Discover 10 timeless video games from the past that remain absolutely playable today. From Chrono Trigger to DOOM, these classics have aged like fine wine!
Hot damn that's a good list. The only one i never played is AOE2 and i never finshed Chrono Trigger but it was damn good.
Speaking of what's old but holds up amazingly well and plays like a dream.. i played Symphony of the Night for the first time in 2019.. yep that's right. It became one of my favourite games of all time that i replay almost every year. I couldn't believe how good it was. That is almost impossible for me with newer games let alone older ones. Truly a special gem.
The only one I’d disagree with is doom. It shows its age badly I think. After 5 minutes of play these days you put it down.

Portal deserves to be one of steams highest rated games... It's almost tetris levels of perfect game design.
Gotta love Steam. Just got Portal 2 for .97 cents CAD. Should have been $1.29, selected the bundle with Portal 1 and 2, which gets a 25% discount, already have Portal 1, so it removes the cost of that, and still applies the full 25% bundle discount to Portal 2. 90% + 25% discount.
That's sweet, I've been thinking about building a modest pc to play some oldies
I think it was insinuated that Caroline was now part of Glados, she was converted into disk form upon her death
Keep on reading into it guys cause valve isn't gonna tell us any of this shit for quite a while.
I managed to go through puberty and reach first year uni in the time its taken for valve to form a half decent fucking narrative in half life and they're still taking their time. Video games are literally the ONLY format where people can just say 'oooooh I'm not telling you anything about this mysterious plot point... but I'm not a lazy writer or anything. It's not deus machina... I swear! There is a an actual point, it's just a mystery. Ooooooh. Seriously though I'll tell you in the sequel. Oh shit this IS the sequel? Right well I'll tell you in the next one then.'
My only resentment towards valve is they taught people its okay to leave unresolved plot threads. Valve at least handle it with some competence but now all game devs just think its the shortcut to creating some dense and interesting mythology behind their games. From Halo, to Gears of War, to Dead Space... I'm tired of playing games that think its perfectly okay to fuck the audience over by skimming on 9/10ths of the answers, providing no God damned resolution whatsoever at the end, and then just telling us it's all gonna be okay because it's part of a trilogy and for just a meager eighty fucking quid we can have some delicious closure.
At least that WAS the case until fucking spin-offs became the latest fad. Now if we want answers we've got to buy the spin offs, and the mangas, and the comics and the animations and the wii version of the game and the handheld version because they're all canon. Ya know I'd love to how people would have reacted if half way through fucking Iron Man Downey Jr. just flew the away, it cut to credits and we were told that he'll resolve the whole terrorist bullshit in the next film. But it's okay cause there's an online comic that fills in the little bits in between.

No way, ambigious, non answered stuff has been happening in movies and tv shows way before gaming.
It isnt an unresolved plot, its just ambigious. Its supposed to be left to the viewer to speculate and decide. Its not lazy writing, its part of the enjoyment for me and its part of the kick - whether you like it or not is up to you.
Watch any Chris Nolan movie - memento, inception, the prestige.
TV shows - Lost etc.
She's put in Stasis, not hibernation, meaning she wouldnt age anyhow. No test subject would age in Stasis.
