Well, keep an eye on the battery. We lost our first Amiga (500+ in our case) because of it leaking
Fortunately, we were able to get a replacement.
I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for the tip.
What's the oldest game you still play?
- Thread starter retroenzo
- Start date

I visted a pawn shop a couple of days ago just to look around, They had a few Psp's they were selling for 25 bucks, So I bought one and a few UMD Movies and a game for .99 cents each. I used to have a PSP in 2007, sold it 5-6 years ago during leaner times. I forgot how much fun Ridge Racer was on that tiny thing. I'll probably rebuy a few games I used to love on it because they seem cheap now. I know the online aspect of it is dead but it was a pretty fun little system, it's hard to believe how state of the art that thing used to seem just a handful of years ago....
I still play Bricks Breaking. That's a really fun game in spite of being one of the oldest.
I've been meaning to go back and player the original Tomb Raider.
I tried Lemmings recently. Loved it as a kid, but couldn't get used to playing it on an HD laptop lol.

In the mid 90s I played a game called VGA Planets (yes, VGA for the old style monitors). It was a computer based game you could play by email or over BBS hosted servers.
Basically it was a space strategy game where you would colonize planets, build fleets and take out your neighbors.
Very addicting and I played it for years. Eventually, the people I played it with got busy to I stopped. B
But a few years ago, some enthusiasts programmed an online version of the game called Planets.nu which kept the same great strategy and economics options while updating the interface and graphics for today's computers.
So I continue to play it to this day.
It is very different as the game is turn based, not real time.

There are two games from the 90s that I still play once in a great while: Genesia and Settlers, the first one is turn based and the second real time. They're both about building colonies and trying to get powerful armies in order to eventually attack and conquer all other territories.
Regularly? Mario Kart: Double Dash, the best in the series.
Occasionally I'll take a trip down memory lane and play the odd SNES or N64 game, but I hesitate to call it 'playing.'
On the PC side, I've been wanting to give Warcraft II a whirl for some time, just...y'know..haven't.

I reinstall the Baldur's Gates every couple of years to play through new mods. The BGs still have an incredibly active modding community that radically changes and updates the games. It's worth another playthru just for the mods.
The community even has an autoinstaller for the thousands of mods for these games at shsforums.com It's funny because it takes ten minutes to reinstall these games on a modern computer and 2 days to auto download and install all of the mods.

The oldest game I still play is Stellar 7. Even now, after 23 years, I still love this game.
Does solitaire count?
Golden Tee Golf
On those rare occasions I get the house to myself I quite enjoy breaking out my SNES and partying like it's 1993. I've also been known to fire up my Dragon 32 emulator and play some very early 80s games. Many of them are quite bad but it's still a great experience.
depends on which version you're playing
I have Jet Set Willy on an Amstrad emulator...... Fun times. Used to play that and Fruity Frank on an Amstrad 664 with colour monitor.
This is my jam......
But that bloody strawberry always got me and ruined high scores.
When I go to arcades always get Pac Man and Asteroids in.

Yeah, any time I find an old arcade machine, and it's Pac Man, I *have* to play.
New games have fantastic storytelling and cinematography. They ain't gotz the adrenalines.
Two different approaches to gaming. One, winning a series of easy battles against overmatched enemies to gradually increase your statistics while getting to know lots of interesting, well developed characters over a long cinematic arc. The other, being thrown immediately into a hellscape flooded with tiny deathtraps and little maneuvering room and taking pride in every second you aren't horribly murdered.
