So escapists, what is the oldest game you own a PHYSICAL copy of ?

[SangRahl]

Hmmmm... Without going upstairs to "the geek closet" (holds my library of paperbacks, PC game boxes, comics and ancient consoles/cartridges), I'll have to go with my NES copy of Final Fantasy (no bloody II, III, IV, VII, or any other roman numeral attached) and golden cartridge of Legend of Zelda from the mid-80's and a slew of PC games from the golden year of '93. (The Dig, X-Com: Enemy Unknown, Masters of Orion, Myst, Syndicate, The 7th Guest, and I'm pretty sure there's a rubberbanded stack of floppies with Doom on them.)

Super Mario Bros./Duckhunt on NES cartridge. I think it's from the '88 bundle.

 

[Gecko clown]

The original Monkey Island.

 

[Nooh]

NHLPA '93. Amazing game, that.

 

[Mr Fixit]

I have an ancient copy of Asteroids for Atari laying around somewhere.... Other than that does one of those old Pong games that you plug directly into the tv count?

 

[Aracnop]

I have a copy of Tetris for The original Gameboy.

 

[War Penguin]

I do believe that I have MYST from 1996.

Wow. Flashbacks, man. Flashbacks...

 

[Montezuma's Lawyer]

Yukon Trail.

Fuck yea, love that game.

 

[The Becker]

Legend of the Mystical Ninja on SNES.... best game ever

 

[Agow95]

Super Mario land for the gameboy

i still have the boxes, manuals, art work and disks for:

I-War (Independence War)
Unreal (original)
Half life (original)

and a few others i forget

I probably still got a Galactix-floppy lying around, that's probably it.

 

[keiskay]

i have an old rogue floppy not sure if it works or not since i dont have an old ibm from the 80's but thats not important.

 

[itsausernamewhatofit]

Super Mario Bros. and Duck Hunt for the NES

 

[Blue Musician]

The Age of Empires 2 Platinum Edition was the first game I owned and the first game I actually played.

 

[krazykidd]

Grim Fandango. It's really hard to get a downloaded version to work, and on newer OSes.

 

[jthm]

Qbert for my Atari. Is Qbert older than Burgertime? I'd have to dig the copies out to find out and yeah... not right now.

 

[skcom13]

Fallout on PC

 

[Fappy]

Something on the Atari 2600, not sure which of the games among them is the oldest. Pretty sure E.T. is pretty old.
