Old but gold - what are you playing?

[Mordekaien]

Neverwinter Nights 1 for me. I still like the campaigns even though it's kind of dumb and silly

Also, Prince of Persia, the first 2D one. So much awesomness under sixty minutes? That's casual gaming for you.

 

[AntiChri5]

Currently playing X-Com UFO defence.

Some annoying outdated mechanics and conventions, but i am enjoying it and all in all it is a pretty damn solid game. Too bad i was only 4 or so when it came out, and couldn't enjoy it before parts of it became so dated.

Just played Half Life, kinda bothers me that the FOV resets itself everytime you restart the game.

And GTA III, my fave GTA together with 2

I literally just finished a playthrough on Bloodlines. Played with CompMod on, I had Ash with me for most of the time, my character was a Nosferatu with lots of hacking and lockpicking, other people did the fighting and the talking for him. I went with the lone wolf ending, because hell yeah!

Booya!
Love that game, it's aged so well.

Spoiler: Oh I don't know, I suppose there is that one game I try to mention every five posts I make. I do like playing that once in a bluemoon just to make myself smile...

It can also boast one of hell of a soundtrack

ninja'd on the first post. oh well have to post videos now.

 

[Wado Rhyu]

Morrowind for me. i just can't stop loving it. also still haven't finished the final mission. even though i am playing it for 4 years now

 

[Riddle78]

Freelancer is a big one;thank god for the Discovery mod. Aside from that,I regularly play Heroes of Might & Magic III: Complete. I just can't get enough of Crag Hack. Agrael (HoMM V) is nice...But nothing tops Crag.

 

[Pandalisk]

Rome:Total War, i've never seen a game age so well!

 

[KoudelkaMorgan]

I was playing Final Fantasy II on my DS before today. I got Borderlands 2 in the mail today, so its gonna get shelved for a while.

Already played it many times though.

 

[M4t3us]

Fallout 2, although I'm not sure it fits the criteria since I've been playing it every week since 1998. >.>

 

[falcon1985]

Pharaoh. Think CitiesXL/sim city in ancient Egypt.

The first game i ever played, and Im happy to say its great for more than the nostalgia

If you want to show a youtube video all you have to do is put "youtube" into closed brackets make an equals sign and take the gibberish in the address bar, in this case it was RRtlWfi6jiM, and C+P it so it looks something like this "youtube=RRtlWfi6jiM", put it in brackets where the " are and voilà.
ANYWAY does GTA 4 count as an old game yet? If not I'm also playing through MGS2 and 3 because they're amazing and I'm a fanboy.

Not sure if you can call Warcraft III an oldie yet (more than 10 years old now), but I am having a blast with that and it's expansion. I never did play it without cheats when I was younger, and it is a whole different experience, I must say.

Warcraft III was the first PC game I ever owned and played the FUDGE out of; went back to it like a year ago and realised that I hadn't been paying attention (I was, like, 14 at the time, and again, not only first PC but first real RTS) to all the different types of damage and the buffs.

It ages well, very well indeed; although getting an actual game of the base game on Battle.net at the time was...well...impossible unless it was prearranged.

Also planning on a big ol' playthrough of Fallouts 1-3 (this'll probably be over a few years...) with a character with 1 luck. His name is Errol.

Found Rogue Trooper surprisingly good. As a big fan of 2000ad I wasn't expecting much from a tie in game but it was actually pretty faithful. Getting to play through such an iconic moment as the quartz zone massacre was a bit of a treat.

Now we need a decent Dredd game. I'm not counting the old Commodore 64 one, that's getting too old school. Speaking of the 64, there needs to be a new Strontium Dog game, there is a lot of potential in that for an awesome bounty hunting game.

Agreed.Rogue Trooper was an enjoyable game and I would also love to see a new Dredd game.I was expecting one to come out to tie in with the movies release but there seems to be nothing on the horizon

What's surprising is the complete lack of 2000AD games.Rebellion Games own 2000AD so you would expect them to be using the licences a bit more but aside from last years Dredd IOS game there hasn't been a proper 2000AD game since Rogue Trooper.Surely the likes of Dredd,Rogue,Slainé,Strontium Dogs etc. are ripe for game versions

Absolutely, given the turgid gaming that is available at the moment, surely a great 2000ad game could stir things up. Imagine Johny Alpha and Wulf Sturmhammer turning up for a case. How do you handle it, time bomb, number four cartridge or der happystick?

I recently started playing Alien Breed: Tower Assault again, after finishing the Evolution Trilogy, brings back memories.

 

[Naeras]

The old games (as in, last generation or earlier) I'm currently playing are Heroes of Might and Magic 3, Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike and Banjo Kazooie. Heroes 3 is a freaking classic, SF3 is probably the best 2D fighting game ever made, and Banjo Kazooie is a good game that involves a lot of nostalgia for me.

Personally I'd love a Slainé game.He'd be a perfect candidate for a God of War style hack n' slash or something along those lines you would think.

 

[Barry Purse]

Spoiler: Still the most entertaining fighting game I've ever played. And the graphics still hold up today

Bloody roar 5 where are you?

 

[Tropicaz]

I was going to make a thread on this; i've moved into my new house for the year and my housemate brought his PS2, so we've been playing a ton of pro evo 4 (from 2004), Croc legend of the gobbos, Rayman Crash bandicoot 2, Crash team racing and crash bash. Ultimate nostalgia kicks.
Also, croc is unbelievably tricky. The clunky controls make it so challenging, at 19 years old i'm struggling with a game I completed aged 4 or 5.
