We took a couple of family trips to a Barcade this year during the all-ages hours. I definitely played Dig Dug and Ms. Pacman and Defender (Defender is annoying, BTW), and I probably snuck a round of Space Invaders and Asteroids in there somewhere.

Mother, NES, 1989

If you have played Earthbound, is Mother 1 still worth a play?

I have played earthbound many times before I played mother. If you are a huge fan of the series, yes it’s worth playing. But it’s not necessary, earthbound is almost more of an enhanced remake than a sequel. Sure, there are some differences, but nothing compared to mother 3.

That’s how I always saw it. I have Mother 3 ready to go. I always have Mother 3 ready to go, yet I barely get anywhere in it. Maybe after I finish Final Fantasy.

I loved Earthbound, and grinded for at least the home run bat (I think that was Ness’ best weapon). Mother 3 just either doesn’t hook me immediately, or maybe things always came up. Any spoiler free input on the situation is welcome

Has no one here played Super Mario Bros? 1985… or donkey Kong? 1981. Pac-Man? 1980. Space invaders? 1978. So many classics, all playable today with MAME or even still working systems or perfect emulation!

I’ve been messing with SMB 1, 3, and World hacks lately

Chocrates ,

In 2024? No.

calamityjanitor ,

I’m moving house this week and unearthed my galaxy invader 1000 handheld. Had to play a couple rounds on the spot! Apparently from 1980.

I definitely played SMB this year. I may have played Pac-Man.

But I also played mancala which is 8,000 years old.

@Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world avatar

I just played Mancala the other day which may be up to 8,000 years old.

My daughter and I played with a ball today. It looks like Mancala might be old as balls!?

Microsoft Solitaire. ;)

Night Stalker (Intellivision)

I have an MSX from 1984 permanently setup on my desk. I use it regularly to play some old games. So about 1983-1984 games are the oldest I play often.

Just went to a videogame museum, they had the original Asteroids on the Atari 2600, from 1980. My favourite though was the Star Wars Racer arcade machine, it was even paired up with another one for multiplayer!

Hmm… in my case the oldest game I’ve been playing recently is a fan translation of “Metal Max Returns” a 1995 SNES remake of a 1991 Famicom game.

callouscomic ,

Probably one of the machines at a nearby arcade. Pin-bot is mid-80s and I play that one a lot. There’s a couple from closer to the 50s as well.

Skua ,

Does a remake of the first Wipeout count? It was technically made very recently, as the source code was leaked in 2022 and a couple of projects re-built the game based on that, but the original came out in 1995

If that doesn't count then it's Battle Engine Aquila from 2003

Jerkface , (edited )

Aquilla is a really cool game. I think I came across it by chance on a warez site back in the day. I had never heard about it. Honestly, I think this is the first time since that I’ve seen any mention of it. Might have to dig up a copy. Thanks for reminding me!

Skua ,

I was honestly surprised by how well it held up. The battles still feel impressively huge. Have fun with it!

SteveFromMySpace ,

Paper Mario is a recent one…probably something older but i’ll just stick with that

dhork ,

I play NetHack regularly, but maybe that doesn’t count because it’s under active development again so the most recent stable drop is from last year.

SteveFromMySpace ,

Now that is interesting. I’d say since it’s the same game just updated it counts 🤷‍♂️

Missile Command is a 1980 shoot 'em up arcade video game developed and published by Atari, Inc. and later licensed to Sega for Japanese and European releases.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missile_Command

On the actual arcade machine as well, with the huge ball “mouse”.

Felt challenging, but also how it would be kinda trivial with a mouse and keyboard.

Chess. It’s over 1500 years old!
