Title: What is the oldest game you own?
Post by: marvelvscapcom2 on September 07, 2016, 05:13:51 pm
Mine is Space Invaders for Atari 2600 :D.

Armor Battle, The Electronic Company: Math Fun, and Las Vegas Poker & Blackjack which released 1979 for Intellivision.
I'm looking in to getting some 2600 games now since I have the Intellivision System Changer (an adaptor which allows Atari VCS/2600 games to be played on the Intellivision) to possibly get some titles older than that in my collection. Either way, it's pretty cool having games in my collection released in 5 different decades all still accessible and ready to play!

Oldest game I own is Super Mario All-Stars for the SNES. I think it's cool, but nothing too spectacular.

Combat for 2600, that was the original launch game for the system that came with your system.

However, I sold my Atari 2600 collection last year since all it did was collect dust. Now, it's Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt combo-cartridge for the NES (the NES's pack-in title).

That could be Game & Watch Ball, if not for the fact that it's the Club Nintendo reprint. The oldest game I own in it's original form is most likely the Super Mario Bros. / Duck Hunt cart on NES...real exciting, I know. :p

I have most of the 9 Atari 2600 launch tittles

Air Sea Battle
Combat
Indy 500
Star Ship
Street Racer
Surround
Video Olympics

Only missing Basic Math and Black Jack. Outside of collecting there is no reason to own anything older than Atari 2600 unless you’re just really into Pong for some reason.

If you include dedicated game systems mine would be the Color TV-Game 15.

It would have to be one of the Atari VCS/2600 launch titles I own since I don't have any Pong machines. This would have been from 1977.

Combat
Video Olympics
Air Sea Battle
Street Racer

One of the Atari games that I still never played. I'm not sure which one.

Regarding ones that I played, it would probably be Final Fantasy Mystic Quest.

Tiger LCD Pinball 1987

I have this one. Wonky physics, and simple as hell, yet still fun in short-bursts. And that's a pretty big deal for a Tiger Electronics game, not too many of them are actually fun.

I own a single 2600 game, E.T.


I bought from a game store for like $2 when I first started collecting, and when I genuinely believed it was the worst video game ever made.

Mine would have to be Mario Bros. on NES.
I would like to venture into older games eventually but not having grown up with them makes it difficult to play them. There is no nostalgia effect.

That's kind of how I feel about modern gaming - reversed. The joy I experienced with retro gaming of my youth can't be reproduced when I play modern consoles now as a middle aged adult. So in a different way I'm not "growing up" with current gen and previous gen console gaming so I've basically just stopped playing 6th-8th gen games and stick to second-fifth gen stuff.

The games for the Magnavox Odyssey 1.
The first game console ever made in 1972, can't get much older then this. lol  ::)
You have to put plastic sheets on the TV screen to get graphics. lol

What if I had a PDP computer with Computer Space on it?


...I don't, but that is one thing that could be older.

Still, that's pretty freaking awesome. Are you able to hook it up? I heard the connection it uses is so old and outdated, that you can't even play them anymore.

I don't have any consoles older than NES because I'm a scrub.

I don't own any Atari 2600 stuff any more, so it's one of my Game & Watches. According to the release dates on Wikipedia, Donkey Kong is the oldest one I have.

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.

I want to say I still own the same three carts that came with our Atari 2600 (though the system and a bunch of the games we had are long gone) which were Combat, Gunslinger, and Speedway II.

For me that would be Alex Kidd in Miracle World for the Sega Master System or Super Mario Bros. for the NES.
Title: Re: What is the oldest game you own?
Post by: brazbit on September 11, 2016, 08:08:11 pm
If you exclude things like cards and board games and it had to be electronic... that would be my Sky Jump pinball machine from 1974. A full electro-mechanical pinball machine that probably did a number of years in a bar somewhere before finding its way to me somewhere around 1987.
http://ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=2195

Portable game would be Blip by Tomy. which goes back to 1977. A mechanical pong like game that uses a series of gears and cams to move the ball and 3 buttons per player to act as the paddle. The only electronics in it is an LED that indicates the ball. Movement is powered by winding the timer and scoring is mechanically advanced when you guess wrong on where the ball will land.
I picked it up in a thrift store in 1981 for like fifty cents... which was a major score for a kid my age back then.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blip_(game)

For consoles I have the launch titles for the Atari VCS (1977), but they are not the copies I grew up with. that original heavy sixer and about 70-100 titles disappeared into a box when my parents recently moved so my current collection is starting from scratch a couple years ago. I do however have my original Magnavox Odyssey² (1978) although it was after the switch to built in controllers and the games, voice module, and they were bought starting around 1980.

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.

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

It uses an unique rf box. As long as you have that piece you can use it. In fact i have hooked it up to a 1080p hdtv and it plays fine. The plastic graphic sheets wont stick to the screen though. Weird thing is the light rifle works on the hdtv but the zapper or most any other light gun doesn't. Lol

And if your lucky to own original 60s pdp computer with computer space on it your the king of game collectors. Lol

My oldest game is not very interesting, it's Super Mario Bros. for the NES. But for the sake of completeness, I'll put here my oldest games by system :

- NES : Super Mario Bros.
- SNES : Super Mario World
- N64 : Super Mario 64
- Gamecube : Sonic Adventure 2 Battle
- Wii : The Legend of Zelda : Twilight Princess (putting Wii Sports would be a bit of a shame for me)
- Game Boy : Super Mario Land
- Game Boy Color : Wario Land 2
- Game Boy Advance : Super Mario Advance 2 - Super Mario World
- Nintendo DS : Super Mario 64 DS (also, Metroid Prime Hunters: First Hunt demo)
- Nintendo 3DS : Pokemon Y
- Sega Genesis/Megadrive : Super Thunder Blade
- Sega Dreamcast : Sonic Adventure
- Playstation : Final Fantasy 7
- Playstation 2 : Ridge Racer V
- Playstation 3 : Sonic The Hedgehog
- Playstation Portable : Breath of Fire 3
- XBox : Dead or Alive 3

And I see that quite a lot of these titles are launch titles for their respective console.

I've looked around, and my first thought was a Commodore 64 tape, but that's just because cassettes feel old. For me, it would be like others, a 2600 game of some sort: Combat, Space Invaders, etc. Late 70's Atari launch titles. Still work perfectly, although the images are messed up from the glue.
