Not counting emulators.
Sacrifice, Though I still own and been tempted to play populous: the beginning and cnc: tib sun.
Sacrifice is still ranked amongst the most funnest games I've ever played across all the systems I've played in my life.
I <3 Sacrifice, the graphics haven't aged the best but the cartoonish figures makes you forgive it. Ironically it required a pretty up-to-date computer to run when it was released.

The first video game ever made was Pong.
Pong is still as addictive today as ever.
Even if you don't like that, Pac Man came out a mere 8 years later, Tetris 4 years after that, and those are still plenty fun.
There are no old games, just intolerant gamers.
EDIT: I just noticed that a bunch of people previously mentioned Pong on this thread. My point is still valid. Heck, probably more so.

I think tetris is the oldest. But by far my favorite Old game is Transport Tycoon Deluxe.
That game rocks

It was not. Even if you only count commercial releases, Computer Space is a year older.Uzi-Bazooka said:
Other than commercial games, there's Spacewar! for example, and that's 10 years older than Pong. And Tennis for Two is even older than that.
Yes, it's an alright game even today, but it wasn't the first.
Some Amiga games. And we're talking about games that I'd actually play.
Rainbow Islands (Rainbow Islands: The Story of Bubble Bobble 2) certainly. That came out 1987.
Also: North & South, Rick Dangerous 1 & 2, and a few games I remember vividly, except their names.

I still have a lot of fun with Space Invaders, Pac-Man, and most of the arcade games from that era.
Although I can certainly play things like Pong, I'd say the oldest game I really consider to be fun is probably Rogue. According to Wikipedia it was made "around 1980". It's still a pretty fun rogue-like (does it count as a rogue-like if it actually is Rogue?) today, even if it doesn't quite have the depth of some of it's successors.
The NES is the earliest system that I could say that I still enjoy, though there are a couple of early computer games that I enjoy as well.
The earliest would probably be DOOM, but I can't say for certain.
Any NES or later console game, though, is fair game. Those don't get old for me, and still have nearly the same replay value as they do today.
