    Default What's the oldest game you played?

    As in its year of release in your country of origin. There, I just made this thread loads easier.

    Pong for me. Released in 1972. Just two paddles and a dot. It was a different time. A simpler time.

    Discuss.

    Probably Spacewar!. 1961/1962. Obviously I didn't play it on the original computer because I think only one is known to exist but it was the same game, using the original code. It is not an easy game.

    Solstice on the NES. It wasn't for a boy at 6 years of age. I tried though. It has to be up there with the hardest games of all time.

    Wouldn't surprise me if Go were even older than chess. Not that I've played it

    I think Tetris would be mine.

    Damn, how'd you play that? I didn't think video games hit public consumption until the 70's.

    The source code was made public several decades after release so you can play it emulated.
