The first game i ever played, and Im happy to say its great for more than the nostalgia :D
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.
Thanks man

I was wondering about that...

Just finished a speedrun of Final Fantasy VII at 9:03. It's over an hour too long for any records, but still pretty good if I do say so myself. I think my very first playthrough was around 77 hours.

Another one I've been playing is Smackdown! Here Comes the Pain on PS2. It baffles me how Yuke's does annual releases now, and they still haven't managed to surpass a game from 2003. Even the graphics look the same!

For pure nostalgia: Ocarina of Time and Warcraft II

For best RTS of all time: Starcraft: Broodwar.

But I'll pull out old DOS games on occasion.

I recently started playing Alien Breed: Tower Assault again, after finishing the Evolution Trilogy, brings back memories.
I've got that on the Amiga CD-32, awesome game.

At the moment, I'm playing a game from my childhood, Jet Force Gemini. It's so, so good.

I've also just picked up Skies of Arcadia, and I'm looking forward to playing that next.
Grew up with an Amiga 500, it no longer works, so emulator is the only way.

Although I haven't actually played it before, I'm playing through Thief II: the Metal Age and am loving it. The variety of ways that is presented in approaching each level makes the game extremely refreshing.

I've been thinking of going through a few of my PS2 titles but I've constantly been held back due to a faulty wire (which shuts off the console if I so much as look at it funny) and a dodgy controller (large, bulky and kind of unresponsive). Huge shame because there's so many games that I want to revisit there!

I guess for old games that I can actually play, my sister has recently acquired a copy of this:


Which I have swiftly stolen so that I may play it for myself. It seems kind of complicated, but I've only been at it for a few hours and it's my first go at an RTS game so it's all just baby steps.

The original Sims. I remember having a lot of fun with this back in the day, and it's still pretty fun now. Fortunately, the loading times are a lot shorter now haha

I am ashamed to say that I spilled curry on my 360 afew years ago and have not had a current gen console since, I was fairly content until recently when my gaming laptop packed in and left me with no other option but to borrow other people's computers when to surf the web and such.

At any rate Ive more or less been exclusivly been playing on the playstation and ps2 for a while now and have been playing through every FF I own. I can proudly say that I have made it up to X-2 and will be moving on to XII in the near future, then I will likely start again with VI.

Currently working on Final Fantasy VI (Advance). Still one of the greatest games ever made.

Some people would argue it's not technically a set of old games, but I've just finished the Ratchet and Clank HD Trilogy and that hasn't aged too badly at all, I had lots of fun. I often go back to Gen IV Pokemon games as well, but they're only like 2 or 3 years old anyway.

Actually, it's very rare I go back to a game that was released before 2007, guess I'm just not a fan of aged games.

Well...I burn my CD-32 games, because they are some of the hardest games to get. I do have Rise of the Robots on disc though *shudders*.

You can also make a CD-32 into a fully functioning Amiga if you have a floppy disc drive. You can also play original Amiga titles via compilation discs. I have two, which is well over a thousand games if you put both together.

End of thread, ladies and gents.

This is the one I am currently replaying, and am playing some fan-made mission packs as well. Never gets old.

im currently playing through the legacy of kain soul reaver for the first time, and it pretty cool, the story and characters so far have been intresting and the combat has been good if alittle bit shallow. i also really like how the vampire are portrayed in the game, it good to see some proper monster vampire for once.

With some games graphics do not matter that much. I am of course thinking of the epic grand strategy game Europa Universalis II. That game never gets old!

I'm currently playing through xenosaga episode 1,2 and 3 . The story is amazing , i haven't played 3 yet , but i'm replayig the first two to get back into it . I wannna know how the story ends .
They had the budget cut short, plus internal strife caused the series to be finished at part 3 of 6 (Xenogears would have been part 5). Still, they decide to end the thing with a BANG!
Although stupid censors cut out all instances of blood.

I've recently been playing Psychonauts. Found a copy of it at my local game shop and remembered the amount of fun I had on it.
