Old but gold - what are you playing?

[Spaghetti]

Most certainly Sid Meier's Gettysburg!

Spoiler

I jotted down my victories in my Gettysburg! campaign book. I always used to do
that so I could replay my moments of glory over a glass of brandy in
my study. I ask you, what better way is there to spend a Saturday night?

I'm playing too much at once. It's odd because I usually limit myself to a max of two games at once (not counting things like TF2, which I'm always playing on a nearly daily basis). Here's the list:
-Torchlight II
-Darksiders II
-Guild Wars II (I'm only now realizing I have a pattern of two's going on here)
-Sleeping Dogs
-Planescape: Torment
-Fallout: New Vegas (I'm on a very gradual run of it. Might just play for two days in a month).

I'm also downloading Dota 2, which will be my first MOBA. I'm kind of intimidated by everything I hear about the community, but whatever. They'll have to deal with my newbishness. On another note, Guild Wars II is my first MMO. Yay for trying new things!

Also: Darksiders II is fantastic and I'm sad it hasn't been discussed much here.

 

[Sarah Kerrigan]

Pharaoh. Think CitiesXL/sim city in ancient Egypt.

Oh my god I loved that game when I was like, eight XD I remember building everything except for a fire house XDD

Oldest game I am playing now is Resident Evil 4 (HD version) Getting ready for Resident Evil 6

I still play the original Halo: CE from time to time if that counts as "old"(I'm playing the new HD remake though). I know it doesn't really count as old because it's current gen still, but damn is GTAIV an awesome (currently on my 3rd replay).

 

[BehattedWanderer]

I've been replaying Saints Row 3 for a bit, but before that I played through Super Mario Bros 3, end to end. Might do some Zelda runs here in a bit. Or finally try out Metal Gear Solid, since my friend lent it to me.

 

[IamQ]

Well, just today I installed the Three Kingdoms mod for Rome: Total War, letting me play as one of the many clans in Ancent China. It's not a perfect mod (The NPC's occasionally say "Rome has conquered!" and the map can be very empty at times) but it's still pretty fun.

 

[Greni]

GTA: Vice City. My current re-re-replay.

Maybe you can help me with something: Back in my playthrough I got obsessed with the Bloodring- mastering control of your derby car on the uneven ground with cars exploding all around you was just about the best minigame GTA ever had for me. To win you had to rack up one minute's worth of time, but once I beat that it became 2... then 3... etc.

Do you know if it ever reaches an end? Or does it go on forever?

Sorry mate, I haven't gotten to that on my current playthrough. Only done playing a pizza boy, in a cop outfit.

Though I do remember from way back that it wasn't supposed to be a fuss to get the bloodring racer.

To the google!

 

[MidnightSt]

once in a while I reinstall Planescape: Torment and give it some 10-20 hours.
Once in a while, I play GTA:SA that I never uninstalled (and never finished so far, I hate the fucking flying missions),
Sometimes I'll have a battle or two in first IL2.

 

[The Almighty Aardvark]

Currently playing Final Fantasy IX and I have got to say, for a game on the Playstation 1 that game looks amazing. Not to mention the amazing soundtrack.

Other old games I'll frequently come back to? Spyro, Metroid Prime (don't know if that'd exactly be considered old), SotC and my number one goto game, Crash Team Racing. Seriously, I don't think I've played a racing game as fun as CTR since... ever

 

[NinjaSniperAssassin]

Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando. My first ever console game and still one of my favorite games of all time.

Captcha: once again. Why yes, captcha. 20+ times, in fact.

 

[Storm Dragon]

I just recently finished the first two Thief games after seeing how highly Yahtzee recommended them in Zero Punctuation. I was also playing the first Deus Ex until I proved that there is a build that you can't beat the game with. Namely the build where both of your legs are crippled at the beginning of the Paris section and you have no medpacks, bioelectric energy, or biocells; forcing you to crawl slowly on the ground wondering what was on that shelf in the shed on the roof. It was probably a medpack. And there's that crate of medical supplies on the other side of that window, but I can't move fast enough to get to it before the radiation kills me, even with the hazmat suit on. JUST ONE MEDPACK, THAT'S ALL I WANT! WHY WON'T YOU GIVE IT TO ME?

ahem...

Anyway, I'm giving that a break before I start a new game.

You ever played MTA SA (MultiTheftAuto SA)? Its preety cool, it has a bunch of cool deathmatch and destruction derby modes. The RP mode is also very cool if you are into that.

OT: I finished Psychonauts and tried to start Grim Fandango not too long ago. I also went on a Tony Hawk spree (THPS 2,3 and 4)

 

[IamLEAM1983]

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!

Awesome. Still occasionally mucking around Bloodlines, myself. I've also been replaying Mass Effect for the purposes of leveling a single toon all the way across three games. I've never imported a single save before and had three Sheps for three seperate adventures, because why the fuck not.

As for Bloodlines, I'll admit I mostly just reload my Nosferatu Warrens save and talk to Gary. About, oh, once a week or so. That comvo's just too fucking awesome.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

Right now? Metroid: Zero Mission. I've already 100%ed GBA Super Mario World and GBA Super Mario Bros. 3

 

[EHKOS]

I juuuuust bought Fighting Force for the PS1 on the PStore. I played the shit out of the demo when I was five. Still remembered there was a rocket launcher in the trunk of the first car.

 

[IndianaJonny]

Mircoprose's "Fields of Glory" (1993) - think Cossacks before Cossacks


SSI's Steel Panthers 3- Brigade Command [//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steel_Panthers] (1997)- arguably the best of the Steel Panthers games.

 

[DrunkOnEstus]

I actually just fired up the N64, and I've been going through Banjo-Kazooie and the Legend of Zelda games

Ahh, to be ninja'd. Yeah I also hooked up the N64, and I discovered that as an adult Conker's Bad Fur Day is not at all as fun as I remembered it being. So that made me re-re-^9 play Banjo and Tooie, I'd like Threeie to surprise us with its very existence more than ever now.

 

[Kotaro]

I grabbed Kirby's Dream Collection recently, and I've been playing the games on there (in order). I'm up to Dream Land 2 right now.

Also, lots of Tyrian 2000.

 

[Powereaver]

Im currently playing Majoras Mask and Paper Mario from the old N64 days.. then im also playing Dark Cloud 2/Dark Chronicle, Odin Sphere and Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne on the ps2..ive been really trying to get into the retro gaming again lately.. got a stack of old games in my cupboard piled up.

 

[The Floating Nose]

Im currently re-re-re-replaying Resident Evil 2 (preparing for RE6). God, this game is so fucking awesome. The perfect follow-up to the first one . I mean, shit is F.U.C.K.E.D. in this game. The puzzles are still fun. The way that the 2 discs are 2 different scenarios really cool. Yeah, the dialogue and voice acting is not very good but the game overall is so fun it's just a minor complain.
