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

I replayed Vampire: The Masquerade β€” Bloodlines (2004) recently

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.

Warcraft 3 custom maps still drag me back sometimes.

[–] aeternum@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

I play dungeon keeper a bit. It was released in I think 1994 or 1995

Edit: I also play insaniquarium sometimes too. That shit was from the 2000s I believe

Solitaire and Minesweeper. Literally the best games for when I just want to play something that doesn't require a lot of attention (no story lines, long load times, or remembering what I was doing the last time I played). Just enough to focus my attention while waiting around, but able to close out when whatever I was waiting on is ready. Just really calming for the most part.

[–] worhui@lemmy.world 6 points 5 hours ago

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

Bejeweled 3 zen mode on my Xbox 360 till my Xbox one X

[–] Pulptastic@midwest.social 4 points 6 hours ago

I still play a phone sudoku game from 2009. I would still play StarCraft and Warcraft 2 if I had hardware capable.

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 5 points 6 hours ago

Wing Commander on the ol' Dosbox.

Just booted back up chrono trigger

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

I've been playing jet moto with my kid. Just like I did with my dad, back in 1996.

[–] Bakkoda@lemmy.world 6 points 7 hours ago

I may or may not still have a pvpgn vm and a Windows xp vm with a lot of baal rush setups set to run.

I'll play D2 till I die.

The oldest single player game I keep going back to is Super Mario World on the SNES, Copyright 1990.

I will occasionally play games older than that, but the SNES is where my actual nostalgia begins.

Does DE count?

It's crazy that new expansions are still dropping, and the ranked community is thriving.

[–] Vupware@lemmy.zip 4 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Isn’t that the wolololo game?

Aye! Wololo

[–] kossa@feddit.org 1 points 1 hour ago

Technically No 1 is the Wololo game. Monks don't Wololo in part 2.

[–] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca 5 points 9 hours ago

I found an abandonware do of Risk 2 from 2000. Run great and is just as much fun as when I was a kid. A friend and I are going to try the network interface to play against each other.

[–] yermaw@sh.itjust.works 13 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (2 children)

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.

[–] Jessvj93@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

Super Mario World and Shadow of the Colossus are my timeless games! I will replay them every few years.

[–] Sir_Kevin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 10 hours ago

Super Mario World is peak Nintendo. I still come back to it on occasion just to remember what games were like when things didn't seem so corporate.

[–] jacksilver@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Robotron 2084 - there is a place by me that still has the arcade cabinet.

Awesome game. One of the first with synthesized speech!

Sometimes I'll pop open Mega Man 1 when my blood pressure is too high to focus on anything. I plan to no-hit it one day (without major glitches)

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 4 points 10 hours ago

Streets of Rage 1&2

[–] sanguinepar@lemmy.world 14 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (1 children)

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.

Heroes of Might and Magic III

Worms Armageddon

Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2

[–] SleepyBear@lemmy.world 4 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Garrys Mod. You'd actually be impressed how many people still play that game for it approaching its 20 year anniversary.

[–] My_IFAKs___gone@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

You can play Garrys Mod? I thought it was mostly just a sandbox for building things or making machinima videos. I have it but have opened it maybe twice...not much time for gaming these days and Black Mesa and Outer Wilds have been consuming all my stolen gaming time.

[–] djsoren19@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

I dunno if it really counts, because these days I play Diablo 2 Resurrected instead of the real OG, but god I still love Diablo 2. I was playing a Druid Maul build a little bit just last weekend in anticipation of Path of Exile 2 adding animal transformations. It's just one of those classic Blizzard titles I go back to at least once every year, alongside Warcraft 3 and Starcraft. They're like the triumvirate of my childhood nostalgia.

Wish the company wasn't so awful.
