I have an MSX from 1984 permanently setup on my desk. I use it regularly to play some old games. So about 1983-1984 games are the oldest I play often.

Just went to a videogame museum, they had the original Asteroids on the Atari 2600, from 1980. My favourite though was the Star Wars Racer arcade machine, it was even paired up with another one for multiplayer!

Hmm… in my case the oldest game I’ve been playing recently is a fan translation of “Metal Max Returns” a 1995 SNES remake of a 1991 Famicom game.

Probably one of the machines at a nearby arcade. Pin-bot is mid-80s and I play that one a lot. There’s a couple from closer to the 50s as well.

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!?

Missile Command is a 1980 shoot 'em up arcade video game developed and published by Atari, Inc. and later licensed to Sega for Japanese and European releases.

On the actual arcade machine as well, with the huge ball “mouse”.

Felt challenging, but also how it would be kinda trivial with a mouse and keyboard.

Chess. It’s over 1500 years old!

Oldest game I’ve actually played this year would probably be a bit of Ultima IV: Quest for the Avatar, 1985.

This thread reminds me I need to get over to Funspot. They’ve got a great collection of classic arcade and pinball machines. Web site claimed 600 games, but some of that is newer stuff, or mechanical games like Skiball and Wack-a-mole, which aren’t video games. Probably 300 vintage units, though. Haven’t made a pilgrimage this calendar year, though, so it doesn’t count.

Had to look it up to check its dates as a kid they only sold rip-off NES machines here, but the oldest game, i enjoyed playing, I found by date was Dig Dug, 2D game where you dig tunnels to get to all the enemies and defeat them by what I can only describe as throwing a bicycle pump nozzle into their mouths and pumping it until the enemy pops like a balloon.

There is the usual like Super Mario Brothers, Contra and I recall playing something where I think Diddy Kong throws barrels and “mario” has to avoid it to save the tied up princess behind diddy can’t recall the name

There is also Bomberman, Lode Runner, Double Dragon( specifically 2), Arkanoid, Ice climber (co-op) and a game I really enjoyed called Operation Wolf

Oldest original game is most probably Pac Man, but prefered the “3D”-like one which allowed pac man to jump in the maze which is newer.

Edit:

My bad, oldest game played in 2024, hmmm, Heroes of Might and Magic 1
