Modded skyrim is dangerous
Shadow President (1993)
Sonic 1 for the Sega Genesis.
Another World, my fav!! 🥰🥰🥰 the friendship, the bond… plus imma physicist 🤭🤭🤭
Sid Meier’s Colonization. It seems every few years I always go back to it.
Also, honorable mention for Sonic 3 & Knuckles.
Both from 1994. Yeah, I’m old.
Which is older, Tetris, or Chess? /s
tEcHnIcAlLy the first commercially available chess video game was released in 1977 according to google
Don’t really want to check release dates. I still play some things from c64, and Amiga… That’s probably the oldest games I play. Like Bubble Bobble, IK, Giana Sisters. EoTB and so forth…
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
If I had a nickel for every time I started chrono trigger with the intent to finish it, I would have a bunch of nickels. I think the farthest I’ve ever gotten was the future apocalypse era. Love the music in the game.
OpenTTD (2004), which traces its roots to Chris Sawyer’s Transport Tycoon and Transport Tycoon Deluxe (1994)
And there’s a community of players who have modded the everloving fuck out of the game and the engine itself, one of these patch packs is OpenTTD JGR and we play it like it’s a model railway simulator
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!
Earthbound
Master of Orion (1993)
On the regular I still fire up Zork 1-3, Ultima 4, StarTropics, OG Metroid, and Maniac Mansion.
Knights and merchants
breakout. I think it’s the oldest ‘playable’ game. It feel ahead of it’s time for the late 70’s
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.
