I haven't really played Computer Games since my Amiga died back in the 90's. I did have the original Playstation but could never really get into it - I gave it to my younger brother in the end. Anyway, REAL games are 8-Bit and come on a Cassette!
Cool that you still have a Megadrive though...
....what?.. oh... yeah..
My Daughter has just reminded me that we do have an old WII and still play some of the family games on it - Gameboard Island generally. I guess I still play Tetris on my phone - an old nokia (Can't stand Smartphones)

Usually 'Fallout 3, Fallout 4, Fallout New Vegas, or Metal Gear Solid 5 on my Laptop,
got a ps4 in the man cave but haven't switched it on in about two years..
Upgraded to a PS5 this year and started playing Call of duty Mw3 multiPlayer again. Realised my reflexes aren’t what they were!
Moved into playing the zombies version that came with the main game and has become my go to if I can get free time.

Never paid a penny to buy premium stuff in it, yet I have more donuts (premium currency) than I know what to do with …
I used to play World of Warcraft on my iMac just about every day for around seven years, then quit for four or so, and went back to it for three more (almost exclusively WoW Classic, that came out soon after I returned) before deciding I wasn’t having all that much fun in it anymore around March last year and quitting it a second time. Still love the game, but I would really like to see the kind of atmosphere that was there in the first few weeks after Classic launched
I'm on the PS4, as for games, it's usually COD WW2 or Sniper Elite
Only Sniper Elite I never got on with was the re-vamped SE2. The rest have been pretty good, in fact pretty damn good. The head shot graphics were something else!!1
My PS4 died hence the transition to the 5.
I've always played games or flight sim. Although the only FS I used was XPlane. No silly stuff, no fast jets or airliners. Usually a Cessna or the like and fly round the UK as I downloaded high definition graphics for the UK. Always try and get an hour or two every evening, 8(ish) to 10(ish). Give or take!!
Mind you, since hitting 72 I'm maybe thinking I should hang up my headphones but you know - I don't think I'm ready yet. And tests have shown that games do keep the dreaded dementia at bay!!

I've enjoyed all of them to be honest, even back to the original on the Xbox 360.
Flight sims and racing games have never been my thing, games like GTA, I've played but never got on with!
Once I've finished watching TWD then maybe I'll get the brain going by playing again... maybe?!
I have a "game computer" in the cave.
Asus B760M-A Prime bundkort
Intel® CoreTM i5-13400F Processor
Corsair 32GB DDR5-6000 Vengeance RAM
Kingston NV2 1TB NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD
Asus GeForce® RTX 4060 Ti OC 8GB TUF
Corsair Carbide VG-100R Silent kabinet (Cause I hate those trash disco light gamer PC things.)
Corsair CV650 650W 80+ Bronze
Asus DVD brænder Black ('cause between them windows and norton take turns in deleting game file downloads.)
Game wise not so much as before I'm down to:
Farming simulator I started with FS17 then 19 and am now at 22 which is not near as good as 19. Which I lost thanks to a windows up grade that trashed my down load files.
The 2022 version is OK but not near as good.
I have a laugh at euro truck driver, Never going to be good at it. But fun never the less.
I seem to have a liking to games that are pretty good as a base game them modders make it inti a great one.
Mud runner another driving game gets a look in once and awhile.
Mostly used for graphic and the odd youtube video,
None these days, but I did have a liking for turn based strategy games back in the day when I was a shift worker. My favourites were East Front II and Operational Art of War by Talonsoft. They had decent AI for solo play. Loved the earlier Civilisation games, and X-com as well, and played the football manager sim Championship manager a lot. Never did like first person shooters, just found them boring after a few minutes. An exception was Half life, mostly because I liked the settings. Stopped playing games once I came off shift work really, just occasionally messing about with simple puzzle and word games on my iPad these days.
None any more, primarily as I'm Mac based now and they don't run games easily, but back as a teen I loved the Command and Conquer series, inc Red Alerts, Civilisation, Age of Empires and Cossacks was a good one too. Also a bit of the original Call of Duty. Have been tempted to buy a 'gaming' laptop but fear it will take up too much of my time.
