Lunar Lander?

A good question would be, "What is the oldest video game you still play"? Mine would be Civilization 2.

Hrm, probably Earthbound for SNES. I'm trying to find a good NES emulator that works with 2000/XP so I can play Earthbound Zero.

I'm working on beating Splatterhouse for Turbo Grafix 16. I've gotten really close.

Nesticle works for me in win2k.

Heh - I played that, too. I remember I was never able to beat the game because it was so darn tough. About two years ago, however, I downloaded an emulator and the game and beat it the second time I tried.

Can't remember for sure, but if I had to wager, I'd say it was Super Mario Brothers, on the neighbor's NES when I was ~7. Those were the days .

 

[memo]

CAT on DOS or Keystone Koppers on Atari

 

[thomsbrain]

probably super mario bros.

 

[cronos]

can't remember the titles, but they are on Sinclair ZX-81. you have to load the program with a cassette tape. this was 1982

the one that i still remember the title is Space Invader on Atari, this is probably 1985 or something.

Edit: actually, i did remember playing Pong in the early 80s. i know that it's not mine though, probably belong to one of my uncles who are only a few years older than i was.

pac man on an arcade machine at the barbershop

 

[MustISO]

Pong (some time in the 70's) when I was a young lad.

 

[Tremulant]

Some stupid rabbit game on an Apple IIe.

As for console, Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt/Excitebike/1942 on NES. I love those games.

 

[Holycrap]

This will really date me...it was a maze game on the original Magnavox Odyssey game system...predating the first home pong machines....there was just a dot on the screen and you had to lay plastic screens on your tv set to be able to play the games.

 

[Aftermath]

Bruce Lee, for Commodore 64.

At least I think so. It might've been Ghostbusters for the 64.

 

[T3C]

Mario on nintendo

Combat on the Atari 2600. It came with the console.

I also had that pong video game system. Had a paddle on each side... I think it was silver colored?

I remember Space Invaders and Asteroids too on the 2600. Man those were some fun times... I guess I'm old.

[aircooled]

Console: Pong on the pre-2600 console in the mid 70's
Arcade: Space Invaders, late 70's

 

[btz0013]
