Today I was playing my old copy of Civilization II when I started wondering, what old games do you guys still play and never get tired of?

Close Combat 2 (1996)

Consol,

Iron Storm for Sega Saturn, WWII Strat game..played it over the weekend.

Rise of Nations ,Homeworld,Seven Kindoms,Planescape Torment,BG+BG2.

Every couple years I give PGII another run from start to finish.

Close Combat 1, working just fine in Win7 Pro 64bit env.

Bearing in mind that one's definition of "old" often varies, I still play the following games:

Lords of the Realm 2
Birth of the Federation
Shogun Total War
Klingon Academy
Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2
Medieval Total War

My sig says it all...

I remember when CC1 popped up in PCgamer as ASL on the PC. Then Atomic and AH started having issues..and now AH is owned by a card company..how things go and Atomic is currently knows what.

I would love to get Aces of Deep and Microprose's 1st B-17 sim(the 3.5 flop one, not the aweful sequal they tried) plus Red Baron II, 1942 PAW Gold and European Air War up and running, but my flight sims days as well as my FPS days are behind me.

Now it's Strat or Tact, and Close Combat is my RTS level.[:(]..almost 3X and I returned to Tabletop wargaming this year...but I play HPS games on my Laptop while waiting for my turns.

Master of Magic, Panzer General, Fantasy General, Ascendancy and Conquered Kingdoms to name a few.

A couple RPG I'd like to play over again (SOMEDAY), for nostalgia reasons would be the Ultima Underworld series, and CLOUDS OF XEEN!

*ack* The dilemma of a retro-gamer when asked this question!

A lot of 80's SSI games (Fighter Command to Computer Ambush to Computer Air Combat to USAAF to [ad infinitum]). Guess I should throw in Soldiers at War, Flight Commander 2, Achtung Spitfire, Over The Reich, Empire Deluxe (it is still addicting!). ETC, ETC... Heck, it might be easier to list the old games I don't play (primarily really old flight sims like Red Baron I & Their Finest Hour don't get played here anymore).

I still have Austerlitz: Napoleon's Greatest Victory installed on my PC, and play a random battle when I've got some time to kill.

I mostly play old games that I have missed in the 80/90s. There are very few old games that I replay. Bertrayal at krondor and ultima underworld 1 and 2 comes to mind. 

Every now and then I'll fire up HOI-1 with The Great War mod, one of the  V4V series in the DosBox or X-Com UFO Defense.  There are remarkably few new titles out there that pique my interest.

With the exception of Planescape Torment (and that only because it runs nicely on my netbook), none. There are too many new games competing for my time. I play several 'old' Matrix titles, at least in terms of original release date, from time to time but all are still on the catalogue.

Master of orion 2.
Still good.

I still play War in Russia, SPWW2 and Rome:Total War.
Games I still would like to play are Red Baron I and SWOTL, but they are no more working with my Quadcore and Vista (flying too fast [:D])

Civ II

Combat Mission Afrika Korps. I love that game. Have yet to play the new stuff, but WW2 has my interest.
