The original version of Zork beats me by a year. I played it plenty, but I never had my own copy of it. The oldest I can think of that I still have that also still works is probably the VIC-20 version of Jupiter Lander [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jupiter_Lander], which was 1981. Most other stuff I have for it is from 82 or later. The original Zork was 1980 (unless you count the PDP version). Of course, the 2600's got that beat by a couple more years too...FalloutJack said:
Oh hey, I thought Zork was first. Well, shows what I know about VG history. Good thing I mentioned both.Nalgas D. Lemur said:
Physically? Hm... probably Pokemon Red, because most of my Sega Genesis games have been lost to the ether now that my mother moved out of the state I live in and I'll probably never see them again.
Aside from that, though, probably Golden Axe since it has Sonic the Hedgehog beat by two years.

I have a ton of old flight sims that my father bought.
The only one I remember was Red Baron 2 from 1997.
There was this other game, it was much older. All I remember was that it had "Aces" in the title. That's all. No idea what that it was really called. That was from the late 80's I think. It's for the PC. He had it on an ancient laptop.

I'll list my four oldest games, as they're all pretty close.
1. Resident Evil 1 - Playstation, March, 1996.
2. Tomb Raider 1 - Playstation, October, 1996.
3. Croc: Legend of the Gobbos, PC, September 29, 1997.
4. Fallout 1, PC, September 30, 1997.
I haven't played those games in so long. I actually have never really played Fallout. I got it in a 3-game set which I got mostly for Fallout: Tactics, played the first a little but never got far in it. Bored me pretty quickly. As for the first two, man, I haven't touched a console in ages. Probably should give them a spin sometime soon.

I have the 1984 gray box edition of "Zork" for Apple II. No idea if it still works - I found it at a junk store for US$4.00 in very-obviously-quite-used contition, took it home, and downloaded the freeware version - but it is my precous baby. :3 Even though it is older than me.
The oldest game I have that I know actually works (and that I have the necessary hardware to play should I choose to) is Pokémon Blue Version, for the Gameboy, 1998. I recieved it as a Christmas present that year. (My brother got Red Version. I don't think he still has it, though.)
