Space Quest 3. Wonderful story, funny, good music, and it always gave me this wistful feeling for some reason.

ARSENAL Extended Power. An old strategy game from the early 2000s. Still fire it up once a year to mess around.
ShadowMan from 1999. That's one of the (if not the) first narrative action adventure games I ever played and a big part of my childhood. The mixture of blood, gore, creepy music and enemies and great setpieces (you play as the walker between the worlds of the dead and the living and can switch between them) fascinates me to this day. When I was a child, it gave me quite a few nightmares, but I still finished it. It's an absolute masterpiece.
NightDive recently remastered it and it's even better now.
I have an N64 and a Sony PVM, so I play a lot of games on that. But thereβs two I play much more regularly than all the others: Mario Golf and Mario Tennis. They both hold up incredibly well.

I built my own PC, a tower with a 16 core 32 thread cpu, 128 gb of ram, 16 gb of vram and i make sure to keep it cold enough to handle playing minesweeper on expert.

Blaster Master. One day I will complete it.
I settled for completing the Remake on Switch because you can save and not have to start over and beat it in one sitting.
Online gaming wise Call of Duty: United Offensive (2004)
As for single player gaming, donkey Kong Land 1 for gameboy is the oldest game Iβm actively playing. I have various NES launch games in my collection, those would be the oldest games in my collection that I have played.
I believe the Pac Man cartridge for my NES is probably the oldest video game I still pick up regularly.
On and off back theme hospital or itβs new instance two point hospital
The oldest I can go reliably is the late 80βs and early 90βs.
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.
