The oldest game I still really enjoy is probably The Secret of Monkey Island for DOS (1990). I like classic NES games too but I don’t really play them anymore.
What’s yours?
Monkey Island is probably next to Indiana Jones Fate of Atlantis one of those really old games that I still play from time to time. One of the first games I played and one of those games where it doesn’t matter that graphics got better or gameplay was made more defined (eg old Sim City is not as much fun as even the next one later Sim City 2000, or old Summer Games/winter Games is sure not that much fun anymore for me).
Also those old Adventure games work super fine in ScummVM :D

Love me some M.U.L.E., old C64 game. The graphics, the music and the fun gameplay. Always try to get friends to play on my PC emulator.
I still play Dodge 'Em, Journey Escape and Pitfall from the 2600 because these all take me back to my childhood in the 80s. On the C64 love Trolls and Tribulations, Archon, Ultima 3 and 4, and the Infocom games, especially Zork 1, 2 and 3. Even though I played them through more than once, each time it takes me back to when I first played them.
Probably Marble Madness. The NES version was half my childhood and I love to seek out the arcade version at retro gaming expos, although my wrists are really not up to all that frantic trackballing these days.

Huh, that’s really weird. I did not intentionally set this anywhere. Maybe this happened because of an incompatibility between my older version of Lemmy and the newer one running on lemmy.world …
