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

[OmniscientOstrich]

Physical copy? Uhh, hang on let me check...

...*rumaging*...

The PS2 port of Half-Life apparently. Yeah, I got rid of all my Sega/PS1 games quite a while ago...

 

[Guffe]

The first ever mario game, althou that was a Donkey Kong I think?
I have a Huge selection of games ot the First nintendo console. Street Fighter Turbo II being one of the more expensive ones.

 

[cheese_wizington]

The original Frogger or the first Mario both for the original Gameboy.

 

[doctimus]

I have a decent collection coming together, so if you're counting standalone game machines I have a Super Pong and a Venture Entertainment from 1976/7. I also have a 2600 and a copy of the launch game Combat from 1977.

First game I ever got was on Christmas Day 1989 when I got an NES with the Super Mario Bros./Dunk Hunt 2 pack. Been hooked ever since.

 

[kasperbbs]

Half-life and counter-strike 1,5 bundle, i got rid of my snes and ps1 games when i sold the consoles.

 

[Lawnmooer]

I believe the oldest game I have a physical copy of is Streets of Rage for the sega megadrive.

I have all the games for my Sega Megadrive, N64, Dreamcast, PS1 and PS2. I don't think I have any old PC games (I may have some floppy disks somewhere that I forgot about when I ended up with 3 computers with no drives to use them)

 

[natster43]

I think the oldest one I own would be Goldeneye 007 or Super Mario 64. my brothers owned all other games for earlier consoles we had (NES and SNES) and the N64 was the first console we got after I was born.

 

[solemnwar]

Unreal Gold (Unreal + Return to Na Pali expansion).
I love that game so hard.

 

[Freaky Lou]

I think it's Pokemon Crystal. I found it in Goodwill, with the box and manual, for like $1.84.

There might be some even older PC games around, though. I know I have the original Math Blaster series, and the Spider-Man game that also came out for PS1 and N64. And at one point we owned an Atari 2600, with Dig Dug and Pac-Man and stuff!

 

[Wildcard5]

Pong on the Atari 2600.

 

[Dreiko_v1legacy]

The original Sonic. I don't even have my genesis, in fact the chord that connected it to the tv somehow was pulled and it hasn't worked for like 15 years or so, I just kept the cartridge as a memento.

 

[the spud]

Fucking combat for the Atari 2600. Come at me, bro, top that! The funny thing is that I am only 15.

 

[Sablestick]

I own floppy disks of Xargon, Jill of the jungle, Commander Keen 4, Scubaman's quest, and I also have several of the king's quest games if not all of them.

 

[Leemaster777]

Pokemon Red, along with all my other Game Boy games.

My mom had a nasty habit of giving away all my old game systems, whenever I got a new one. When I got a Genesis, she gave away my NES. When I got a Nintendo 64, she gave away the Genesis. It sucks, I would have liked to have kept that stuff.

 

[thelustyargoniandude]

Oldest game? Probably Duck Hunt. I still have the Zapper too. I dig it out of my old crap box and play it when I get really frustrated at more modern games.

 

[Piorn]

I have a box with 10 adventure games, including Monkey Island, DotT etc, all with those cute DRM paperwheels that you need to enter.

 

[TheIronRuler]

Dungeon Keeper. Oh, Peter, what happened to your genius?
I also have a copy of Wolfenstein 3D, a present of sorts from my dad... found it in one of his disk piles he wanted to throw away. Save!

 

[chadachada123]

I've got the original Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt and an original NES. For computer games, I've got some real ancient gems on floppy discs that I haven't had a chance to use (go figure, my laptop doesn't have a floppy drive, hah).

 

[ZeroMachine]

Most likely, A Link to the Past for SNES. I'm not positive that's my oldest SNES game, but hey, it's probably close, and I'm too lazy to try and compare with the other games I have for that system.

 

[Wolfhowl the shadow lurker]

half life 1 and quake ever if i cant play em
