What is the oldest game you still play?

For me it's Motorhead , released 7 years ago :eek:

It runs at >350fps with 8x Supersampling AA/16xAF at 1280*1024

I remember being blown away by the graphics in the beginning but now they are just ugly and very little detail, when I look at such a game it makes me think how fast development in the computer industry and videocards has been.

Does 1942 count, even though it was arcade?

I doubt there were any arcades in 1942, I thought they were only invented in the seventies :confused:

Doom (Played in opengl using GZDoom), This game still gets played on a daily basis, it's been my fav game since it came out and I honestly don't think that will ever change.

Thanks for mentioning that, it sounds interesting.

Last evening I had a look at my old CD's and installed Dethkarz and Powerslide again as I wanted to see how they looked and played now as I remember being amazed at the IQ

Both games run >200fps with 8xAA supersampling/16xAF but don't look that good anymore, it's hard to imagine I was blown away running them on a Voodoo3 at 1024*768 without AA/AF :confused:

I think I will install some more oldies tonight, time to look for Quake 1,2 and 3 :cool:

Good one, I still have Rollercoaster tycoon somewhere, I'll try that as well some time.

Virtual Pool Hall (1998?). Didn't like what Celeris did to the VP3 interface even though graphics were a bit nicer, so reverted to this version.

IMO still the best pool/snooker physics engine available, coupled with very fluid cue control - Cueball 1/2 or World Championship Snooker did nothing for me.

I will look for that in the shops, must be cheap now
