When I discovered emulation, I started playing some real old stuff again. I've got Atari games like Frogger. That's probably the oldest game I've played again most recently, but I don't play that regularly.

I intermittently fire up Micromachines 2 (Mega Drive), which is just as much fun as it has always been.

If we're taking about the oldest game I still play regularly and seriously (that I did start playing back in the day) and still play now, that would be some PSP and PS2 games. I'm currently playing Wipeout Pulse and Gran Turismo 4 and progressing (even got the same save files from the PSP). I also regularly play Tony Hawk's Underground, Lumines, Grand Theft Auto China Town Wars and Everybody's Golf..... But these have fallen out of the current game rotation.

Overall if we're going to crown an undisputible winner, I think that will be the original Tetris.

Edit: also reminds me of Sim City 3000 and X-wing Alliance, which I will remember and play again once a decade. I still mourn the loss of the playerbase of Quake 3 Arena and Quake Live, otherwise I would still happily play those now.

    Check out Open Arena. It is based in the source for Q3A but it is fully fleshed out with new characters and weapons. Absolutely frenetic and great fun.

    +1 for micro machines, though I prefer v3.

    And older GTA, GTA2 was my favourite. I play it every so often and always enjoy it, but it is hard to play GTA 1 with modern expectations, they really improved for 2. "And remember, respect is everything"

    I shall check out all those suggestions. Thanks. Already got GTA2 though.

    The amazing price and performance of emulation consoles blows my mind and I would recommend them to anyone who hasn't discovered them yet.
