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

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!

I just picked up "The Sumerian Game" on Steam. What a great story...

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.

DMG Gameboy Kirby Dreamland. My youngest loves it and it's REALLY hard to lose so he doesn't need a ton of help.

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.

R-Type, first release 1987
