What is the oldest PC Game you own?

[Double Trouble]

I think if I remember correctly it was the original "Zork". I might have had some older games before then (maybe one called "saipan" was older), but Zork and "Mummy's curse" were the games I started on. I had them on my Apple II.....

Edit: I'd love to show my wife the original Kings Quest. If someone has it available (assuming the thing even runs on modern PC's), drop me a PM!

LHX Attack Chopper (1990). I'm convinced the manual took more time to prepare than the game itself.


(great thread, BTW)

Wizardry.... now there's a blast from the past. I spent way too much time being a geek playing that game with fellow geeks

 

[Metalloid]

I'm not sure...

the first games I ever owned were Doom, Kings Quest II, and the Original Sim City...

 

[nan0bug]

For my PC the oldest games I have are Archon, Microsoft JET (not the database, its an old school jet fighter program) and this game where you're an alleycat (dont remember the name of it but its pretty fun, if you can get past the cga graphics).

I have more but those are probbably the oldest, not counting text adventures and stuff.. I have over a gigabyte of old school warez backed up on tape from my BBS days. One of these days I'm going to dig out my old Tandy 3000 and have some fun.

f-19 stealth fighter.

man I loved that game!

 

[SunnyD]

F-19 Stealth Fighter would be my oldest retail game. CBU FAE bombs and Mavericks all the way.

Also had Silent Service 2, Railroad Tycoon (The original Microprose one), and I think the Commander Keen games.

Ohhhh I used to be addicted to the shareware version of that. I also had it for the Sega Genesis. Ahh the memories.

 

[Skyclad1uhm1]

Castle, Nethack and Moria probably.

 

[dighn]

descent 2

not that old actually but it's one of the first games i've ever played

 

[Linflas]

For the PC I have to guess either Bards Tale, Ultima VI, or Nethack. For the Atari ST the oldest game is Zork 1 text adventure. I know I have copies of Adventure and some Star Treks that ran on a VAX on a 6250 BPI backup tape but without dropping some cash that tape is pretty much worthless in 2003.

 

[KhoiFather]

The ONE and only Pacman!!!! Woooohoooo!!!!!

 

[Confused]

My oldest game I own is probably something like Carmageddon

Min. sys requirements are something like P75, 16mb ram etc...damn i'm a n00b


Confused

 

[thunderhorse]

Wolfenstein 3D, 5 1/2" floppy. Goes with my 486-DX4 100. Timeless. Keep the shiny side up and the dirty side down.

EDIT: Does GORILLA.BAS count?

Cheers!

oh how i miss basic.
i think i actually made an effort to get that game and later nibbles from my friend becuase my computer had an older system that came with basic but not the games. then i edited the code on both so that i had some obscene number of lives...like 99999999 or something.
ah, the memories!
