OK, what is the oldest game you have in your possesion?

[Himself]

Hmm, I have an Atari 600XL Asteroids cartridge from the low to mid '80s, that would be the oldest computer game I still have (somewhere).

[Muad'Dib]

Sorry Andrei, I can't send emails now. I have been too lazy to actually go down to the school's tech center and figure out why too, so until that, I'm stuck with ICQ and AIM. You got either? If so, just add me.

ICQ: 20443829
AIM: AIMHATER007 =)

I have "Moebius" by Origin Systems. Bought a new copy at a closeout sale a year ago, 'cuz one of my disks died, and it was only $5. Well, one of the disks in the new one is dead, and I'm pissed. Gonna make Origin replace it under "warranty". Figure they can e-mail me the whole 500K game now.

Dude, I have "Camel" and "Adventure", on TAPES, for the TRS-80 Model 1. I transferred them both to 8" floppy at one point... but the floppies left with the system.

I've got ICQ on a CD somewhere, but I got to search for it, install it and see if my account is still valid. I'll do that this evening

For the oldest games in my possesion... I think it's Stunts.

i remember bards tale what a great game

hey what was your favorit game ???

[Gurm]

Cancer...

Wow, you make me feel old. You are aware that Syndicate Wars is based on the earlier game Syndicate, right? (And the original was a better game, IMHO). Wow.

Dune 1? I was already working writing video games when that one came out, we were pretty impressed. (Then, of course, we got our prerelease copies of Doom 1, and got NOTHING ELSE DONE for about a week!)

merchant2112: gotta be ULTIMA III and IV. and also this other game that's similar.. forgot.. hm... something ...tron. another RPG.

[ahartman]

Tron was a fantastic coin-op. Even the follow-up Tron Discs was great.

Man, I remember when I had the reflexes to play video games... Nowadays, they're a buck a play and I live about 45 seconds... Anyway, back to PC games!

Speaking of the Atari, I know the 2600 isn't a PC but remember Yar's Revenge? Oh wait, I said back to PC games... Sorry.

[ObiBen]

Still have Chuck Yeager's air combat. That's the oldest game I have for the PC. Next up is Wolfenstein 3D.

I've still got the console for an original Pong.....hasn't worked in ages but makes a great conversation piece......kind of like all the old LP records I've got stashed away (actually I've been ripping them into MP3's of late....)

On the PC side, I think the oldest I've got is the original F15 Strike Eagle and Gunship. God, I use to spend hours flying that chopper around, 6-8 hour missions, pure fun, simple interface, just go out and smoke the bad guys.

[cancer]

oldest game, well i won't win any awards here, but i have a original copy of betrayal of krondor (can you believe that raymond e. recently published a book on this game thinking he pass it off as a new book and that we'll all forgotten about game... huh! back then he still wrote good material...not any more). also got a original copy of syndicate wars, still very playable. think i still got a copy of deathtrack on 5inch floating about. ever try playing this game on a p3, whoooa be careful not to blink or you'll miss 3 laps... love those big ass caltrops.

Muad'Dib ah you wouldn't be um a frank herbert fan? yeah i'd love a copy of dune 1, used to have it myself until the disk died...
cheers.

i don't know which came first but i loved that game. i used to walk around 'brainwashing' everyone one with the persuadatron until all the people in the city were following my band of corporate thugs. it was nice being able to walk up to building and waste it in about a second from the collective firepower. unfortunately the average civvy wasn't well armoured so they used to end up being a big red puddle at my agents feet. hehe.
another old favourite was civilisation I/II, the first was good because you could change the text in the start up intro. it was fun having friends around while starting up the game and watching their eyes go wide as the intro abused them. hehe.
another sid meyer favourite was colonisation, if you have ever played this game you'll know what i mean when i refer to the incas & aztecs as 'the bank' that used to give on the spot loans in the time of need. unfortunately the other natives didn't appreciate your method of 'withdrawing' funds. Hehe
you’re a mega-lo-maniac…hehe, you know when something’s wrong when you start to refer to yourself in the third person….
cheers.

Somewhere around here I have my dad's monopoly board game. I think it's from the 50's.
