What's the oldest videogame that you own (as a cartridge or CD?)

The oldest game that I own is Battle Arena Toshinden on the PS1, which came out in 1995 (the year I was born). It's also a great game that pretty much influenced Soul Blade/Calibur (being a 3D weapons based fighting game and all) and it runs without any problems even with its age.

What about you guys?

donkey kong jr. for the colecovision.

i also used to own smurfs for the colecovision but i seem to have misplaced it :(

Smash TV for the NES. I beat that game several times. I'm sure I've got Duck Hunt and whatever else was on that cartridge as well. And Tetris too. I think that's my entire NES collection lol.

This is the oldest game I currently own on disc. It was also one of the first games I played for the PSOne. Oh the nostalgia.

I think Tetris for the original Gameboy which came out in 1988.Minishdriveby

super mario bros for the nintendo, it's not the first game I own super mario bros 3 is, but in term of date obviously the first one is older

LMAO. I don't understand the hatred for the game. I very much enjoyed it. To be honest I have not played a TM game that I haven't enjoyed. TM1 is probably the worst in the series by rights.

Still have the box, manuals, and all the controllers.

Armor Battle, NFL Football, Space Battle, Las Vegas Poker & Blackjack, and Auto Racing. They all came out on Jan 1, 1979 for the Intellivision.

King's Bounty and Gain Ground both for the Genesis released in 1991

Combat for me as well.

dad bought an Atari 2600 as a Christmas present for the family in 1980. I was 5. Thus began my love of gaming.

Fallout 1 and 2, though these were recently published versions

I'd have to go with Half Life 1 then

Venture and Donkey Kong for the Intellivision

mario bros for nintendo, beat that!

Space Invaders atari 2600 1980

Thanks to my mother's intense desire to throw out anything not actively being used, the oldest game I currently own, to my knowledge, is an NES copy of Metroid.

People nowadays forget what it used to be like. We live in a game collecting time period right now, and everything retro is cool and to be kept indefinitely for nostalgic value. Back when all of these retro games came out, virtually no one thought about this or felt this way. It was common to have a kid bring home a golden copy of Legend of Zelda for the NES, open it up, throw the box out, and quickly toss the manual aside after reading through part of it. The game was awesome, but most kids popped it out of their system and then it ended up in a pile of junk somewhere getting scratched and dented.

AND, as soon as these games became old and outdated, you'd pretty much sell them or they'd end up getting lost or thrown away. After all, why would you ever keep an outdated game like Mega Man 1? I mean come on, the graphics are sh*t now, your NES barely works if you still even have it, and it's just taking up space. Toss that garbage!

Seriously, today that just seems so wrong, but that's how most people operated back then. Sure, there are always packrats who treasure everything no matter how useless it is, but unless you were a packrat or a really, really super "gaming nerd," very few people collected games.

Various Atari 2600 games.

No idea what happened to the bloody console though...

Parasite Eve for the PSOne. Had to get it from E-Bay because none of the stores where I live sell PSOne games anymore. I bought it before they started selling it on the PSN.

Twisted Metal 3 awesome & true to the series.

You must not have played the real abomination:

Sonic 2(Genesis)

The NES launch title "Kung Fu" 1985 and "Super mario bros" 1985.

For CD games Launch title long box "Twisted Metal" 1995" Original "Ridge Racer" for the Sony Playstation.

I personally still have my Megadrive in the attic and a few games with it (Shaq-Fu I believe being one of them which isn't exactly an ideal advert for the console lol).I think somewhere, on an old floppy disc (5 1/4") I may have a copy of a very old game called Paratrooper which dates back to the mid 80's but not sure if I kept it after the last clear-out we had, other than that my dad has my old Amiga with Attack Of The Mutant Camels which I dates back to about '88 or '89 at a guess.

Still have a bunch of Atari 2600 carts and Commodore 64 diskettes in the basement. Not gonna try to figure out the oldest game. My dad has a pong system.

Got alot of NES games, I'll go for The Adventure of Zelda being the oldest.

Combat for Atari 2600.Stinger78

Yeah most likely for the me the oldest, but of all the Atari games I loved, Adventure has to be my Atari favorite.
