Head over heels and Batman on the C64
Or maybe Schooldaze on the ZX. Found about 100 old commodore games in my folks place. Love it! Amazingly the old thing still works! And crashes at 99% exactly as I remember it!

While I do have some old Atari 5200 Games at my parents house still, and a Pong Console (lost power adapter). In my possession the oldest game I have here is a copy of the Original NES release of Super Mario Brothers/Duck Hunt combo cartridge.
All my old stuff got sold a long time ago, so it appears the oldest game I own is an original copy (non-greatest hits) of Final Fantasy VII, released in 1997.

You have no idea how harrowing that EBay auction was.

Physical? Probably my old Ps1 games like Future Cop LAPD. I got rid of my old C64 and Mega Drive games years and years ago. Digital copy would be Spacewar, or Ultima IV
Castlevania 3 and Dinowars. Don't remember which one came first. Too bad I don't have an NES to play them.
Assorted Atari and Intellivision games. I've never quite taken the time to discover if any of them I own are particularly rare or older than the others, but both units still work and I return to them for my nostalgia fix once in a while.
Hmm. I can't say with absolute certainty what it the very oldest thing is, but I know I still have the disks and manual for Sim City 2000, from round about 1992.
Also, Transport tycoon, Wing Commander 3, Theme Park - All games from about the same period - 92 to 95...
And um, the Kings Quest collection, which I got in 1997, but does of course contain Kings Quest 1, going all the way back to 1984.
Oh, and I have an original cartridge for tetris on the Game Boy, which is second-hand, but otherwise must've been around since 1989...
I used to own more stuff like that, but several things have been stolen over the years.
And I sold my Atari um... I can never quite remember what it was exactly, but it was competing with the Commodore 64.
Anyway... My collection doesn't contain anything really ancient, but there's some pretty old stuff in there.
