When you have to say something like that, you're admitting the game is shit. Imagine if that kind of logic got applied to other things.

>American politicians are pretty good if you're open to corruption enough for them

Commander Keen

>>339431995

Playing, as in the past? Fuck, I don't know. Probably something on my Atari 800 but I'm too lazy to look up release dates. Say early 80's.

Oldest game I legitimately still enjoy playing and ignoring "I feel good playing this because of nostalgia", I don't know. Hard to say how much is nostalgia and how much is genuine. Some still holds up really well, especially old multiplayer games, but that's harder to gauge too. Probably the oldest game I still REGULARLY PLAY, not just still enjoy, would be Doom 1.

>>339433618

Good choice. Immediately started hearing the theme and the horrible horrible meows.

Pool of Radiance

I can't get it to work properly on my computer, though. Every time I rest or save, all the characters turn into fighters.

Excluding early arcade stuff like pacman, I'd have to go with Nethack.

The original COD: Black Ops

and before anyone asks, I'm 18 btw

Don't know the name, but I'll always remember the gimmick because it's one of the coolest things I've seen in that type of game and I want to go back to it someday.

When you reach the end boss, he explains that the save points were placed by him to harvest energy. He then proceeds to power himself up based on the number of times you've saved the game.

There's no way he didn't play at least one game he enjoyed before that.

My Atari my grandfather gave me. He gave me like 50 games with it. Every few months I play the one where you're a chicken who has to cross the road. It's fun for ten minutes. Usually I just play Kaboom on it a few times a week.

Something like this kept showing up in /v/ guess-the-game threads circa 2010 and as far as I know no one ever figured out what game it's from, my guess is it's just some light trolling.
