I play arena every day. It has a terrible storyline, but it's beast to play.

Ok, time to make all of you feel young! I still have (and still play) Dungeon Hack! Can't remember the exact date it came out but was like '85-'86. No graphics, DOS text based, no two levels ever the same, hard as hell to get past level 5 or 6! I still have a machine running WIN98+DOS (total of 9 PCs + 1 MAC). Also have castle of the winds from '86 or so. BTW, I'm a true "gamer". 30 PS1 games, 145 x-box games, 45 GBC games, 300+ PC games, and just started on PS2 games at 22 games!

Morrowind is STILL the best game I've ever played!

Two versions on pc and two on x-box!

Phantasmagoria and the 7th Guest - I used to prefer puzzle games. I remember I paid 80 bucks for Phantasmagoria in 1995.

oldest game i own is berserk on the atari 2600, but the oldest game i still play probably would be final fantasy 7.

Believe it or not, Morrowind is the first videogame that I played. So I didn't know there were games before 2000 (or 2002 to be precise).

I play FF1 on a regular basis...

I had to drill my NES cartridge open and replace the batteries though.

Quake 3 all the way. But my oldest that I still play is probably FF8. Wait, was FF8 out before quake 3 arena?

Via the site of the latest one (http://www.2kgames.com/railroads/railroads.html -look at the botom of the page for the link to origional- simply titled 'railroads' and vastly inferior to its predecesors to my mind - Tycoon 2 would be my favorite).

Railroad Tycoon? Oh, wait, that's Roller Coaster Tycoon. Didn't think it was that old. In terms of PC, I have a bunch of 90's games like Amazon Trail/ Oregon Trail 1, and a bunch of those Learning Company games from when I/my brothers were little. The old ones, that is, like Gizmos and Gadgets and Ancient Empires. Then there's newer oldies, like Rogue Squadron 1. and Age of Empires 1, and (stretching it) Sims 1. Oh, there was Myst, awesome game, 1993.

I had a Gameboy B&W, for which I had Tetris. 1989, so that's maybe my oldest game.

Other than ROMs of course.

Oh, and there's was Number Crunchers. Sometime in the 80s.

That's all I can think of off the top of my head.

jonarus_drakus · Post by **jonarus_drakus** » Sat Sep 19, 2009 2:52 am

Railroad and Rollercoaster tycoon are not the same game at all!

The Origional Railroad Tycoon is like early '90s (not sure exactly), but deffinitely VERY old (I wouldn't be suprised it was of legal drinking age in Australia, 18 years).

FelixAmherst · Post by **FelixAmherst** » Sat Sep 19, 2009 3:38 pm

I had totally forgotten about Wolfenstein 3D... Mecha-Hitler was and still is the best game villain ever.

Katze · Post by **Katze** » Sat Sep 19, 2009 3:48 pm

Rollercoaster Tycoon and Transport Tycoon Deluxe are real favourites of mine. I remember getting them in a pack for christmas along with Railroad Tycoon II, but I never got into that last one at all for some reason.

Post by **Haplo** » Sat Sep 19, 2009 4:18 pm

Roller Coaster Tycoon does hold a special place in my heart.

Bloodthirsty Crustacean · Sat Sep 19, 2009 9:38 pm

OMG RollerCoaster Tycoon.

That probably actually was the first video-game I ever played... Beaut.

Four Greyhounds · Post by **Four Greyhounds** » Sun Sep 20, 2009 12:38 am

i forgot all about roller coaster tycoon...that has to be one of the greatest games ever!

gro-Dhal · Post by **gro-Dhal** » Sun Sep 20, 2009 12:01 pm

I was more of a Theme Park person. First game I ever played though...hmmm... maybe Commander Keen. First Windows 3.1 game I played was SimCity.

osiris · Post by **osiris** » Sun Sep 20, 2009 12:25 pm

SimCity? Indeed, I was thinking about asking you guys to talk about it.

Never played, but I know it's very good.

jonarus_drakus · Post by **jonarus_drakus** » Mon Sep 21, 2009 4:14 pm

Ah! The origional SimCity, i totaly forgot about that. I loved that one. "This is sim-copter one, repoting heavy traffic"... Ahhhh, memories...

gro-Dhal · Post by **gro-Dhal** » Mon Sep 21, 2009 5:27 pm

They had an expansion set that let you build a moon city, a medieval city etc.

I think the oldest game I still play is Halo Combat Evolved

gro-Dhal · Post by **gro-Dhal** » Sun Oct 18, 2009 10:33 am

Is the Halo franchise considered old now? Good lord.

FelixAmherst · Post by **FelixAmherst** » Sun Oct 18, 2009 3:44 pm

Ahh Halo. How they have ruined you...

Not the oldest game ever though.

Kiteflyer61 · Post by **Kiteflyer61** » Sun Oct 18, 2009 3:55 pm

Halo is just a prettied up Quake which is a prettied up Doom.
I still play all three!
