What old games can still stand against new titles?

[Dindril]

I'm not looking for responses by fanboys or people who have not played the game since it was released. I want to see answers from people who play all the new games, and have gone back and tried (or retried) older games. (as long as it was released before the 360, it should count, but the older the better)

My answer would have to be Silent Hill (the first one). I don't really know exactly why, but when I played the first silent hill for the first time (Which happened earlier this year) I had more fun then I did with most more recent games (I can't think of any title inparticular, I'm just being vague). Two was also really good, and three was too, but the first one surprised me.

Super Mario

I'd definately say the Monkey Island series and Grim Fandango. I've also heard good things about LOOM, Day of the Tentacle, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis and Full Throttle.

Other than that I'd suggest Mafia, Deus Ex and Max Payne.

I can guarantee that Money Island and Mafia can stand against new games as I replayed them recently.

PacMan, Tetris, original Fallout, and obviously enough the original Duke Nukem.

crash bandicoot, the ones by naughty dog, and the first three spyros

Goldeneye is still fun to play at parties.

Dink Smallwood, ducksducksducksducksducksducksducksducksducksducks...

Crash team racing - the PS1 bonanza which still means on any karting game (mainly mario Kart) i jump off EVERTHING to get a "hangtime Boost".

Morrowind was great too.

Goldeneye is still fun to play at parties.

But only to laugh at how bad it is.

Freedom Fighters. Simple, fun, and actually has some decent friendly AI!

 

[Connosaurus Rex]

My favorite old games are the star wars battlefront 1 and 2 along with many other ps2 games

And, for like the 500th time, Morrowind.

I dug out my Morrowind...and by Odin's beard, I've forgotten just how epic that game is.

What I didn't forget is how to make an uber character. XD

EDIT: I'll pit Contra III, Warcraft II, and Heroes of Might and Magic against just about every game that comes out.

Zork, Knights of the Old Republic, and Super Mario RPG, to name just a few.

original Fallout

I got the original Fallout the same day I got Fallout 3. I tried to play Fallout first but it was waaaay to boring. Maybe I'm to stupid for it.

 

[VincentX3]

Legend of Zelda: Orcania Of Time

Nuff said.

 

[Amnestic]

I'm actually mildly surprised -and pleased- no one mentioned Ocarina of Time.

KotOR, Starcraft (Just visit Korea!), Warcraft 3 multiplayer (DotA <3).

Dammit =_= Someone would post Ocarina of Time while I was writing this. Sod's goddamn law.

 

[Clirck]

Max Payne, Tetris [well it's basically a flash game now], Mafia.

I only disagree with Super Mario, that plummer a**hole has to go.

 

[blackcherry]

Goldeneye, the N64 Zeldas and (this surprised me the most) Body Harvest for the N64. Pokemon still has a place in my heart too, as does the origional Final Fantasy Tactics.

 

[EOT]

Baldur's Gate II is one of the best CRPG's ever made. Still well worth a play through. Bioware at their best.

I've been on an Amiga kick the last couple of days so I'll list some Amiga games I tried that are still good. Dyna Blaster, Gravity Force 2, Micro Machines, Wizkid, Zeewolf.
