Dwarf fortress is around 20 years old so that checks

You've convinced me to play God of war for the thousandth time.

All hail the ability to emulate console games up to a certain generation well enough on even lower end hardware.

Ain't no other way to officially enjoy classics like Tony Hawk Pro Skater ( best on Dreamcast IMO ). Probably one of the greatest skater games, just behind a game like Skate 2. But maybe that's the nostalgia talking...

What about playing them on the original consoles? I've got a Game Cube and PS3 I still use occasionally, and a PS2 that I haven't tried in a long time but would give it 50/50 for just booting up if I hooked it up, plus some portion of the failure 50% includes the possibility of repairing it.

I remember spending hours watching my friends play that game.

Retro game prices have been skyrocketing too. Everything's kinda fucked.

[–] FartMaster69@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 hour ago

Just soft mod your console or get a flash cart and sail the high seas.

[–] toofpic@lemmy.world 5 points 1 hour ago

Even if it's just 10-15, Zomboid, Oxygen Not Included, Factorio, Isaac, and Risk of Rain, are thousands of possible fun hours, even without rotation

I'm still playing Rimworld

Regardless, I never spend more than $20 on a game, wait for the "Game of the Year Platinum Super Edition" to go on sale. It works every time!

[–] pentastarm@piefed.ca 9 points 2 hours ago

Same. Got the base Cyberpunk 2077 game for $18. And then got the dlc for $18. Best $36 I've spent on a game in a long time.

[–] MutantTailThing@lemmy.world 16 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Skyrim, Fallout NV, Diablo II, modded to fuck Dungeon Keeper, Age Of Empires II, so many more. I’m set for life

[–] sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz 32 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (1 children)

Modded to What?

Sounds dope, though. Enjoy your peace, king

[–] FartMaster69@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I know nothing of the Diablo 2 modding scene but there better be a sex mod.

[–] MutantTailThing@lemmy.world 1 points 13 minutes ago (1 children)

There's sex mods for Rimworld so I wouldn't be surprised.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 1 points 9 minutes ago

That's incredibly expected from Rimworld. Hell the base mechanics encourage colonists pairing up.

[–] Blurntout@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 hours ago (4 children)

Any old mmo enjoyers with a game with an active community to link a fella? Was a fiend for RF online back in the day it was sci-fantasy before I knew what sci fantasy was haha!

Clan Lord

I played it during the beta way back in ‘97(?) but couldn’t continue when it went to a monthly subscription due to being a teen. I found out it was still going 3 years ago and became re-addicted.

Now a character is $15USD and no money is asked for after that. No micro-transactions or nuthin’.

The graphics maintain the ‘97 2D top-down style with chat bubbles, but the game still gets monthly updates.

The community is super friendly and helpful and some players have been playing since the start. It’s deceptively deep and there’s wikis to help you figure out what’s going on, but I don’t want to overload you with links right now.

There’s a discord too, but I’d rather you ask for it in-game to avoid and non-clanners causing trouble

If a new take on an old MMO is interesting, maybe look up Everquest Legends. It's basically an oldschool MMO combined with a massive power fantasy. It has problems (many, many problems), but it's still a pretty good time.

[–] StumblingWasabi@lemmy.today 1 points 1 hour ago

Its been a hot minute since I played, but city of heros is a fun one.

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 hour ago

Doom at over 30 years here, what what

[–] otacon239@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

UT2004 still bops. If I suddenly stopped being able to buy new games, that one would keep me entertained for at least another decade.

[–] Syndication@lemmy.today 3 points 1 hour ago

That's me except with UT 1999! As long as the community servers are still there, I'm good.

... Oh. Oh no.

[–] bridgeenjoyer@sh.itjust.works 10 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Oblivion just came out dude

[–] StupidBrotherInLaw@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Oblivion "remastered" just came out. OG Oblivion was released 20 years ago.

[–] SolSerkonos@piefed.social 1 points 1 hour ago

Morrowind was peak Elder Scrolls, imo.

[–] dewritoninja@pawb.social 1 points 1 hour ago

I've heard others say the same

[–] MintyFresh@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

Rocket league and factorio scratch my itches

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

Playing Evil Genius as I read this.
