Oldest game you ever played

[Yureina]

Pitfall, from 1982 if I am not mistaken (maybe you are to Pitfall: The Mayan adventure released in 1994). Final Fantasy 2 from 1988 and Warcraft from 1995. Not close to be from same era thou

Mine was the first pitfall.

Yeah, I probably played the 1994 version. I remember Pitfall coming in some kind of pack that I got along with a new computer. Alot of old games I played were in that.

 

[crimsonshrouds]

im not sure how old they are but i played pong and et on the atari a long time ago

 

[Baldry]

Ummm I believe it was Pacman, and not the arcade(Xbox) version or the flash version no no kids the original arcade game!

 

[Abedeus]

PacMan probably. Or the first Mario.

Computer game? Smurfs, Alladin... The Jungle Book. But as for the date of creation, probably one of them SNES games.

 

[esperandote]

Combat or some other games for the atari 2600 maybe

 

[Marmooset]

Well, I've got two kids, so I've played the oldest game at least twice. And I didn't even have to pay.

At the time, anyway.

 

[silver wolf009]

pong

[Nalgas D. Lemur]

Spacewar, most probably.

Hell yeah, Spacewar! There's still one working PDP-1 left that runs the original version from the early 60s at the Computer History Museum.

 

[Altorin]

Spacewar, most probably.

However, the oldest game I've ever played at any real length was Elite, which came out in '84. That or Zork.

I'm pretty sure the commercialized version of Spacewar was actually called Computer Space, a coinop game by Nolan Bushnell (Founder of Atari, but this was before Atari IIRC).. I remember Jeff Ruben Lamenting about the name - "You took a 'game' called Spacewar, and you turned it into the woefully badly titled 'Computer Space'.... You changed the wrong word!"

but if you really played the un-commercialized Spacewar.. then my hat's off to you, that's about as far back as you can go in Video Game history.. there was one game before that, but it was basically just a program that fucked with an oscilloscope called "Tennis for Two" (although why games these old really needed names like that is beyond me, it was probably played by 100 people in its whole existence)

Pong duh

 

[Revenge Revisited]

Pong.

 

[Lamppenkeyboard]

Tetris, and that still is one of the best.

 

[Soxafloppin]

Pong i guess, Does it get much older than that?

 

[Socius]

Pong I supose...

 

[Lemon Of Life]

Tetris.

Purely for the music, doesn't get any better that this:

 

[lazathor]

pacman

 

[EightGaugeHippo]

oldest game iv owned, Elder scrolls 1 Arena. But its not the oldest iv played thats probably pong.

 

[manaman]

I played chess once. That is an old game right?

In case you mean video game I played Asteroids, Rogue, and a slew of other early games. Nearly everyone has played pong, even if that isn't really all that old, but more famous for being the first commercially available home system.

 

[Altorin]

Spacewar, most probably.

Hell yeah, Spacewar! There's still one working PDP-1 left that runs the original version from the early 60s at the Computer History Museum.

to those of you who don't know, Spacewar (and Computer Space) is basically Asteroids without the asteroids.. you played a ship, and your objective was to shoot at another ship.

It was the first coin-op video game, predating even Pong.
