What is the oldest game you still play & install today?

I never actually played it in its hay-day, but I play Links 2003. I think this is the oldest game I play.

Transport tycoon 1994 and it's rollercoaster counterpart 1999. Better than some top graphical games in some respects. Been playing a lot on my SNES mini and those games are early 90's. Have a good 8 hours on Super Mario world. Think I spent half that on BF1 campaign!

Command & Conquer Renegade

Novalogic Delta Force from 1998 on my Win 7 PC (won't work on my win10 laptop) or Total Air War (F-22 simulator) which was also 1998, and had the absolute best dynamic campaign setup of any flight sim I've ever played and, with a graphics update, would still be spectacular.

Nearly a year and a half later and I'm still playing both games.

TAW has been updated to V2.30 and is free to play. The graphics are still 1998 quality but the gameplay is still THE best dynamic campaign I've played, just beating Falcon 4 for me.

Playing through Final Fantasy 8 as we speak, regularly play through any and all from 1-10.

Heroes of might and magic 2 has been installed pretty much since it was released. There's something I find uniquely soothing about it.

BL2 at the moment. Released 2010 I think.

Still playing Company of Heroes with the Blitzkreig mod.

Released in 2006.

COD2
Tend to go back to it, for old times sake every 12 months :-)

Links 386 Pro ftw

NFSU2 I would say is about the oldest I play which came out in 2004. I still really enjoy it and it's not bad graphically either.

NoobCannon · 7 Apr 2019 at 23:29

Wh 40k dawn of war (not the newest sacrilige)

Double07 · 8 Apr 2019 at 02:43

I know it's not that old but I still play Starcraft 2 on average 40-50 hours a week and it's 9 years old now, and I've played it at the level since 2010.

I still regularly play Pharaoh which is what, 20 years old now.

Champ Manager 01/02 & C&C Red Alert, I haven't found any games that hold my attention span like those have and still do!?!

skyripper · 8 Apr 2019 at 11:16

Still play Sid Meiers Colonization (runs on a DOSBOX) now and again from 1994. The remake in the Civ IV engine isnt as good.
have been known to fire up Laser Squad on an emulator as well to relive my Amiga days..
More often, I still play a lot of Company of Heroes 1 with Blitzkrieg mod against the CPU.

But then I'll also be found playing Sniper Elite IV (which seems to be a unofficial rebirth of the Hidden & Dangerous game), Hitman 2 (2018) and Elite Dangerous.... all of which have their roots way back in gaming history.

Explosivo · 8 Apr 2019 at 11:23

Battlefield 2

Quartz · 8 Apr 2019 at 11:27

I still play the original Far Cry and Command & Conquer 3.

Flubble · 8 Apr 2019 at 11:29

Uplink (2001)

that feeling when you are about to get caught :eek:

Always go back to Total Annihilation and have a few games with the girlfriend. It just offers exactly what we look for in an RTS.

Another vote for TA (Forged Alliance though). It's the perfect RTS!

Loved that game. The multiplayer was great. I'd love to see a modern style version, like Battlefield but with C&C units and buildings.
