RollerCoaster Tycoon (1999) by Chris Sawyer. Best game ever.

Now there's a new rewrite by the open source community called OpenRCT2. Highly suggested.

The oldest game I've played in the past year is the original Toejam & Earl for Genesis, the gameplay and soundtrack still hold up surprisingly well

Age of Empires 2

Escape Velocity

Another World, my fav!! 🥰🥰🥰 the friendship, the bond... plus imma physicist 🤭🤭🤭

Sid Meier's Colonization. It seems every few years I always go back to it.

Also, honorable mention for Sonic 3 & Knuckles.

Both from 1994. Yeah, I'm old.

Arx Fatalis has such an unmatched atmosphere and vibe i just love walking around hearing the woosh of the wind through the caves.

Currently replaying A Link to the Past (1991). It's not even that old.

On the regular I still fire up Zork 1-3, Ultima 4, StarTropics, OG Metroid, and Maniac Mansion.

Super Mario World every year or two. The soundtrack alone cheers me right up.

Would Tetris count if its always whatever new Tetris Ultimate Reloaded DX etc etc edition? I feel like it shouldn't but its basically the same game just polished up.

These.

Metal Gear (Solid) series, Legacy of Kain series.

Also Spider-Man: Web of Shadows, and Sacred (1&2).

I revisit all these on a rotating basis from time to time.

Warcraft 3 custom maps still drag me back sometimes.

Civ V

Occasionally I fire up Civilization. The first one. I've also enjoyed Imperialism 2. Star Wars Rebellion, X-com (the original). Jagged Alliance 2.

All of those are from the 90s.

Pokemon Crystal

I believe the Pac Man cartridge for my NES is probably the oldest video game I still pick up regularly.

Every so often I'll have another run at the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy text adventure from 1984.

You wake up. The room is spinning very gently round your head. Or at least it would be if you could see it which you can't.

It is pitch black.

Tetris, the original GameBoy cart.

Rise of Nations: Gold Edition (2003).

The controls are ancient, but the gameplay and music still holds up.

Master of Orion (1993)

Well, I don't segment my backlog for years, so I wouldn't know which is the oldest one, but the one I plan to play next is Fzero for the SNES which was released in 1991.

Knights and merchants

Don't really want to check release dates. I still play some things from c64, and Amiga... That's probably the oldest games I play. Like Bubble Bobble, IK, Giana Sisters. EoTB and so forth...

breakout. I think it's the oldest 'playable' game. It feel ahead of it's time for the late 70's

Factorio 2016

Super mario 64, the acrobatics is so fun

Shadow President (1993)
