The oldest game you have?

[F93]

What's the oldest computer game you have, and can still play on a computer?

(Sorry if its a repost)

Mine is London Racer from 1999, very primitive graphics, physics thought up from nowhere, and funnily enough, its Dutch.

Still playable though, although I can't finish the story as it can't 'colormap' a car, which is a shame.

Probably Reach for the Skies or B17 Flying Fortress on the PC, circa 1992, 93. I was a pretty geeky 6 year old.

[Steve Evil]

Still got my master system and games for that, quick google suggests that Secret Command on that was made in 1986, so that's only 4 years younger than me.

Freddie Hardest or transport tycoon - classic!

[tim2100]

Transport Tycoon also or Warzone 2100

[Dave^]

SportsCar GT and Grandprix Legends for the PC..... think they were about at the same time (ish)

Oh, and the first Colin McRae Rally.....

GPL works on XP, not sure about the other two....

Civilisation 2

(i've been playing it recently)

[dwilkie]

The original XCom from 1993, I was playing it yesterday infact!

Current favourite old game though has to be Crusader: No Remorse (1995)

Zelda, link to the past on SNES emulator. Absolutely epic game.

[The_Jackal]

Not the oldest but I stil have the original Flashpoint series of games, which still hold their own even in todays standards

[plasticpig]

Not cheating the original Civilization. Cheating slightly because I need to use a emulator this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0FsOxtIwRc which is 1981. I do still have the original disc!

Laser squad on a Comodore Emulator.

Awesome turn based strategy game.

[TheLemming]

Time to google dates...

I submit the original "Crescent Hawk's Inception". Unplayable as the disc drives for the big floppies dont exist (even if the discs were still fine).

Original gameboy Tetris? Got a couple of copies (and a pair of original Gameboys)

Edited to add, 1988 for the Crescent Hawks and 1989 for Tetris according to Wikipedia

I've only got old games on the PC, I got fed up years ago with having to upgrade all the time to keep with the current stuff and bought a console.

Anyway, on my shelf I have...

Transport Tycoon Deluxe
Deus Ex
Star Wars Supremacy
Half Life
Carmageddon
Carmageddon 2
Carmageddon TDR 2000
Dune 2000
Motorcross Madness
and a raft of football manager games

Better on the Amstrad Emulator - especially the added missions....
(is it overkill to use a 2.33 Ghz Quad Core 4 Gig ram computer to run a game then ran on a 4 mhz Z80 64K one? )

That is a truly fantastic game - have also been playing it a bit recently.

I still play some real antiques, e.g Alpha Centauri, Settlers 2, X-Com Apocalypse regularly, but my oldest is almost certainly the first Doom (albeit a Win95 version).

[rsv gone!]

I still have a BBC micro in my parents loft so have Elite and so on
