The oldest game you own

[The Artificially Prolonged]

The oldest physical game I still own is Hogs of War for the ps1, one of two games of my ps1 collection that has survived. Disk is stratched to hell but it still works, which I am sure is down to the awesomeness of Rick Mayall that is contained on it.

Sonic CD. I have it for my phone. It controls like shit and it doesn't even have Sonic Boom. It dissapoints me so much.

[Nalgas D. Lemur]

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

Any questions?

The original version of Zork beats me by a year. I played it plenty, but I never had my own copy of it. The oldest I can think of that I still have that also still works is probably the VIC-20 version of Jupiter Lander [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jupiter_Lander], which was 1981. Most other stuff I have for it is from 82 or later. The original Zork was 1980 (unless you count the PDP version). Of course, the 2600's got that beat by a couple more years too...

Oh hey, I thought Zork was first. Well, shows what I know about VG history. Good thing I mentioned both.

 

[Geth2]

Sonic The Hedgehog 2 for the Sega Genesis, I have so many good and bad memories of that game.

 

[White_Lama]

Sonic the Hedgehog on Megadrive.

This one

 

[Deadyawn]

Probably one of my many sega megadrive games of which some are from as early as 1989. Although I do have an original gameboy around here somewhere with a copy of tetris which is from...1989 as well actually. Huh.

 

[ManimalR]

Red Alert 2 or Earth 2140, would have to hunt for the boxes to be sure

This baby:

Spoiler: Release Date: December, 1982; Console: You'll see

Wow, I'm sorry. Mine was an actual good game called the Bard's Tale (1985). I played Zork before that, but didn't really get into it. I was young, needed the awesome black and yellow graphics of Bard's tale to really get hooked.

 

[Bagged Milk]

Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt Cartridge for the NES

 

[shrekfan246]

Physically? Hm... probably Pokemon Red, because most of my Sega Genesis games have been lost to the ether now that my mother moved out of the state I live in and I'll probably never see them again.

Aside from that, though, probably Golden Axe since it has Sonic the Hedgehog beat by two years.

 

[Volstag9]

I have a ton of old flight sims that my father bought.

The only one I remember was Red Baron 2 from 1997.

There was this other game, it was much older. All I remember was that it had "Aces" in the title. That's all. No idea what that it was really called. That was from the late 80's I think. It's for the PC. He had it on an ancient laptop.

 

[BathorysGraveland]

I'll list my four oldest games, as they're all pretty close.

1. Resident Evil 1 - Playstation, March, 1996.

2. Tomb Raider 1 - Playstation, October, 1996.

3. Croc: Legend of the Gobbos, PC, September 29, 1997.

4. Fallout 1, PC, September 30, 1997.

I haven't played those games in so long. I actually have never really played Fallout. I got it in a 3-game set which I got mostly for Fallout: Tactics, played the first a little but never got far in it. Bored me pretty quickly. As for the first two, man, I haven't touched a console in ages. Probably should give them a spin sometime soon.

 

[Moonmover]

I have the 1984 gray box edition of "Zork" for Apple II. No idea if it still works - I found it at a junk store for US$4.00 in very-obviously-quite-used contition, took it home, and downloaded the freeware version - but it is my precous baby. :3 Even though it is older than me.

The oldest game I have that I know actually works (and that I have the necessary hardware to play should I choose to) is Pokémon Blue Version, for the Gameboy, 1998. I recieved it as a Christmas present that year. (My brother got Red Version. I don't think he still has it, though.)

 

[Xannidel]

Hmm Myst or the 7th Guest.

 

[uguito-93]

Super Mario Land, I got it and a Gameboy pocket for christmas when I was 4 and still have both in perfect condition 15 years later.

 

[Flizzick]

Putt Putt Goes to the Moon, 1992.

I'm not kidding.
