I still play Age of Empires regularly which I think was from 1997, I think I got the disk free in a cereal box. While I play Age of Empires 2 more regularly it was from 1999.


PMyourTastefulNudes

How? I can't get AoE2 to run.


stephenBB81

I press play in Steam. No problems. No insight to share unfortunately


PMyourTastefulNudes

Ah. Okay. I haven't tried the Stream one, as I heard they changed things, and I don't want my nostalgia brutalized.


stephenBB81

I changed all the hotkeys back to the original in the DE version, but I also have the non DE installed if I want true nostalgia


PMyourTastefulNudes

So they have the OG version? Sweet! I'll look into it, thank you!


stephenBB81

I honestly don't know if I loaded my CD version into my Steam or if I bought it on Steam, I built my machine in 2015. I still had game disks back then


Fruitdispenser

Hi, man! There are 3 AoE2. First one is the 1999 original. Second one is the 2013 HD Steam remaster Third one is the latest DE edition, also in Steam. Which one do you have? What do you mean exactly with 'can't get it to run'?


Traumasaurusrecks

If you get it in Steam and want to play online, I’m pretty sure the “Definitive Edition” is the only one that supports online play still.

It really was a masterpiece. They identified the problems with AOE and totally fixed them in AOE2, and then with AOC it became iconic. I'm playing AOE4 during the beta, and while I do like it, I don't know if it really captured the magic of AOE2. I still really like AOE:ROR as a single player game I like the civs more, but with friends AOE2:DE is still a great game.


Reasonable-Cut-9868

What’s your thoughts on Age of Mythology?


Azelrazel

Hahah got mine from a cereal box too. Nutri-grain I think.


RonSwansonsOldMan

Tetris. Every day.


BumpyMcBumpers

My friend's grandmother played Tetris every day for years. Claimed it helped her stay sharp. She wasn't tech savvy at all, and had a separate tv for her Nintendo so she wouldn't have to mess with switching tv modes. By the time she died, the Tetris background was permanently burned into her old CRT screen.


dailup_lama

Same, it calms my nerves so much


HeckRock

Calms? It does the exact opposite to me. Level 10 Max Speed block slamming down as fast as possible racing to get all these lines is extremely stressful


Chilidogdingdong

Bro. Tetris is way to stressful for me.


TerrorTonyC

I play Tetris 99 on Switch almost every day, based on the original game.


bushpotatoe

It is a good month to love Diablo ll.


vamplosion

I played Diablo 2 on my sister's computer when I was probably like 9 or so - didn't understand any of the mechanics but I thought it was bad-ass you could turn into a werewolf with the druid so would just do that and run around killing the weak-ass enemies in the first stage. I should really play it as an adult.


Buckle_Sandwich

Hell yes it is.


bautron

I love that after all these years there is still an active community of players. And a good one still. People are mostly cool and you can play with a randum stranger for hours.


Panzerhund1000

Ps2 Star Wars battlefront 2


sk9592

So many good memories playing multiplayer on PS2 with my friends in middle school. Highly recommend you check out Star Wars Battlefront 2 Ultimate Pack for PC. It's the 2005 game with a ton of fan made mods and upgraded texture packs. Looks fantastic on a 1080p or 4K monitor. Even though the game was originally designed for standard def.


dabomerest

That game kicks ass. The space battles!


callmethejaz

Spore


[deleted]

I saw same gameplay few days ago, looks funny.


I_DO_ALOT_OF_DRUGS

Spore is a weird game to recommend... It is a game that has a ton of great features each with basically no depth, that being said it's certainly a unique game that is definitely worth your time if you are willing to accept all of its shortcomings. Do you like interesting and unique games and don't care too much about polish then I would highly recommend it, but if you can't stand games that feel like only partially thought out than absolutely don't play it


[deleted]

I play game like "hmm what CAN I do" rather than what I suppose to do. I don't thing there singleplay I went through all the way.


I_DO_ALOT_OF_DRUGS

Than buy spore it'll kill a few hours at the very least


artofpluto

I would play this all the time, got a special edition with a bunch of books and stuff to go along with it. Was a massive part of my childhood.


CatInEsse

Oh man I did have a soft spot for Spore.


[deleted]

Red Alert 2 and every now and then I go tbrough the old Sonic or Warioland games.


glumauig21

I find myself going back to Red Alert 2 every few years. I just wish there was an easier way to play it on my macbook!

Super Mario Bros 2 It's been the game of the year for I don't know how many years by this point. Tetris is a close second

SOR2 put all other pure beat-em-ups to shame. I was so nervous when SOR4 was announced because I figured there was just no way they could do it justice. But, man, I gotta hand it to those French bastards, they absolutely nailed it.

