Oldest game you still play?

[Anonymous No.10699281]

Which game(s) are the oldest that do you still enjoy today (regularly, semi-regular, time to time)? Mine would easily be Tetris. All the other stuff from the past aren't half bad like OG Mega Man or Mario Bros for NES, but this one is endless. No matter which system, as long as it's the original style of Tetris with the falling blocks, this game is the eternal puzzle experience for me.

Prince of Persia probably. Since it's a speedrun by design and you know it won't take you more than an hour or so it's great for casual replaying.

I played OP's cart when I was a kid. Had the link cables and everything to play with my brothers.

Pretty sure there's other's like me. But we mostly lurk. Because there's nothing really new to talk about. Except the romhack threads. Those are usually neat if they're of games I've enjoyed.

Somewhat regularly? Probably FFVII. I replay it every other year or so. It was the first game I ever managed to beat by myself.

This is probably it for me too. I still go back to it now and then but for over a decade gameboy Tetris was something I played virtually every night before going to sleep. I would always do game type B level 9 5 high which I loved because of the random garbage element and would usually play a few rounds and try to get a win with at least one Tetris before calling it a night.

Sure, it's really fun in a minimalistic sort of way, and very rewarding and intuitive once you get past the initial misinterpretation of how it controls as laggy or janky.

The combat is in fact dead easy to master once you (again) get it; it's all about rhythm, not reflexes. Less so in the Super Nintendo version, where there's a couple tricky boss battles: one that involves reflexes, zoning and a little luck unless you haven't got a bunch of health upgrades, and other one (the final boss fight) that's basically broken and involves discovering a glitch and exploiting it.

It's interesting how such an early game was capable of understanding the problem with realistic depiction of movement in videogames and came up with a system that, once you accept it's not a broken version of what you expect (the "issue" that the average zoomer or youtuber finds with the game) but as something else entirely, is basically as well as it's ever been implemented.

Modern games kinda work around the problem by overcompensating with realism everywhere else so you don't notice how unrealistic the movement and momentum is, but this game from fucking 1998 managed to create viable action platforming gameplay never compromising or lampshading basic realism beyond the ridiculous athleticism of the protagonist.

Pong.
I had my zoomette gf play it for the first time a few months ago and she liked it so much we played it for almost an hour, an eternity in Pong time.
It’s so simple it’s impossible not to have genuine fun with it.
There’s quite a few games from the 70’s I can still have a lot of fun with. Galaxian immediately comes to mind.

For real. I would KILL for another game with a similar feeling (probably exists somewhere but I can't think of one off the top of my head).

I ended up purchasing that "Making of Prince" book a while ago. Still haven't read it, totally should.

Another World is close but not exact. Prince of Persia is definitely its own thing.
Rotoscoped pixels is indeed a based and underutilized technique.

I can’t remember the name of it, but there is a late release nes game I think is Japan only that has overly-animated running frames and has you grab ledges and pull yourself up. You even pivot your foot to turn around and it’s animated. DF Retro did a video on it that’s all I can remember.

feels like every guard has his own slightly different style of fighting too (at least in the DOS version), which you gradually learn and can adapt to, to easier defeat them. I love PoP's sword fighting.

Try Nosferatu on SNES

Moon Crystal isn't that good, they put in the animations, but not the same amount of effort into making the controls and hit detection feel good

With some exceptions I believe the only change between guards is the increasing probability (as you advance into the game) that they'll parry and riposte. The exceptions are
1) The fat guard around level 6 in the PC version who parries way more often than regular guards
2) The generic-looking but special guard at the beginning of level 8 who ALWAYS parries your opening attack, basically a design choice so you can't easily get past this point unless you yourself learn how to parry and riposte (you can muddle through with luck up until this point)

[Anonymous No.10702659]

>>10702571
I get the feeling there's slight differences between some of the other guards too though, just not as big as the level 8 guard. Like some guards can be killed more easily from farther away than others for example. I have to replay to check now.

I got curious and looked it up online. Looks like there's 7 dfferent guard types used in total (excluding Jaffar), so not as many as I believed. And only 5 types excluding the fat guard and level-8 guard. The guard types are sometimes different within the same level though.

It's just so perfect. Fast enough that you have to plan where the next piece will go as the current one is falling, but not so fast that it's unfeasible. A nice amount of junk that makes it interesting and random each time to figure out how to clear enough of it while getting 2 and 3 lines to set up a Tetris... You can play it every day for years and keep getting better while always feeling like there's still room for improvement. I think it's one of the best things in all video games.

The oldest game I play on a monthly basis is Panel de Pon. I love everything about it. It's one of the few games where I have to stop myself from playing it too much because I never want to burn out on it.
Oldest that I play yearly would probably be Lunar Lander. My dad really enjoys that game and whenever we game together we always break it out and take turns landing for a while.

Super Mario Bros on NES.
I had it growing up and it blew my mind when I played 1-2 and could go over the UI and then as Mario went past the goal into a secret warping area, it was unlike anything I had ever seen, and it's still fun to me, fun to play and experience. I finally beat it for the 1st time last year, and had such a fun time doing it.
