I still find Civil War Generals 2 to be a really fun and challenging game. The visuals are still perfectly readable and charming.

Quite a few, but the one that I've played the most is Super Metroid. I do like to play through the different Mega Man games too and a few others, but they are almost all well known games.

I have rediscovered other games that I totally overlooked because I thought they were too kiddy or too hard like The NewZealand Story, Gimmick and so many shmups.

I still play some of my old school Pokemon games from time-to-time such as Red, Silver, Ruby, and Platinum.

HL2 still holds up after 10+ playthroughs.

Last time I played it was when the commentary track was added. Played 80% of the game in one sitting because I was so hooked.

Thunder force 4 or lightning force in my youth was a really fun game. Played it to death on the Genesis. It still holds up. I still play it from time to time.

They're all well-known: Pac-Man (first game I ever played), Super Mario games, Metroid games. Anything past SNES I feel like I was too old to consider it my "youth."

Crash Bandicoot 2: Wrath of Cortex. Original hardware, Muscle memory from childhood. Still a banger 27 years after my first time.

Rogue, Hack, Nethack. Basically nethack, but it built on those before it. Occaisonally Larn. Amiga Larn.

I played lightbike a variation of armagetron (that imo was honestly superior, it had jumping, boosting, maps that took advantage of that, skins back when they were cheap) but I still play armagettron on ocassion, agains the ai for the most part. Loved that ipod game. I wish it was still popular, think they got scared of licensing disputes with disney and a bit greedy with the microtransactions towards the end, started to effect gameplay through boosts.

I wish some of the changes like jumping and maps that were more than just one grid made it over to armagettron or another pc version but those stayed simple sadly.

I would eat up a modern cross platform tron lightbike game with maps like the ipodgame, jumping, boosts, etc. and cosmetics like rocketleague as long as they don't give you a leg up. It would be all I play.

Morrowind, Shenmue, Earthbound, all the the Mega Mans, Starcraft

I'm midway through Oblivion Remastered and holy shit is inner 20s me ever happy about this raytracing thing

Less Pokémon here than I thought there would be, though it does make a showing. I do gen 2 and 3 now and again. Gen 1, I think I've wrung out completely, and gen 4+ (DS and onward) just doesn't emulate as cleanly in my experience.

And I guess I'm approaching my 2nd decade of still playing certain MUDs: Achaea/Aetolia, Discworld, Lost Souls.

I don't really game much these days, though; certainly not like I used to.

Currently replaying the Sly Cooper series, it will always be a favorite of mine

Quite a bunch, but the ones I come more often to my mind (and that are not DS titles, if not it would be Jump Ultimate Stars, Metroid Prime Hunters or Mario Kart DS) are:

Jackie Chan Stutmaster and Toy Story 2, both PS1 games (among other PS1 titles).

Still playing Call of Duty: United Offensive multiplayer on PC nearly every day

Dungeon master and Dungeon master chaos strikes back

• Rollercoaster Tycoon 3. Hate it or love it, I still think it's an amazing game.

• Chuzzle Deluxe. Recently got back into it after purchasing it a few months ago.

• Zuma Deluxe. Same thing applies.

• Sonic Unleashed. Went from playing on PS2 to 360 to now Steam Deck. The 360/PS3 version is absolutely superior, though.

Any others I can think of are all things I started playing closer to when I was a teen, so I'm not counting them.
