RetroGaming

Well I just finished again as of old game Pokémon Yellow, so that should counts, a game that I actively play almost daily is Jump Ultimate Stars for DS though.

God bless custom servers.

Couple of oldies I fire up regularly: Tetris (Gameboy, 1989); Head Over Heels (Spectrum, 1987); Bruce Lee (C64, Atari, 1984)

Monkey Island is probably next to Indiana Jones Fate of Atlantis one of those really old games that I still play from time to time. One of the first games I played and one of those games where it doesn’t matter that graphics got better or gameplay was made more defined (eg old Sim City is not as much fun as even the next one later Sim City 2000, or old Summer Games/winter Games is sure not that much fun anymore for me).

Also those old Adventure games work super fine in ScummVM :D

Isometric games are my jam. But the oldest might be Transport tycoon (1994) that I still enjoy even today

original gameboy tetris and unreal tournament 2004

I still love everything I played from the N64 era, and the old tycoon games (RCT2/OpenRCT) are amazing. Oldest recent fun was finding some great sesame street games I played as a kid to share w/ my son who is just learning letters and counting. Ernie's Big Splash (1986) and Astro Grover (1984). Neither would really hold my attention today as an adult though.

I do still fire up the old 8-bit and 16-bit games a lot, but the oldest in regular rotation would have to be the 1982 Atari 2600 Fishing Derby I still bust out once or twice a month when I need to clear my head.

It was great when I was little, and nowadays the gameplay actually still holds up for me while also triggering warm nostalgic thoughts about that time in my life.
