I play lots of games from my childhood. Even though it was before my time, Super Mario Bros on the NES is probably the oldest game I regularly go back to. But I love retro games, so I'll play even older games on occasion.
Me too. I would say Pac-Man or Galaga, but Super Mario Bros. 1 is the oldest one where I'll sit down and dig into it for a while. 40 years later, the character's weight and momentum make it feel better than plenty of modern games.
Oh, Galaga is another good one!
Check out ‘Recca’ aka ‘Summer Carnival '92’. Outstanding game for its time, with a bitching techno soundtrack.
