Just wondering if you could give me a list of old games that you enjoyed / are still enjoying? For the purposes of classifying what's old, anything more than a year old will do.

Also, any genre or platform is fine.

My list:

- Street Fighter Alpha / Zero 2
- StarCraft
- X-COM: UFO Defense
- Sacred
- Titan Quest
- Max Payne
- Guild Wars

Too many to list but here are a few.

GI Joe the Atlantis Factor
Super Mario Brothers
Final Fantasy 8
Final Fantasy 10.
I'll list more later.

Tetris.

Deus Ex

Deus Ex: Invisible War

Max Payne

The Fall of Max Payne

Syberia

Syberia II

Quake III

Unreal Tournament 2004

Golden Sun

All I can think of right now...

I've enjoyed almost every single game in my PS1,PS2,SNES,NES,Genesis,Gameboy,GBA,N64,and Gamecube collections.

Megaman 3!! Aw man, I love that game. Spark man, ftw. Mechwarrior 2 and MW2: Mercenaries were fantastic, as well.

Agreed, Tetris. Also, I was playing Zelda 2: Adventure of Link a while ago too.
And has anyone heard of "The Lost Vikings"? It's an old SNES game where you control three vikings through a puzzle-like area and you have to get them all to the end, and each one has unique abilities. It was made by Silicon & Synapse--now known as Blizzard Entertainment.

Super Street Fighter 2/turbo
Steet Fighter Zero/2 (Alpha/2)
Street Fighter 3 New Generation/Double Impact (/Second Impact)
Power Stone
Marvel Super Heroes VS Street Fighter
X-Men VS Street Fighter
Marvel VS Capcom 1/2
Capcom VS SNK Millennium Fight 2000 /2 EO
Dark Stalkers 3
Soul Caliber

GRIM FANDANGO!!!

Blackthorn. In fact, I'm currently playing that on my DS

I love old school. I just ran out of emulator time on it though.

I really loved the Mario games <33

Dark Cloud 2 was a good game ^^ Never played the first one, though O.O

What genre are you mostly into?

Sure, I could name a number of LucasArts games, as I usually would, but at this point, it's expected.

How's this for a change of pace?

I mainly play older games, not only because my computer can't run new games but because there isn't much innovativeness in the game industry and hasn't been for some time. Great graphics-cool, realistic game physics-cool, but what happened to quality story and game-play?


PC:

Grim Fandango
Psychonauts
Thief: The Dark Project (or Thief Gold)
Thief 2: The Metal Age
Age of Empires 2 and expansion
Deus Ex
Medieval: Total War
No One Lives Forever 2
Giants: Citizen Kabuto
Driver
Impossible Creatures
Worms series

N64:
Perfect Dark
Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Mario Kart 64
Super Smash Bros

When I was a kid, there was this one Japanese arcade game I played. All the characters were chibis and you played as an Ultraman Character. What I'd do to play that game again.

If I had to list everything I've enjoyed that's older than a year, that would be a long list. I don't consider anything under at least say 3-5 years old...

While I like innovation as much as the next guy, I'd rather game developers focus on what actually works.
I suppose story is debatable but I haven't found gameplay to have decreased in quality.

Black Thorn is available on the DS? o.o I gotta get me that then. I haven't even heard of that game in ages.

SNES:

LoZ: A Link to the Past (Used to do speed run competitions with my friend)
Chrono Trigger (Haven't gotten all the way through yet. The music is awesome)
Earthbound (Maxed out everybodies levels once)

N64:

Super Smash Bros (literally put over 150 hours into that game)
LoZ: Ocarina of Time (completed it half a dozen times)

Gameboy:

Pokemon Blue (yes, I was into pokemon once. It sucked over 100 hours of my life away....twice. Getting an entire team to level 100 takes a looooong time.)

There's too many to list. I love a lot of Saturn, Dreamcast, PSX and PS2 games.

I'll just list some:

Sakura Taisen series
Princess Crown
Metal Gear Solid 1-3 and other older games made by Hideo Kojima.
Final Fantasy Tactics
Final Fantasy X
Final Fantasy V
Parasite Eve series
Shenmue I and II
Resident Evil series
Silent Hill series
MS Gundam games (okay I know! a lot of people don't think much of Gundam games)
Super Robot Taisen series

There's TONS of old games I enjoy, but at the moment I can't remember them all.
Soo here's a list of some I do remember:

All the Tekkens
PaRappa the Rapper
Zombies ate our Neighbors
Clay fighter 1 and 2

And of COURSE Kingdom Hearts ^^

I'm kinda surprised no one's mentioned the original Ninja Gaiden series for the NES yet. I also enjoy the Earthworm Jim games, Vectorman and Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars just to name a few.

Super Metroid
Diablo II
The Legend of Zelda A Link to the Past and Ocarina of Time
Super Mario Bros. 1, 2, 3, World and 64

Dang, some of you guys have FFX and even MGS3 listed as old games. Then again, FFX is what, 7+ years old now? And I think MGS3 looks awesome even compared to the latest releases- it defiantly holds it's own... Even Kingdom Hearts is getting up there in age and I even remember the commercials for it. I can't even believe Halo came out in 2001.

Just... wow.

I've been getting into a lot of old school games lately.
Super Metroid
Super Mario World
Super Mario Kart
Chrono Trigger <3
Link to the Past
And there are a whole bunch of other ones I haven't started yet, XD.

Yeah, it's weird how quickly things get old, especially when we remember when they were new.

Instead of listing the classics that everyone's played and enjoyed, I'll list some of what seem to be more obscure games:

NES:
Bump and Jump
The Bard's Tale

PC:
Betrayal at Krondor
Earth Siege II
Escape from Monkey Island

Sega Genesis:
Earl and Toe Jam
Zero Wing

Not that I don't enjoy the classics, it's just that the rest of the games seem to get too much spotlight. I, for one, thoroughly enjoyed Chrono Trigger, and plan on buying the DS remake as soon as it's available. ^_^

Hmm....some recent older one's I've been playing an ejoyed are.....

Gameboy:
Tetris
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening
X (Ekkusu)

Super Nintendo:
Star Fox

Nintendo:
Gumshoe
Wild Gunman

I'll always enjoy th classic Genesis Sonic series, no matter how old I get.

Lets see...

If you think N64 is old, there are quite a few N64 games I'm enjoying right now:
Sin and Punishment
Mario Golf
Mario Tennis
Pokemon Snap

Game Boy Color:
Metal Gear Solid (it's actually quite good on the GBC)
Kirbys Dream Land 1 and 2

SNES:
The titles on here are so obscure you probably never heard of them.

Motoko Chan no Wonder Kitchen (a fun, yet extremely short cooking game that promotes Japanese mayonnaise laden with MSG)
EarthBound (actually not that obscure)
Samurai Spirits (not that well known)
Kirbys Dream Land 3 (totally underrated)
and more...
Kirby Super Star
Contra 3: The Alien Wars
This is just a short list. I really enjoy old games. X3
