frogger (1981) arcade machine at the local barcade, i think. sadly the place went out of business a little while back.

Probably the ancient pong machine my grandfather had.

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

Thorry84 ,

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.

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.

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.

Just finished playing through Zelda lttp on my miyoo mini+

Digger © 1983 Windmill Software

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digger_(video_game)

This is the game from my family’s PC AT that I go back to regularly,. But for convenience I usually use the WinDig port:

Windig, the Windows 95 version of Digger Remastered (87K). This version is rather new. If you are having trouble with it, try the older version (95K).

www.digger.org/download.html

I just used web archive to check and it looks like the 87K version and its description as “rather new” has been there for 21 years now. It was built to target Windows 95 and is still working on Windows 11 so at this point i would say its “pretty stable”.

Digger and Paratrooper were probably the first two games I ever played. Both still hold up.

Oldest game I’ve this year: wikipedia.org/wiki/Astro_Warriorhttps://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/43e8e03e-f0f7-4486-b846-9cc15b01318b.gif
on Steam Deck

I’m a bit bummed the question wasn’t about the oldest game I’ve ever played (as I misread it at first), but that would be:

I was just playing the original Zork on Frotz.
So I’m pretty sure I win :-)

I hear glowing reviews of frotz.

ramble81 ,

I was playing Bubble Bobble on an NES emulator, so… 1988

variants ,

Trying to finish pokemon emerald on my game boy micro. I mostly play at family gatherings

RightHandOfIkaros ,

Oldest I have played during this year? Or oldest I have played up until this year?

HexagonSun OP ,

Oldest this year.

But maybe up until this year, or in the last 5 years would have been the more interesting question.

SteveFromMySpace ,

Paper Mario is a recent one…probably something older but i’ll just stick with that

dhork ,

I play NetHack regularly, but maybe that doesn’t count because it’s under active development again so the most recent stable drop is from last year.

SteveFromMySpace ,

Now that is interesting. I’d say since it’s the same game just updated it counts 🤷‍♂️
