Oldest game that you played recently.

I recently played the original Alone in the Dark, which came out in 1992. I can see why it's the grandfather of the Survival Horror genre (AKA my favorite genre). I was also pleasantly surprised; for 1992, the voice acting for most characters (Carnby in particular) was fairly decent, a trait that is hardly even seen in old games or horror games. I liked the Lovecraftian horror, and the gameplay was actually bearable, another thing horror games and old games tend to get wrong. It was definitely ahead of it's time. The sequels were fun, but not as good, I haven't played "The New Nightmare", and I'm playing the new one as of right now. It's... dissapointing to say the least. The worst thing about it is that it's so close to being amazing, but every time it gets near greatness it is quickly pulled away.

Zeld: oot and Goldeneye back on the N64.

 

[SaetonChapelle]

Legend of Dragoon. I still play that game all the time~

 

[VoidWanderer]

Pokemon Snap, but this thread reminds me to get Legend of Dragoon which apparently has hit the PSN

 

[s0p0g]

Tetris, the gameboy version
on a grey GB, of course!

Recently as in this month? Final Fantasy III(VI). Needless to say, it's an amazing game and stands up as my favorite RPG of all time still.

Recently as in this week? Dark Cloud for PS2. One of my favorite PS2 titles. Unfortunately, I am having difficulty locating my copy of the sequel (one of my favorite RPGs of all time, after FFIII of course). I pray that I didn't actually lose it.

[MuttyGrims1321]

Played Golden Axe 1 and 2 last week. Sweet sweet memories.

 

[katsumoto03]

I was just playing the original Sim City.

 

[cennsor]

i've had a brief stint with age of mythology (2002) just a couple of weeks ago.

i guess i did it partly to get ready to come back to age of empires online (which i only recently restarted playing), partly just out of sheer nostalgia.

and yes, it still is a great game.

 

[ThePenguinKnight]

League Of Legends, It's just a ripoff of DoTa so it kinda counts.

 

[Midnight Voyager]

Thief Gold! Just re-finished it.

 

[iLazy]

007 Goldeneye on the nintendo 64 with some buds. It was fun.

 

[unstabLized]

Ummm... Need for Speed Underground. Shut up it's old and it was part of my childhood

 

[5-0]

Half-Life, although it's technically the Source version. Other than that, I was playing a recently released mod for Deus Ex a few months ago.

 

[JasonKaotic]

Actually, I recently went down memory lane and re-played the first game I ever played, Alien Trilogy on PS1. Released in 1995, which is actually also the year I was born.
I didn't realise at the time though that it's actually mildly scary.

Edit: Holy shit. Also turns out Probe (the developer that made it) was based in Cheltenham, which is the town I was born in and is only about 10 minutes away from where I live. WHAT THE HELL MAN?

 

[Lugbzurg]

I just reached the end of Donkey Kong 64, the other day. I've also been replaying bits of Conker's Bad Fur Day recently. Been playing Doom a lot, too. It's just so addicting, and totally holds up today!

 

[Zenoss]

just recently ran through Vampire: The Masquerade ? Bloodlines again. 2004, so not super old, but still an incredible game.

 

[Moriim]

Baldur's Gate. I was a toddler when that game released, so I hadn't played it up until this point. I've been hearing amazing things about it since I discovered internet gaming, so when my mom and I found a box of my dad's old games in the garage while we were cleaning, I had to pull out this gem. There's a bunch of good'uns in there, like System Shock 1/2, the original Deus Ex, Tomb Raider 1/2, X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter, Dungeon Keeper (I actually played this one before), Myst, Rune, and a whole boxload of others.

Back to BG1, I'm getting my ass handed to me and I'm loving it. Switching out discs is a novel experience for me, "Oh you want to enter this zone? Pull out your disc sleeve for the 18th time today."

"Raptor: Call Of The Shadows" came out in 1994, and still looks excellent and plays better.
