    Mine would be 'Chaos' on the Sinclair Spectrum, although I do still occasionally dip into Manic Miner and Jet Set Willy.

    I don't really have a particular old game that I play with any regularity, it's usually a very short, one-and-done kind of affair when I return to older games

    planning to return to Diablo II once more with my buddy, it's been a while :techman:

    Regularly, possibly KOTOR or one of the Jedi Knight games.

    The oldest recently played was Jet Set Willy.

    The furthest I'll go back is the NES era, so that means Super Mario Bros (1985). The games prior to that are too simplistic to be enjoyable today.

    I don't play older games now, but I have considered buying a Sega Genesis again just so I could play Echoes from the Past, that TNG game. I wore that cartridge out when I was a kid.

    I still play some Atari and NES games through ROM/Emulator but I'm not sure that counts. And I play the Halo: Master Chief Collection which has all the Halo games on it, but that's on XBOX 1 and I usually play the remastered versions. The oldest game I actually still play on it's original console is NHL 2K6 on XBOX.

    I have older games/consoles but I don't really play them anymore. I have an N64, Genesis and Atari 2600 but they're not hooked up. I don't have an NES anymore and I only still own 1 NES game (Zelda) I traded all the others in to FuncoLand back in the day when I got my Genesis so I could get more Sega games.

    Hmm... I still play my NES and Super NES very regularly... but, if we go by the oldest game... it'd probably have to be Super Mario Bros. 2. Possibly Slalom. I think Slalom may have come out first

    I play a little Slalom too, but I have it on XBOX 1 because it's part of that Rare Replay compilation that came packaged with it. And yes it came out before SMB2. Love the name by the way, that's probably my favorite of the Jeopardy sketches. Norm's Burt Reynolds impression was hilarious.

    Chess. But if you mean on the computer, probably either Galaga or Moon Cresta would be the oldest I fire up with any regularity.

    I recently purchased an HD upgrade of Heroes of Might & Magic III on Steam for $3.99 and have been playing that again. Good times. I will still play Civ III and Rainbow Six occasionally too.

    [chomping on gum] "Yeah that's right! Turd Ferguson! Funny name!" [/chomping on gum] :lol:

    I picked up the Rare Replay and checked out Slalom, but I must say, I prefer the NES version. The NES d-pad allows you to make slight course adjustments, while even the slightest tap of the Xbox One d-pad sent me careening violently from one side of the screen to the other.

    As a rule, I really like those Amiga games from the nineties. Plus they remind me of a simpler time.
