i might have Indy and the fate of atlantis for mac somewhere, as well as the mac it self, and blizzard of games for it of the same age
Usually when I upgraded my 'gaming rig' I gave away the old stuff to friends and family so a lot of my old games are probably lost. I still think I have the original 5 1/4" floppy and manual for Bard's Tale 1. It was released in 1985 but I probably bought it in 1989.
Between 1983 and 1988 there is a bit of a gap in original C64 titles since we copied most games. It was almost impossible to buy games in shops back then. I remember sending mail orders by old-fashioned snail mail and receiving the game from the publisher 1-2 months later.
My first Amiga game was Sim City, my first PC game was probably Civilization 2.
I would love to get extra bonus points for having games on casette tape or Vic 20 cartridges because I used to own some, but I'm sure they are lost in the mists of time.

Pokemon Red from the week it was released. Sadly the box was damaged over the years but the game is still in good shape.
I'm a fairly young gamer and I didn't own any games until I got a PS2. The oldest copy of a game I have NOW is Freekstyle, a motorcross racing game for many consoles, but primarily the PS2. What's the oldest game I've played? Mortal Kombat 4 I believe, I'm unsure. That or Golden Eye. My friend had an N64 when I was younger. Now, I have a new friend with an N64. We play MK4 a lot. Good times.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_Patrol for some kind of Commodore. It's older than I am. The husband of our nanny used to have it and gave it to us (the computer and the games of which moon patrol was our favorite)
Mario Bros 3 NES. I've never even HAD an NES, but that game came in one of those "Mystery box" garage sale thingers.
The oldest game I personally bought is probably the Super Mario Bros 3 remake for the GBA (Ironically enough). I had a bunch of older stuff, but I gave them away to friends and family, since my older consoles have long kicked the bucket.

I gave all my PS2 games away since my PS2 broke (Ratchet & Clank 2 was the first game I had), so the oldest game I have a physical copy of would be Beyond Good & Evil.
I still own my original NES and all the games I ever got for it. Out of those titles, the oldest one I own would probably be Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt.
Oh yeah, it still works too. Nintendo consoles are built like brick shithouses and can survive a lot of abuse.
