Morrowind + tamriel rebuilt mod and thug pro. I think Unreal World or Dwarf Fortress is probably the oldest, maybe ss13.

Chess. It's hundreds of years old ey haha
video
I play it online but I suppose it doesn't count. I've been playing some osrs so maybe that counts.
Currently replaying A Link to the Past (1991). It's not even that old.
Highly recommend checking out the Link to the Past Randomizer if you haven't. It shuffles all the chest contents while ensuring you can complete the game. It's different each time and even gives you a cheat sheet if you get stuck.

Thats only an 8 year old game man. I think they meant something old like SpaceWar!

I go back to play some nethack pretty regularly.
I'm not alone!Β
Never ascended once. Somewhere in the late midgame the inventory juggling becomes just too complicated and it feels like the last few turns of Civilization 4.
Tried fiqhack but it flakes on me a lot, can't figure the reason, won't find assets et c. I do dynahack now but it changes too much for my taste, and it doesn't help the inventory problem when you have hundreds of items and try to make sense of it all.
And yet 30 years on something about it still tickles me pickle.

Every so often I'll have another run at the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy text adventure from 1984.
You wake up. The room is spinning very gently round your head. Or at least it would be if you could see it which you can't.
It is pitch black.

Adams also wrote the game βBureaucracyβ, similarly rather difficult. And later βStarship Titanicβ, which is a 3d adventure with textual conversations.
Heard of ST, but not Bureaucracy, will need to check that out, thanks! π

Super Mario World every year or two. The soundtrack alone cheers me right up.
Would Tetris count if its always whatever new Tetris Ultimate Reloaded DX etc etc edition? I feel like it shouldn't but its basically the same game just polished up.

Playing regularly? Minecraft.
There are a few games I revisit as my kid grows up and gets to experience them for the first time, but Minecraft keeps coming back.

Technically Team Fortress 2. Though not often.
I'm playing through Final Fantasy 2 right now but the pixel remaster version which came out in 2021 which is why I say technically.
I started TF2 about a year or two back and still play because my son loves it. It's a fun game.

Probably half life 2
Darklands - a cRPG released in 1992 by Microprose. It's set in medieval Germany; you are a party of fledgling adventurers looking to build fame and money, and somehow you get pulled into a battle against the forces of the apocalypse. Instead of magic, you invoke saints and use alchemy to craft potions. I loved it when I was younger, and I still, somehow, enjoy it today.
If you hate the following things, then I highly recommend checking it out!
- great graphics
- good music and sound design
- easy to understand game mechanics
- stable, bug-free game play
- yourself

Deus Ex 1. Still holds up after all these years and there are plenty of mods to keep things interesting.
Warcraft 3 custom maps still drag me back sometimes.
