What is the oldest game you have ever played?

[Raven's Nest]

Probably a bunch of Amiga games like Rune stone or Moon Stone or something like that. Difference is, I played them at release, as with a bit later on, the original X-Wing, monkey island, alone in the dark, sonic etc. Ooh and Commander Keen lol.

Anyone remember when games were made primarily by Apogee, Sierra, Psygnosis and Lucasarts?

My most fond gaming memories were all Dos based games. It seems nostalgia beats graphics anyday. DosBox is like the greatest thing in the world...

 

[Gardenia]

The first Prince of persia game.

 

[hotacidbath]

Pong, my uncle has it.

 

[Spitfire175]

I played pacman when I was 5 or 6. That's over 20 years ago, scary how fast time moves.

 

[Lenny Magic]

Sim Tower: The Vertical Empire, wow that game was awesome.

 

[j1-2themax]

Donkey Kong Country 2 or Killer Instinct, whichever came first.

At least, those are the ones that I can remember playing for any length of time.

 

[asinann]

Pong.

 

[GodofDisaster]

Duck Hunt was the first game I played. "Curse that laughing dog, curse him," I say.

 

[Lopunny]

Mancala.

Oh wait.

errr...Pong

I love Mancala but anyway, probably something called Phoenix for the Atari 2600...

I have played an emulated version of Spacewar which is from 1962.

It's better than you might think it is considering it's age.

I went to a video games exhibition once at London Science Museum and they had one of the original arcade machines set up there.

I think that means I win.

 

[rocketdive2001]

Spiderman on the atari!

 

[bladeofdarkness]

pong

 

[Frenger]

Pong.

We had a console version, with 6 different setups. For those who have seen Gamesswipe, the old geezer and his wife they show, played one of those things. How one of those games ended up in the cold, dark forrests of Helsinga, I have no idea.

 

[SovietSecrets]

Pong/Tetris, but those are usually for everyone. Except for those two, Need for Speed is the oldest game I have played.

 

[KILLERTHING]

Probably the original doom games (Ultimate doom/doom 2 and final doom)

 

[Pegghead]

I once played Pitfall on an Atari 2600.

 

[goldenheart323]

In the arcade: Asteroids

Oldest game on a console: Combat on the Atari 2600. That was the pack-in game.

 

[infinisynth]

Pong, and it sucked ass. I don't care how nostalgic it is, it just plain sucks.
