What is the oldest, by year of release, game that you own. Name the Game, Year of release (if you can), and console/system it was for.

The oldest game i have is the original PS1 demo disc.
Yeah, that demo disc.

Okay seriously captcha, just give me something can read! Spent 5+ minutes reloading the stupid thing.

EDIT: Actually I also have several original gameboy games, including the original pokemon red and gold, super mario land 1&2, original donkey kong, and metroid 2: return of samus, and several others. Not sure if these or the demo disc is older.

Tetris (NES, released in 1986).
As for the oldest game I own and actually play, that would be Golden Axe (Mega Drive, released on August 14, 1989).

Tetris for the Gameboy. I love it and I can spend an entire evening on it.
Same here, I still kept some of the other Gameboy game cartridges and aswell the SNES games too.

Batman-movie game for Commodore 64 (cassette version) in the original casing must be the oldest one I have.

Going by its EU release date, Mystic Defender for the Sega Mega Drive / Genesis from 1990. The oldest game I've played physically is The Hobbit on the Amstrad CPC, clocking in at 1982.

Still have discs of the first Command and Conquer game (like ever, the one that started it all).
The case contains four discs (it's not a re-release) and I couldn't even run it on Windows XP or 7.
But I refuse to part ways with it, it's a piece of video game history in my opinion, or the history of RTS at least. I'm a huge fan of RTS games so I keep on to it.

Either my Pokemon Yellow or Super Mario Land. Not that old I know, but I just don't really keep things.

I bought the original Fallout in 1997, back when games came in those huge boxes, with printed manuals and readmes the length of a National Geographic.

Actually I didn't buy it, my granny bought it for me, which I find hilarious that a quaint old woman would be in Curries or PC World, totter over to the games section and think "Oh, these are those newfangled Com-peu-tore thingies my darling 9 year old grandson enjoys so heartily, I think I shall buy him one, but which? Fallout, a post-apocalyptic role playing game... Fight irradiated giant scorpions and try to stay alive in a desolate, barren world... Hmm, sounds wonderful!"

Zork and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Also, a load of Atari 2600 games.

Any questions?

A boxed copy of Zork II, IBM PC version 5¼" and 3½" floppys. Not the original edition with feelies, unfortunately. just a reprint from around 1991. The first IBM PC game I bought.

No idea why I still have it, considering all the other stuff I've lost, sold or given away.

Assuming my old Sega Master System still works then mine would be that Alex Kidd game that came preinstalled on it.
