Warcraft III

Team Fortress 2, Half Life 2, Portal.

I still whip out megaman X sometimes. My siblings and I play the original crash team racing every other Christmas too.

Commander Keen is my all time favorites.

EVE Online

Does FreeDoom count? It’s as close to the original as I can get anymore.

Empires mod (free on Steam) reminds me of old Battlefield but you also have a comander for each team, so it has some base building aspects. Nice balance and no pay to win or comercial exploits.

Sadly the player count is low but every saturday and sunday servers fill upp.

Nethack maybe? It’s been updated over the years, but it’s still largely the game that released in '87.

I’m also playing Might and Magic 6 [98] right now, and remembering why I liked 7 so much more. Planning a playthrough of World of Xeen [93/94] soon too.

I am realizing my life is not really marked by birthdays, anniversaries, promotions, or any of the normal milestone stuff people list. It is marked by video games.

Thanks for this thread, because it reminded me of one I cannot leave out.

There was a week I spent in a mental hospital with a major anxiety spiral. Pretty much everything felt unmanageable. The one thing I could handle was Pokémon FireRed on a Game Boy Advance.

That was it. That was my anchor.

It was actually written into my chart that I was allowed to plug my charger in at the nurses station while I slept so the GBA would be ready the next day. No arguments. No debates. Just accepted as necessary.

Not my oldest game, see my other replies for that, but it is probably the only one I have mentioned that might have saved my life.

Twisted Metal 2. I still play it on my PS4

I played Super double Dragon for SNES earlier. I also played super Mario Bros 2 for nes this week. Platform games are a great way to pass the time on the go when you have a phone and a Bluetooth controller.

Moon Patrol and Centipede hit the spot every now and then.

Are you suggesting that Skyrim is old? It’s still getting updated, to my great annoyment.

Every now and then I get a bit nostalgic and put on Dragon Warrior or Sword of Vermillion. I have all the older consoles.

Not crazy old but I play Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon on N64 pretty regularly
