Was playing a bit of Stunt Car Racer for the Amiga this week, from 1989, and wondered how far back people are going!

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 finished R-Type III (1993) and played a little bit of Castlevania 2 (1987)

R-Type, first release 1987

I haven't exactly been keeping track but off the top of my head the oldest game I've probably played this year is A Link to the Past (SNES, 1991).

Probably up next on my retro gaming to-do list!

Robotron on mame and yar's revenge on 2600.

I got my childhood game, crysis 3 up and running with wine, so I've been plying that again. I can't belive it looks so good and runs so well compared to all the other "modern" games out there.

This year? Probably whatever the oldest game in the Switch's NES library? I haven't played much this year. Of note is Star Fox. I specifically played the first one. Star Fox 2 is interesting. It never got released but is on the Switch NES player. It has some rogue like features you'd see in games today. It has an xcom vibe where there's like an overworld map layer.

Definitely some earlier Sega titles. Teddy Boy, My Hero, Wonderboy. Easy to grab at to entertain my toddler for half an hour so they get switched on fairly regularly.
