Indeed. I love the old ones and I'm a retro-gamer by trade. My favourite console is the trusty SNES, the PSX coming a nice second. After that, PS2, Cube, and NES tie. My favourite handheld is the GBA, because it REALLY pays a lot of homage to my beloved SNES. Castlevania, Fire Emblem, and others of my old favourites come back to haunt my dreams (tip: Flu + Fire Emblem = WEIRD DREAMS)...and of course there are the old standbys for PC: Wing Commander, Civ 2 (most balanced civ IMO and best made), Lords of the Realm 2 (GODLY), DESCENT (it's a flightsim and a shooter in one!), and nearly every Lucasarts adventure ever made (never finished a single one, though).
Still, though, there are plenty of new games I love too. My current favourite is UT2004 - I love the team emphasis and the Onslaught mode, and the graphics add a very nice touch, but if it looked like Quake 2 I'd still play it. Anything pre-Quake 2 is quite questionable since I found most shooters to be graphically bland enough to make your eyes go squinty...except Descent (never played Quake 1). I also of course have UE going right now and WCU, and Freedom Force vs the Third Reich is very cool...
