What's the oldest one you've played? It has to be the original old game, not a remade version for a newer system.

I played the original Pong a few times. The one with a knob, not even the joystick-like thing.

I think the oldest I played was Mario on the NES I was like 6 years old.

wow. the oldest game iv'e ever played was Final Fantasy 1 for the NES.
we had just bought an NES from a yard sale for 5 bucks, and we were eager to try it out.
but it didn't come with any good games, so for awhile we didn't use it. then one of
my brother's freinds let us boorow a bunch of his old NES games, and guess which one i played first? FF, OF COURSE!!! it was a happy occasion for me.

Does the original Zork count?

Bobbynibbles : I guess it would technically count, as it wasn't really what we think of as computer games.

hypermonkey : Um, it was a game on a computer. Computer-Game.

Uh... Pac-Man, I guess... (and I have played the old arcade cabinet version)

My grandfather used to have an oddesy system so I played that some, Nearly impossible to play now though.

Bobbynibbles : I realize that, but what I'm saying is that it wouldn't really be considered as such today.

Video game- A video game is an electronic game that involves interaction with a user interface to generate visual feedback on a video device.

But if we are being technical and breaking things down into their specialised feilds, then there are video/console games, pc/computer games and arcade games.

hypermonkey : Zork would count as a computer game. It always has. It wouldn't be considered a video/console game though
So it doesn't count for this thread, because it's a computer game not a video game.
Neither does any games in arcade cabinets

The oldest video game I have played IRL was probally something on the Atari 2600.
Not that I remember what it was because I was just testing the console.

And for no reason, I'll cover the other two.
The oldeset arcade game I played I think was space invaders (in the cabinet, hence me saying arcade).
The oldest computer game I have played? I have no idea. I'll just say Zork as well

DarkHyren : OK, I guess that'll work then. I was trying to say something else, but what you said actually makes tons more sense.

then it would have to be something on the Atari. I think my step-dad still have his atari.

That most be pokemon red version.

I remember playing the 4-player pong-like game where you had to defend your blocks from the ball... it has the turny paddle so it must have been for Atari.

The oldest video game that I've played is the original pong

Let me think umm it has to be Atari pong if not then Legend of Zelda on NES.

I played pacman, people on ebay are selling their ataris for 100$!
