I forgot what its called, but its a game that came on like 12 floppy disks. I've neverplayed it, and Im sure my at the time girlfriend got it for me cause she thought it was neat just like I did for being on floppy disks, but still. I knowthe cover had a woman in white on a horse riding away from a scary looking castle though, if ayone want to tell me what the title is (since by the time i get home I wont care enough to look).

Though, while its not mine yet, my uncle has an original copy of Custer's Last Stand that im inheriting along with some of his other stuff like that.

I have the original 3-and-a-half inch floppy for Champions of Krynn.
I think I lost my floppies for the older, Forgotten Realms gold box games (Pool of Radiance, et al), though I do have a CD-ROM compilation with them...probably doesn't count, though.

According to my Gamespot list [http://uk.gamespot.com/users/sjvan0/games_table?mode=own&sort=release] (which is drastically out of date), it's a tie between Kung Fu and Golf, both released for the NES on Oct 1, 1985.
so after diging in my box of gaming history i found a tape for dambusters on the c64, 1984.

Some old point-and-click adventure game about druids and ritual murders...can't remember the exact name as it's lost, but I know it's about somewhere ¬_¬
The oldest game I still own is Bard's Tale III. I've included some photos [http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/832/img3793r.jpg/] I took [http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/861/img3792q.jpg/] of it [http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/37/img3791se.jpg/]. I'm a bit ashamed that the game is so beat up and the code wheel is missing, but it is the oldest one I own. I also had Ultima III, although like my copy of Mechwarrior, I have no clue where it is. 
Bought it in 1988. For the Commodore 64. Good times.

Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings
Have some that are older, but this is the only one I still regularly play.

Civilization. It doesn´t work, because i dicked about with the files once to often.
But then again, I don´t have an Amiga anymore so it doesn´t matter all that much ;-)

It doesn't work, but I still own a copy of Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt on the NES. That, or the old PC games that came on the large, actually floppy, discs, like Kings Quest 1, 2, and 3.
