Default Old Games You're Still Playing

I'm sure we're all avid Guild Wars players, but are there any older games you still play on a somewhat frequent basis? Please not that I'm not asking you which old games you enjoyed. Rather, which you still enjoy. Myself, I still regularily play Heroes III of Might & Magic, released in 2000. It is easily the best turn based game, ever, and there is no better way to waste 12 hours than to play this 8 player turn-based Strategy game. xD I also still play Starcraft, released in 98, atleast I think in 98. This is definately in my personal opinion the most enjoyable & balanced RTS game to date. I play both regularily online. What old school games do you still play. o.O?

Hmm...I play Age of Empires II, Starcraft, Baldur's Gate, Planescape: Torment, Fallout, and Master of Orion II on occasion, and Day of the Tentacle, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, and Superhero League of Hoboken every so often.

haha, I'm still playing on my saga dreamcast from time to time. I didn't get a change to play it the first time when it was popular, so i picked up a console for like £10 (5-6$) with a few games. Then found out you can get DC games online burn it on a cd-r and play it. So yeah I'm playing Shemue atm.

Ever since MSN dropped support for online play for JK, it's hell to find anyone to play with, or who even owns the game anymore. Too bad too, that game was amazing.

Hehe..."old" indeed.
I'll occasionally fire up Gyruss, Ghosts & Ghouls, Cotton, Rampage, Galaga, Sailor Moon (there's one that's a scrolling fighter), Super Mario, American McGee's Alice, and Dungeon Siege 2...(to name a few)
MAME is a wonderful thing.

I still play Doom, the whole series from Doom1 to Final Doom. I don't play through their .exes, though. I use the sourceports ZDoom for singleplay and Skulltag for multiplayer. The sourceports provide some pretty kickass features, like autorun, mouse look, higher resolutions, etc. Old school's never been so fun!

I've been wanting to get a Doom 2 co-op game going for a long time now. Anyone interested???
