Hmmphh kids. Gee, if we're talking computer games that's hard - there weren't many around 32 years ago (1978). Actually I'm not sure if there were any around at all. I remember playing Pong and Space Invaders on either a Famcom or a very early Atari when I was about 4, that's probably the last time I played something that 'might' have been older than me - and I actually think it was released (that version of Atari/pong) when I was 2-3, so doesn't count.
See, that's where I end up. I vaguely remember a Star Trek strategy game where you had to calculate torpedo trajectories, I know that that dates back to 1977. Though the version I played was slightly more recent.

Pong. You have to go WAY back to find a game older than I am (born in '77).

Seeing how I was born in 1986 I'd say it was Pacman.

Now where did I leave my Zimmer frame? Where am I?

Im with this guy/girl. Starcraft 1 is probably the closest I got. It was my first game. I was about 5..... Probably not the most child appropriate game but hey know I always wonder what my school would look like from a a birds eye perspective when it gets nuked.

That would be the last time I played Donkey Kong on my ColecoVision. Though it only counts since DK was released in arcades before I came along, as I technically beat the Coleco's release (DK being a launch title I believe) by 8 months.

Hmm, I wonder if that damn thing still works, I know it's lying around somewhere...

If we are talking video games, I'm not entirely sure this is doable for me, being born in the year 1980.
Pong? Maybe tetris? That's what everyone else is going with...

I haven't actually played many old games, the only one older than me that I've played was Zork, which I looked at out of curiousity last year.

A long time ago... On some emulator... Probably a mario game or some such.

I'm really not into old games
