Modded skyrim is dangerous
Rise of Nations: Gold Edition (2003).
The controls are ancient, but the gameplay and music still holds up.
Jak X.
Underrated from the jak series. I unfortunately as a kid had an early copy that had a bug that would corrupt your save so bad you couldn’t delete it.
Love this game
OpenTTD
Does OpenTTD count?
MechWarrior 2: 31st Century Combat (1995)
I had a sony viao pc (200mhz) that came with mech warrior 2 on cd r.o.m.
played the shit out of that
Such a good soundtrack on the CD
I still use devil’s lab as bumper music on a community radio show I do
Back then, every Activision game had awesome music. I miss those days.
MW2 was so damn good too! I bought some kind of badass flight stick just for that game.
With a sidewinder joystick?
That thing is made for torso-twist in MW2.
Yeeeess!! I was trying to remember the name of that! Thank you!
Loved that joystick, especially with A-10 Cuba!
“We are clan Wolf…”
“It’s got a lock on me! It’s got a lock on m-” BOOM
Mario 3, though these days I get tired of it after a World or two and haven’t completed it in a while.
Also Xenogears from the PS1 is still one of my favorite games and I replay it every few years.
Gothic

Steck die scheiß Waffe weg!
Dein Glück… Aber ich hätte dir auch gerne die Fresse poliert!

I’m on a retro game kick lately. I am currently playing Pokemon Leaf Green and Chrono Trigger (for a fiesta event) and will likely move on to Castlevania: Symphony of the Night afterward.
Contra still holds up very well, really fun to play with a friend.
I still play NES games often. These were the games of my childhood. Balloon Fight and the original arcade Mario Bros. are always fun for shorter sessions. And I still enjoy playing through Super Mario Bros. on occasion. I very rarely have ventured into games older than the NES.
The Dark Mod scratches that itch very well most of the time, but the OG had better story telling across multiple missions
Just started playing this again for the first time in years. Trying out the texture upgrades from tfix, and they seem pretty good. Still feels very retro!
yeah, I remember the first time I played The Dark Mod and thought: Holy shit, they really nailed the fidelity of the original! Then I was finally able to get Thief: Gold running and realized that TDM actually looks leagues better than the original lol
Thief VR just came out. I havn’t played it yet but I havn’t been so excited about a new game in years.
Just played the NES Contra yesterday for the first time in probably over a decade. Still can beat it first try although I did have to use a couple of continuous on stage 4. I’m so used to not dying that I forgot where to find the good weapons. But for stages 5-8 I still had all the muscle memory of where to shoot and when that I developed as a kid.
I assume we are talking original release and not a remake? These are the games I never stopped jumping in and out of.
- Fez (X360 2012)
- Rock Band/Guitar Hero (Multi-System)
- Skyrim (Multi-System 2011)
- FTL (PC 2012)
- Civilization V (PC 2010)
- Stardew Valley (Multi-System 2016)
Recently, I’ve been playing Top Gear (SNES 1992).
For many of these, I’m not playing on the original system. I’m playing a port. Fez wasn’t ported to modern consoles, but I play on my phone.
Hell, I played Skyrim on an Amazon Echo. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Before I got a Switch, my last Nintendo Console was a Super Nintendo and missed out on Wii/Gamecube/WiiU, family was a Playstation family lol, so now Im going back and playing all the Zelda’s!
Nethack.
Last three were Star Ocean (the first one), Radiata Stories, and Skies of Arcadia.
Currently playing Alundra because a friend grew up with it and wanted me to play it. Honestly it’s not great but RetroAchevements made the bosses extraordinarily painful to master, which is uh … fun. Yes. Fun, let’s go with that.
Oh and ps these commenters all have fantastic tastes.
