I figure we might as well have the full set.

Currently I'm playing Project Zero 2 (aka Fatal Frame 2) on the PS2. It's good, but the camera has been made less intuitive than in the first game, and it wasn't that easy to start off with! Not sure if this one is as scary either, but it's giving out some nice horror montage footage early on, which the first game held on to until the last night of the game, which not many people got to (it was worth it though!).

A couple of days ago I played through Strider on the PS1. Strider is a game that I have loved since it came out... Which I think was 16 years ago. I can normally finish it in about half an hour, maybe less. The PS1 version is a good copy of the original arcade machine and has all the voice samples, but I preferred the slight remix that was released on the Megadrive/Genesis because it had better music and a better end sequence.

I've also just restarted Medievil on the PS1. The graphics are very ropey by today's standards, but the gameplay is all still there, and those regional accents are still fantastic!

Oh, and I've been playing a bit more Spider Solitaire on Windows than I really should, too!

Nov - regarding the Amazon links - it's weird - they sometimes seem to show up, sometimes they don't I see them on my home machines but not at work, and yet Amazon isn't blocked at work. It's weird. Anyway, assuming you can see the links, just click on anything and that's the same as searching for something in the search box. Anything you buy during that shopping trip counts as an affiliate sale (it doesn't have to be the thing you clicked on).

I'm on Monkey Island 2: Special Edition at the moment. 'Tis very good, and I really like the hint system - I don't use it often, but it's great if you've forgotten what you're doing between plays.
