We found this really old console up in the attic once which had like 3 games Pong, Tennis and Table tennis. My father had apparently got it more than ten years before I was born in 1984 it had two controller (if you can even call a box with a dial a controller) with which you moved the pong paddle up and down on the screen.

that is chronologically the oldest computer game I can remember ever playing.

Sounds like a 2600, correct me if I'm wrong.

Too be honest I don't know what it was the last time I have seen the thing was back in the early 90's. So your guess is probably better than mine.

I own an original Magnavox Odyssey, which was released in 1972. I want to play the original SpaceWar! but can't get the time to go to the museum holding it.

the oldest i vividly recall playing is combat in the atari 2600 which was released with the console in 1977, of course i couldn't have played it until after 1984 wich is when i was born.

Back when Media Works was awesome Simon and I bought one of those off ebay but the seller never gave it up.

So sad.

My grandparents have an honest to god pong machine though in their attic.
