What's the oldest game you still play?

- Start date
I think the latter is exactly why the Dark Souls games are popular: you can't grind and button-mash your way to victory in those. You actually have to practice and learn not just how to control your character, but how enemies behave and how to attack their weaknesses at the right moment.
Dark Souls games are awesome. The one old school thing I wish they hadn't kept was no spawn point directly before bosses.
Old-Schooling it with the original Shadow Warrior. I was always curious about this one back in the day but never got around to playing it. Got the Classic Complete Edition on GOG for free awhile back, so I decided to check it out. Finished the main campaign and found the level design to be a bit of a mixed bag. I found that none of the levels really stood out much and some were overly complicated and were more on the underwhelming side. Currently playing through the Wanton Destruction add-on and finding the level design to be much more creative.
I've played the remake, up until the first boss anyway. It's definitely a colourful game, but part of me still prefers the original.

Just going through some GOG games, Lands of lore, oh the joys of moving sideways facing the walls looking for that small button that has been holding you back,for the last 40 min's, and oh thejoyous sound effects of being constantly poisoned, that don't get old after 10 min's. lol
^^^They call them Snickers now. 
I currently playing the saboteur(2009),haven't play it in awhile
The very first Deus Ex.... You just love this game when it starts and it sucks you in even if the graphics are a but sucky compared to today. I love it.
Alpha Protocol once you get past that stupid computer minigame. Terrible game design IMHO but fun fun fun

Streets & Rage and Sonic 1 & 2.
I grew up with the Mega Drive/Genesis and they were the first games I remember playing on this system as a kid so I come back now and again to play them. Streets of Rage in particular is one of my favourite games of all time (hate the sequels though).

If Atari 2600 emulation counts, I'd have to say Stella.
If it doesn't count, but computerized versions of really old games do: Solitaire and Mah-jongg.
I guess I don't qualify as a "gamer", amirite?
