Oldest You Are Stiill Playing(and enjoying)

With all the apparantly great games that have been released over the years, with the great graphics, gameplay, and eyecandy, what are some of the older games that you have still in your collections and play regularly??

Mine include Master of Orion 2, Ceasar 3, Might and Magic 7, and Diablo(the original).

Any other great games you love and still play that have not lost their luster yet?

DooM (just played it last night) and Duke Nukem 3D. Blood and Redneck Rampage are pretty funny and fun.

Oldest game im still playing would have to be Shadowrun for genesis. I love that game, I wish they'd make a sequal.

VGA Planets. Been playing this PBEM since DOS. It's been upgraded but the original is still best.
Besides I really suck at FPS's.

I still play them. Those games were the first games I ever played. Still fun.

Every once in awhile everyone has to fire up some old Doom and Duke3D, but I've been playing the original Unreal since it came out. Its a great game. I kinda feel like playing a little Quake 2, just to hear the music.

Duke Nukem 3d is an all time classic. Wolfenstein (the original DOS version) also rocks. force_flow, did they play that MP Duke on XP? I can get it to work single player, but network game always crashes. Have tried everything I can think of.

All the C&C games. Red alert two and Yuri's revenge are the two I play the most.

I have one machine dedicated to just these games.

What settings did you use for single player? I've haven't messed with it other then just trying, and it won't play. Any tips will be appreciated
