.MetalDooley said:
