What classics do you play or would like to play? I myself would choose Final Fantasy VII as never played it, Doom (Possible Xmas Pressie), first Legend of Zelda which is quite good considering it has been like a decade. I have a few others in mind but would like to hear some from the members, here is your chance.

I go through the retro phase every so often myself. The games I most often dig up are:
Final Fantasy V & VI
Super Mario 3, World, & RPG
Mega Man X2
Banjo Tooie
Ocarina of Time & Majora's Mask
Mystical Ninja

I don't often play old games. The last time I played my N64 I played Mario 64, Yoshi's Story, Banjo Kazooie and Clayfighter 63 1/3.

I play retro some of the time. Pong, Galaga, Asteroids, Pole Position, all those good old Atari 2600 games. Never games like Custer's Revenge or X-MAN, though.

This Lords of Chaos wiki link is one of the greatest games ever made, and I'd love to see it remade for modern tech.

Amongst games I return to frequently are the FF series, X-Com (aka UFO over here) and Counter Strike, which still has a good number of servers up and running.

I'd also like if someone made a version of Super Skidmarks work in a browser, with online multiplayer.

Heh, Super Skidmarks sounds like what hapeens to underwear when someone doesn't wipe enough.

every so often i do, but not much.

that's the bad side of these new games with nice graphics, makes older ones hard to look at.

but i play ff7 and legend of dragoon every now and then.

I like to go back to some of the older games I was into as a kid sometimes. Most of them I never got around to completing. I don't usually seek out old games for the sake of being old though. There's plenty of good, new stuff out there.

I would like to start playing some of the classic Resident Evil games for the Playstation. Like Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, and the first Resident Evil (even though I don't like it as much as the other two). I'm glad I'm getting a Playstation 3 for X-mas because now I can download these games off of Playstation Network. :)

Resident Evil used to be my favorite game series as a kid because it was scary, but now the new games just aren't scary anymore and are more about action. I miss playing as Leon, Claire, or Jill as they tried to escape from the zombies and monsters in Raccoon City created by the evil Umbrella Corporation.Sure it's an old 3D game with dated graphics but the graphics aren't that bad.

i hate dos to much of a headache to go through dos, i'd rather let the computer install the game itself and click on a icon to run it, simple and quick.
