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!

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

Factorio 2016

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.

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

Carmaggedon(1997), via a reverse engineered dethrace

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

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

These.

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.

I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream
Doom II
Super Mario Bros.
Metal Slug

Tetris, the original GameBoy cart.

Just booted back up chrono trigger

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.

Super mario 64, the acrobatics is so fun

Wing Commander on the ol' Dosbox.

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.

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

Half life and Unreal Tournament

I go back to play some nethack pretty regularly.

Streets of Rage 1&2

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

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

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)

Chess. It's hundreds of years old ey haha

Playing regularly? Minecraft.

There are a few games I revisit as my kid grows up and gets to experience them for the first time, but Minecraft keeps coming back.
