    I love all the original final fantasys on ps1. Cant stop playing them.... Oh and chrono trigger and chrono cross. All the n64 zeldas are great aswell. In fact i just love all the old consoles. Graphics isnt really important to me, but i love it when an old snes/nes game gets a 3d or hd remake. Final fantasy IV Ds for example :P

    I still play Donkey Kong and Space Invaders with regularity... and Pong. What's with all this 4th and fifth generation we're talking about? That's hardly obsolete yet.

    I play 80's and 90's adventure games a fair amount, myself 8'D. The Monkey Island games are some of my favorite games ever (especially Revenge and Curse), and I'm currently playing Grim Fandango and Beneath a Steel Sky.
    I also occasionally still play the old, old Petz games for the nostalgia. Same goes with Frogger 3D ('95 version) and Breakout 3D ('00 version); they didn't review very well but I played those games to death as a child.

    I usually don't play games from the PS2/Xbox/Gamecube era, mainly because I don't have very many games from that era. I do, however, play the original Sonic the Hedgehog games, my favorite being Sonic 3 & Knuckles. I also love to play Shining Force. I've never played the 2nd one, I'd love to, but I don't care, Shining Force is an awesome game in my opinion. I also play Super Mario Brothers from time to time. I play the games from way-back-when mainly so I can get away from my friends always bashing on me for not being "Pro" or "MLG" and playing Halo 3 all the time, but I also play them because they are awesome games.

    Sonic Adventure Battle 2. Yes, not very old, but still. I only got a PS2 for my birthday last year, and rest assured, I'll be loading up on PS2 RPG games. I've also kind of wanted to get one of the Pokemon games for the Gamecube. It looks kind of fun. Though we have an Xbox 360 in the house, I don't play it as often as I might have if I decided to buy games that are kind of bloody and suggestive. I absolutely love the DS' backward compatibility since my Gameboy Advance SP has faulty coloring. There are also plenty of Gameboy Advance games that I would also love to play.

    Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. That game is just as awesome now as it was the day it came out, though I've yet to beat the game under one of those online challenges, though I would like to try one...