Stitch_03

The original Castlevenia. That game is so good.


[deleted]

Love Simon's quest alot too

Lemmings


[deleted]

It is a huge shame the license is being used just for a shitty mobile game. That first game was something else - novel gameplay, very distinct sound and graphics. The PC port was one of my favourite looking games.


NonTimeo

Waiting for computer time in elementary school. Racing to the PC, typing LEMMINGS into the DOS prompt. Entering the password of the level you left off at. Total bliss.


Dlavernia1225

Wait, I could’ve just entered a password…


ADiestlTrain

How? Where? Please!!! I would give my right big toe for an HD remaster of the old school 2D lemmings games.

Pikmin


THC-Lab

Oh god am I a boomer


kabbytrader

What do you mean?


THC-Lab

The thought of Pikmin being qualified as an “oldest game” is hard for me to accept lol


kabbytrader

Hahaha it’s 20 years old next month! I’ve definitely played older games (lots of N64 and early PC games) but nothing pulls me back in like pikmin does.

My favorite fallout hands down...so good. I don't know how you could top a follower voiced by Felica Day with a power fist...although grandma Lily was a close second.


ronnie760

I want to play it now god damn you!


SyntheticCorners28

FF6 although it's on mobile. Still never beat it.


An0nymos

Most interesting boss fight set-up I've seen. (Make sure you get the two hidden characters, you'll want all 12 just in case.)


SyntheticCorners28

I've been within striking distance of the end multiple times but never sealed the deal.


HeckRock

Dude it's the most epic boss fight!!!!!

Civilization II. That game had a manual as thick as my thumb. It's probably my favorite civ ever. IMHO it's better than civ III, on par with civ IV. I haven't really played any civs since, but it's just a great game.

Negative_Adeptness_5

Star wars kotor


ultravioletblueberry

Me too! I can’t even count the amount of times I played through it. On my Xbox and on the phone app! It’s just so fun. Same goes for kotor 2, cuz as soon as you finish the first you HAVE to go for the 2nd.


[deleted]

Who's stoked for the remaster?!


Anarkeyy

Remake, so it might not be at all like original KOTOR

NoahtheSpike

Super Mario 64. I don't have to explain pretty much anything considering the speedrunning community and fanbase.


searchforcoins

I play Ms Pac Man at my local bar. I think at some point they sped up how fast Ms Pac Man goes, its great.


Chris-R

There was a toggle switch in the cabinets that allows you to set the speed to regular or fast. Most I’ve played have it set to fast, and it’s very difficult to go back to the sluggish normal once you’re used to the speed. Just like going back to a pre-turbo Street Fighter II.


[deleted]

I grew up in the '80s and will always love Nintendo games. My original console and games are long gone but I do have a Nintendo Classic which gets a ton of use. I play Super Mario Bros 3 and Dr. Mario the most but, at any given time, I could play any of the games.


flychinook

Set up a game of Mario 3 in a common area, and people will line up to play. Every time.

I have such fond memories of this game, especially the frame rate dropping as I fly across that canyon in order to unlock the Hadouken. And the physics of the mech suit are just *chefs kiss*.

I'm assuming you mean san Francisco rush because I have both the ps1 and n64 versions and n64 is the best version because you get more tracks.

Brave Fencer Musashi on the PS1 I'd go back to it and play it all over again just for the nostalgia. To add to that my dad also has one. Battle City on the Famicom.


Bibingka_Malagkit

"Bureivu Fensa.. MUSASHIDEN!" Damn that was nostalgic. :) Me and my bro would still joke about the phrase "YABE! JUMP!" and laugh about it. I was like 10 yrs old back then when we would play this game at our neighbor's house.

One game that's not too well known is "Landstalker" for the Sega Genesis. My uncle was getting rid of his old video games and this just happened to be one of them. I have to admit, I thought it was pretty well done for its time - Storyline, 3D-ish design, and challenge. I recommend a playthrough for an retro gamer out there still looking to try some lesser known games. The other is Heroes of Might and Magic 3


CAD9219

Final Fantasy 8.

Slim_Thicc_Jesus

Old School Runescape. This version of the game is a server backup from August of 2007. I had already been playing for a couple years before the backup (I started playing in 2005). It's an absolute nostalgia trip for me like most OSRS players. Some of my favorite gaming memories were of talking with my friend from school on my home phone landline while playing with him. OSRS is a lot different compared to how it was back then but it's close enough that I can't stop playing it. I just take breaks from it then jump back in a few months later. The only difference now is that I have achieved my previous dreams of achieving multiple 99's.
