I have a huge collection of old games/consoles. The oldest, I think, is cartridge 1 for the Magnavox Odyssey

oldest ever in inventory has to be space Invaders for odyssey 2.

For PC...hmmm that must be Albion (1996). We didn't get a computer till 1998, and I got my very own computer in 2001. I bought the game in a "used stuff" store. Now, the wear and tear has made the CD almost un-usable. BUT I have like 2 million backups made of it since it's an almost impossible game to get a hold of these days.

I have a box of 2600 games, but counting games I still play today, I'd say Shadowrun on SNES, still fire that up on occasion. Of games I play regularly, probably Fallout is the oldest.

Edit: ^ Atari 2600, I mean... not 2,600 games in a box lol

I used to have some 2600 games, but the ex took it with her to california. So I guess my oldest game that I've played in the past year would be Zelda.

Try DOSBox. TES Arena doesn't work on XP either, unless you have DOSBox or something similar - you just have to make sure the settings are fine to make it run smoothly.

oh my word, how I love that game! I used to play it so much. Never beat it though. I remember how much I hated that 60 minute time limit. But I think you could start at any level?

I just downloaded Scorched Earth.

I have Mario1/Duck Hunt, which is probably my oldest. We used to have an atari... don't remember which version. Who knows where taht thing went

I think we still have our old Acorn Electron sitting in the loft, with some of the games...can't remember the names, there was a motorbike one. Playing games off of cassette tapes for the win!

We used to have an Amiga 500, but my Dad sold it on ebay a couple of years ago (we needed the money. ) I think we still have the old games, which would be: Worms, Secret of Monkey Island, Monkey Island 2: Le Chuck's Revenge, Theme Park, Elite Frontier, Gunship 2000, Desert Strike, Lotus Challenge 2, a Rollercoaster Buggy game (can't remember the name of the game), James Pond: Robocod, Fire and Ice, Hook: The Game, Push Over and plenty of others I can't remember.

I had 'Day of the Tentacle' once, but I'm not sure what happened to it.

[Edit]

How could I forget Zool?
