Shadow President (1993)

Doom. Gothic.

And Warsim is not old but it could very well be. And it's great.

Sonic 1 for the Sega Genesis.

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

Super Mario bros 1 & 3. I still have them working on my old Wii, but I’ve been planning on a retro pi setup for ages.

My OG NES stopped working a decade ago.

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.

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

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

Which is older, Tetris, or Chess? /s

Chess. It's hundreds of years old ey haha

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...

OpenTTD (2004), which traces its roots to Chris Sawyer's Transport Tycoon and Transport Tycoon Deluxe (1994)

And there's a community of players who have modded the everloving fuck out of the game and the engine itself, one of these patch packs is OpenTTD JGR and we play it like it's a model railway simulator

The oldest I can go reliably is the late 80’s and early 90’s.

DuckTales NES, Sonic the Hedgehog Genesis, Puzzle Bobble.

Once we start getting into the mid 90*s games start to get good.

Chrono Trigger, Doom, Rayman, DK Country

Master of Orion (1993)

The first Sonic the Hedgehog for the Mega Drive. I play all 3 (4?) of the original Sonic games, but that's the oldest though.

I play through my Mega Drive games occasionally. Alex Kidd is probably older... Wonder Boy is great, too!

Earthbound

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

Warcraft 3 custom maps still drag me back sometimes.

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.

I replayed Vampire: The Masquerade — Bloodlines (2004) recently

Factorio 2016

Knights and merchants

Carmaggedon(1997), via a reverse engineered dethrace

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

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

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.
