What's the oldest game you still play today?

Ripred

Hah, seems I will place second on the list as far as chronological order of release date goes (after Pong).

Few days ago I just finished the very 1st Tomb Raider game (1996).

Actually after giving a 2013 version a shot I thought it's atrocious I still haven't played these games through so I bought all but the latest one on Steam on sale (cheap as heck) and am going through the whole series to create my own opinion on it.

Before that I only had a brief experience with Tomb Raider 2 years ago - you know, the one where you close a butler in the freezer :D.

Apart from that I also get back to HoMM 3 and Starcraft from time to time. Actually this thread just gave me an idea to introduce my kid to HoMM 3 and play a session with him :D.

Battle Realms, got addicted to it almost 20 years ago. Bought it on GOG few years ago, been playing from times to times. Thinking about getting the Zen edition on Steam for multiplayer. 

As far as i know, battle realms still has quite big following and competitive scene. Good shit homes.

Ironic this post is on top of the list given I'm here to ask for advice on getting old games Like Mercenaries 2: World in Flames and the KOTOR's to work because they crash on high refresh rate monitors, And said rate not being adjustable (Thanks Dell >_>)

 

Well of the oldest games I still play Morrowind comes to mind. Just did a play though not too long ago. Also on the Emu side I've played PS2 games like Dark Cloud and the Armored Core line recently too. Oh yea also can't forget the N64 Ocarina of Time xD

Hey, why are guys with less than those sexy 16C/32T + RTX 3090 posting your old games here? This is for those with that spec'ed rigs only!😜😅

 

Well, if everyone's 'cheating', I'll do so too!😉😁  Oldest game I have in my rig, and play from time to time is Enclave (released in 2002), even runs nicely at 3840x1080 (how does such an old game support that format/aspect ratio?) with everything maxed out.

Emulated game: Dragon Warrior (NES 1989 I think)

PC: Colonization (1994)

 

More recent, yet old: Minecraft (been playing since it's early days - in early 2010 I think, either Indev or Infdev version) - made my oldest son an addict - sorry son. 😉

I was gonna include the oldest game I play, but seeing that this is for 16C/32T + RTX 3090 systems, and my having only a 12C/24T + RX 6900 XT, I guess I don't qualify.😜😁

I definitely don't with my peasant rig. My poor 1080 is a dinosaur 😅

Here's a screenshot Enclave, much reduced in size of course, I find it amazing that such an old game as this scales nicely @ 3840x1080. UT3 scales badly, it looks like a regular 1920x1080 image stretched to fit 3840x1080, I play it at 1080P, meaning I'd have black columns on left and right sides, works well so I can't complain.

The oldest game I play to this very day has to go to Command and Conquer Red Alert 2 from 2000.

 

Growing up in the mountains in the middle of nowhere, I played a LOT of games from the late 90s and early 2000s... but then I got cable and a Steam account lol
