I played the similar game Stunt Driver on PC a lot growing up. Had a tweaked copy where all the stats were turned way up on one car. Good choice to play as an old game
Probably one of the machines at a nearby arcade. Pin-bot is mid-80s and I play that one a lot. There's a couple from closer to the 50s as well.
Golvellius on the Sega Master System.
I've owned it since the 80s but back then couldn't get very far. The fact that it uses passcodes instead of saves didn't help. Last month I played with a mod which adds save support, on the MiSTer FPGA (which I have installed in a C64 shell), on a nice ~10inch OLED.
I got all the way to the final boss but... still haven't beat it.
Oldest game I’ve this year:
https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Astro_Warrior
on Steam Deck
I’m a bit bummed the question wasn’t about the oldest game I’ve ever played (as I misread it at first), but that would be:
I've got Pong on my phone and one of my kids loves it.
Trying to finish pokemon emerald on my game boy micro. I mostly play at family gatherings
This year? I've lost, best I've got was a very brief demo of my setup with an Apple II game (and I already forgot what it was, I was just showing of that I had every game from an Exodus set since they added Apple II). But I'm not gonna count it.
Actual play? I'm on a GameCube fix right now cause of achievements. Y'all are the real mvps in 2024.
I was playing Bubble Bobble on an NES emulator, so… 1988
Mine is kind of cheating. I'm playing the Pixel Remaster of Final Fantasy I currently. I only have my tablet on me at the moment so I'm also doing a lot of emulation. SNES, N64, and GBA are my sweet spots
Paper Mario is a recent one…probably something older but i’ll just stick with that
Moon Patrol on the Atari 2600 (Emulated on my Steam Deck). I'm not giving away my age by posting this at all...
The London Game, from 1972.
I finished R-Type III (1993) and played a little bit of Castlevania 2 (1987)
Oldest I have played during this year? Or oldest I have played up until this year?
Oldest this year.
But maybe up until this year, or in the last 5 years would have been the more interesting question.
Galaxy 5000 (1991). Not the oldest in this thread by far, but I've never heard anyone talk about it and it's actually a really decent racing game for its time.
Just installed an Atari2600 emulator
