Nfs hot pursuit 2 holds up insanely well. Ahead of its time. Gt2, ff12, musashi, crash bandicoot. Lot of ps2. Still play all my 2600 and nes and n64 games too
Yoshis island
Super mario world
DKC 1, 2 & 3
Pokemon gen 1&2
Banjo kazooie & tooiee
TLoZ A link to the Past, Ocarina of time & Majoras mask
Warcraft 3 + frozen throne
Command & conquer 2 + yuris revenge
Currently replaying the Sly Cooper series, it will always be a favorite of mine
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.
Rogue, Hack, Nethack. Basically nethack, but it built on those before it. Occaisonally Larn. Amiga Larn.
Crash Bandicoot 2: Wrath of Cortex. Original hardware, Muscle memory from childhood. Still a banger 27 years after my first time.
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.
I'm so happy to see this mentioned. It also has an incredible OST.
The fan stuff is excellent as well: Heavy Instrumental Metal:

Im looking forward to Eartheon !!
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 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 interested in trying Shenmue after it was (to me rather surprisingly) awarded the "Most Influential Game of All Time" award by BAFTA.
How do you play it there's days? Physical Dreamcast? Can you play it on PC? Emulator?
I have my Dreamcast still so I could theoretically boot it up any time and get the "authentic" experience. However they released it digitally for playstation and I think Xbox, along with the sequel.
I will say, it might be less accessible if you haven't played anything like it previously. Game design sensibilities were different back then and it was the first real attempt at an open world game, to say nothing of the awkward English voice acting. But the narrative is still fantastic and I can't think of many games that have ever been so ambitious in their scope. It's part Virtua Fighter, part RPG, and part narrative walking simulator. I discovered it by chance at a formative time in my life and those first awkward steps into it with no idea what I was about to experience are still a core memory from my teenage years.
Thanks for coming to my TED talk, I guess haha
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.
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."
I still play some of my old school Pokemon games from time-to-time such as Red, Silver, Ruby, and Platinum.
Every so often I will fire up my copy of Mega Man 2 and run through it.
Mega man is SO hard. I struggle to get anywhere. But, that music. I LOVE it.
Every final fantasy game i seem to play over and over again on loop, bunch of different iterations. Played the nes ff1, then the ps1 remake, then the GBA remake, and then the pixel remaster. Currently playing thr pixel remaster of 2. GBA was the only other version I played of that.
Hat-Trick Hockey, World Games etc.
Most of them! Well, not regularly. But I love going back to the games and consoles of my earlier days.
My favourites are the 16-bit and early 32-bit eras
