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

[Shoggoth2588]

I just pickled up a copy of Dr. Mario with the box and manual. That isn't as old as Mario Land on the GB I know but Zelda 2: Link's Adventure is a bit older, having released in the US in December of 88. So that's my new, oldest game!

Lander, for DOS. Got it on one of those old floppy things. *see pic*

Spoiler

The middle one

 

[J-Alfred]

Pokemon Yellow. First game I ever owned. I still fire it up to pummel the Elite Four every now and then.

 

[Battedjack]

Probably the original halo

 

[Bomberman4000]

Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt WITH operating and fully functional orange Zapper gun.

Represent.

Some googling says that LEGEND OF ZELDA (NES) is older than Back to the Future (1989) Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt bundle (1988) and Total Recall (1990). In 1986!

Solid Gold.

 

[Dr. Pepper Unlimited]

Gahan WIlson's: The Ultimate Haunted House - Released in 1994. I still play it randomly to this day. It's adorable.

I have a bunch of old Vectrex games sitting in my garage that date from 1982-83. Unfortunately the console itself is busted, so I can't play them anymore.

I'm thinking of getting a replacement unit so I can relive the good old days. It's been too long since I played a round of Minestorm.

This. So much this.

I still have a Vectrex myself, all the carts except for two of them. I feel kind of bad for you though; my machine still works after a bit of blowing. XD Good luck on finding another machine. You'll need it.

I'm only counting it because I think it might still be lying around in my closet somewhere (I swear, that thing's so deep and cluttered you'd have thought it was a portal to another dimension or something), but I would have to say that it would be Looney Tunes for the Gameboy/Gameboy Color.

 

[Havzad]

the oldest pc game i own (but sadly cant play) is the original age of empires! it was the first game i ever played and left the greatest impression on me..now that i think about it, i own every game in the series!
As much as i love other games like skyrim, red faction gorilla, TF2 and more recent games i will forever be a loyal fan of the AOE series!

 

[Ashendarei]

Master of Orion 2!

 

[corysc]

I have Frogger, Donkey Kong, and couple other for atari 2600 with the system. They still worked last year when i found the system and decided to play them for a while. I keep all my old system and the game I have for them. I know there is a locked box somewhere in my attic with a commador 64 and a collecovision with some games for them but I cant remember what they are.

 

[OneCatch]

Myst

It's been forever since I've played it though.

I think this is my oldest too. Was one of the first games I played, given it came out when I was three or four!

Riven is the one that feels older though, given it had about 5 different disks that had to be changed mid-game lol

 

[SergejH]

Probably Tir-na-nog...
For ZX-Spectrum...
On cassette...

 

[jdanklefsen]

Either FF VII or Colony Wars. PS1 ftw?

 

[Hookman]

I have the cartridge for Batman on NES
OR
Super Mario Bros on NES
(I'm not entirely sure which one came out first)

 

[Waner Doa]

Elite

 

[Bravo 21]

The original C&C Red Alert, Which I find impressive, because the game is nearly as old as I am

 

[TsunamiWombat]

Star Craft, Armed and Dangerous. Not sure which is older.

Edit: OH i have a sega saturn and a few games for it like Virtua Cop

 

[LittleBlondeGoth]

That would be Batman for the Amiga 500, from 1989...
