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

[DementedSheep]

I gave away most of my old games. I think the oldest I have left is Diablo or maybe Creatures.

jurassic park for pc. not the recent one but the original one. this was before games were run off cd. you play the game from floppy discs and is runs on DOS

im old

 

[RuralGamer]

Total Annihilation (1997), will it run on my current PC? Probably not.

I still have a copy of Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego on floppy disk kicking around somewhere. I can't play it though 'cause my PC doesn't have a floppy drive.

 

[F-I-D-O]

Joe and Mac for Gameboy. 1991.
Glad my GBcolor still works.

 

[Georgie_Leech]

Ah, the nostalgia...

Spoiler: I've got a working copy of cartridge most if not all old-school Nintendo fans have played at some point:

Now if only that old Nintendo was actually working...

 

[BreakfastMan]

The oldest game I have is a floppy of Maniac Mansion. The first Lucasarts adventure game, and still one of the best. Wish my current computer could use floppies though, so I could actually play the damn game... -_-

I just found an old copy of Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego on CD. Haven't tried to install it, probably wouldn't work on Windows 7.
I remember finding some floppy disk (believe it was an 5 1/4) car battling game. That would probably be my oldest, but I can't find it.

Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins from '92. Was almost Pokemon Blue till I remembered this one. Got the amount of time I spent on this game. Think it's time to play it, still have my GB pocket.... haha what a christmas.

 

[Bovver]

Apologies for the double post. Had to prove I was human.

 

[GoGrapefruit]

Eye of the Beholder, I think thats the oldest.

 

[Alssadar]

Those point-and-click adventures from childhood of the 1990's Putt-Putt.
Sure, I've had them stolen away in some random CD case for a dozen years (at least), but I still have them. (Strangely enough)

 

[The Unknown Stuntman]

mine for my console is tony hawk 1 on the ps 1 but i do have super mario land on my original green screened gameboy

 

[Borrock]

Pitfall, the original... Dammit, I'm old....

 

[DrRockor]

I've got a physical copy of FFVII for the PC

 

[Davih]

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas for the PS2. I trade most other games but didn't want to get rid of this.

 

[tseroff]

My oldest is Super Mario Bros for the NES. I have a lot of the originals, though, like Final Fantasy, Metroid, and Legend of Zelda 1 & 2 in their gold cartridges. I love my NES

I say physical copy because, PC and Console gamers alike both used to be sold in physical copies before digital distribution.Also so that emulator and digital version of old games wouldn't count. I want to know what is the Oldest ( even if you didn't own it when the game came out but you do now ) game in your library.

(Bonus points if someone still owns a game on floppy disks ).

I didn't get a PC until i was about 10 ( i am 23 now ) , so my oldest game is the original Lengend of zelda for the NES. And i still play it at least once every 2 years just because i find it great.

Your turn .

ive got tron for the atari 2600 and lemings for the PC which is on a floppy....so do i get bonus points now?

Might work if you use DOSBox.

I've still got a copy of Leisure Suit Larry on 5 inch floppies. For some stupid reason my parents let me play that when I was 3, but being the age I was I never got far enough to see anything risque...

BUT, that's not my oldest game. My oldest game would have to be "Combat" for the Atari. It was the launch title that came in with every console, so I can't get much older than that.
