Has no one here played Super Mario Bros? 1985… or donkey Kong? 1981. Pac-Man? 1980. Space invaders? 1978. So many classics, all playable today with MAME or even still working systems or perfect emulation!

I’m moving house this week and unearthed my galaxy invader 1000 handheld. Had to play a couple rounds on the spot! Apparently from 1980.

I definitely played SMB this year. I may have played Pac-Man.

But I also played mancala which is 8,000 years old.

For 2024: 1994 with Final Fantasy 3(6j) back in Feb.

Currently 1997 with Final Fantasy Tactics since I heard the remaster rumor.

Seems like I’ve been on a FF kick.

Cadillacs and Dinosaurs from 1993 on real arcade machine.

I went to a gamestop a few months ago to see if they had any games for my Gameboy Advance. The dude at the register said I might have better luck at the “retro game” store in the next town over. I nearly spit out my Crystal Pepsi at him.

I just played Mancala the other day which may be up to 8,000 years old.

My daughter and I played with a ball today. It looks like Mancala might be old as balls!?

Lost_My_Mind ,

I don’t know man…my balls are pretty old.

…did I misread the situation?

Oldest game I’ve played this year is Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2005) Ps2 emulated on my phone and played with ds5 via bluetooth

Lost_My_Mind ,

PS2 is your OLDEST played game??? Oh god. Oh, I think I should just invest in a walker before prices go up…

I still play Super Mario 64 if various rom hacks count.

Lost_My_Mind ,

…

looks at my grey hair

Yes. Yes you certainly do exist grey hair. I’ll be in the closet crying if anybody needs me.

Pong. Which is argueably the first ever video game. It’s a square, which represents a ball, because circles were too advanced for that time period, and its bounding between two rectantgles which defend the ball from getting past them. It’s essentially ping pong, but I guess the hardware couldn’t handle the ping, only the pong.

sic_semper_tyrannis ,

I was playing Falcon 3 on DOS. 1991

Besides that I played some Bosconian from the arcade, 1981 and 1943: Battle for Midway on the arcade, 1987

There was a Star Wars text adventure game on the Apple II released in 1979 that I used to play. I’ve been searching for the code from that game for a long time I finally found it again just this month. Part way through my efforts to convert it to javascript I realized I hadn’t bothered looking for an actual emulator for Applesoft Basic… Sure enough, they exist (jsbasic on github), so I now have that running on my server. Yay, good memories!

I went to Sakura Con this year and they had a Quick & Crash arcade cabinet from 1999.

It’s not the oldest game I’ve played this year, but it was definitely the most interesting!

Level 4 has a mug you shoot that appears to really explode

The effect is incredibly convincing!

Tap for spoilerThe secret is the real mug is pulled down very fast and real chunks of mug are shot up simultaneously

Day of the Tentacle (1993). Admittedly, it was the remastered version from 2016 which has more modern controls, but the game is exactly the same as the old one.

It was fascinating to look at it again with more mature eyes: besides the fact that it feels a bit dated as a whole, it was funny to me to notice how much humanity loves time travel stories.

It’s not that this game is doing anything different in that regard, it’s just that I thought about how much media exists on the subject (and has been very successful).

Anyhow, although dated, the game is brilliant and wholesome and made me wonder which are the best (and recent) graphic adventure games
