Lately, I’ve been getting my hands on some older games and have been playing them. Most of them are games that I used to play at one point in time. Not all of them, but most. Maybe I’m nostalgic, or maybe I’m just old, but I’ve been enjoying these older games more than most of the newer games coming out.
The first thing I got was a NES Classic. My wife and I both grew up playing the NES. We, of course, play the Mario games, but there are a few others that I’ve played on it: ExciteBike, Tecmo Bowl, the original Final Fantasy. The first two I used to play all the time and are still not bad to play. I never played the original Final Fantasy until we bought this… I’m not a fan. Also, I remember Zelda being a lot better.
But, that’s not the only system I have older games on. If you look on my Xbox One, you’ll find KOTOR 1, KOTOR 2, and Star Wars Battlefront 2 (the original Xbox version, not the one that came out last year). All of them are from the first Xbox and all of them are games that I absolutely love.
The first KOTOR is still my favorite single player game of all time. I’ve probably beaten it a dozen times and I still love playing it. The second KOTOR isn’t as good as the first, but it’s still fun to play.
Battlefront is still a lot of fun to play. I forgot how much fun it actually was. Granted, it was more fun way back when, but that was because I was almost always playing either with, or against, my brother. But, it’s still a lot more fun to play than the new Battlefront games.
What about you? Are there any older video games that you still play?
