I had to Google it but my oldest game is the NES version of Donkey Kong, I think. Google says '83.

Any of the original black box NES games would be your oldest as they were all launch titles released in 1985 in the US. Unless you have the Japanese Famicom version, which was released in 1983, then 1985 would be your oldest NES game.

Not all the Black Box games were launch titles.  In fact, I don't think either Donkey Kong or Donkey Kong Jr. were launch titles.   For some reason though, Donkey Kong Jr. Math was?   :o

Ok so if that is the case the OP's Donkey Kong may not be his oldest NES game if he has other black box titles that were part of the 17 that launched with the system in 1985.

The oldest game I own is R.C. Pro-Am for the Nintendo Entertainment System. The game was released in 1988 if anyone is curious.

my old games are up in the air for debate...

my oldest video game is the first releases of the Atari 2600. combat for certain.
my oldest board game is a monopoly board from the 1950's
my oldest puzzle game is a original rubix cube.
my oldest game item that is traceable is a late 1840's early 1850's wheel that my great great (unsure how many greats) grandpa was photographed with while holding a stick. we are under the assumption that he hit the wheel with the stick to roll it. (yes people actually did that)
my oldest untraceable game item is a chess/checker piece that my grandfather found on his farm one day that was made out of deer antler

Hockey (built-in game) for the Fairchild Channel F - that's 1976, baby
