[Dezzy]

I still have my original Battle Arena Toshinden that came with my PS1 as a pack-in. I have a bunch of other old PS1 games but that's my oldest.

 

[GearDraxon]

Not my image, but I still have this, somewhere:

 

[Stiler]

I still have some old pc games, I know I got the police quest games and some older adventure games like space quest, etc.

Also have Daggerfall tucked away somewhere and some ultima's.

 

[fester]

I have a few loose games that are older (SMB, Zelda) but this is only boxed NES game to survive my childhood:

 

[Imbarkus]

I still have three RCA Studio II games with their original boxes. 1977.

 

[TaterTots]

I have the original Game Boy with a Zelda game at my parents somewhere. Still works.

 

[RowdyReverb]

I have my first game, Super Mario Bros. / Duck Hunt for NES. Probably got it in 1992, so that's like 25 years

I think everybody owned that game. Its trade-in value was literally $0.10 at Funcoland in the late 90s

 

[Alex Anderson]

Super Mario/Duck Hunt for me too. Late 80s when I got an NES as a tyke. Although, I got several 19 cent copies from Funcoland back in the day because why not so I wouldn't know which was my original.

 

[glimmerman]

JetPac - ZX Spectrum, 1983, on cassette.

First game I bought with the micro. Awesome game, made by Ultimate Play The Game before they became Rare.

 

[orborborb]

Milon's Secret Castle with original box and manual, I traded my first game, Metroid, for it (and I still love it, though not as much as Metroid which cost me $70 to replace awhile ago)

 

[momshotdad]

Super Mario World. Had it since 1995 I believe.

 

[Spiritwalker]

Final Fantasy VII. Not exactly a super interesting post, I know.

 

[Jimm]

Unfortunately I don't have any old PC games from my childhood, but the oldest thing it probably my Pokemon Red Blue and Yellow carts. Though I did re buy complete copies, I still have my original carts.

 

[NoMoreTrolls]

Rock band 1 for Xbox 360. I normally clean house when I upgrade to a new console gen, but I figured I'd keep it in case I needed it to unlock content in any future RB titles.

 

[Host Samurai]

Can't find any of my NES games and the only game that has turned up is this steaming pile of shit that was in the console. I don't know why it's in there cuz I hated it.

 

[Vince DiCola]

One of my Mega Drive or Master System games.
Probably Sonic 1 on Master System, I owned the Master System for a year or two before I owned my own Mega Drive

 

[Klotera]

Unfortunately, my NES games got sold/given away at some point (though I've re-bought a number of them).

So, the oldest physical game that's stayed with me is probably Columns for Game Gear.

 

[EricB]

I just sold off/gave away a bunch of my old boxed PC games over the summer, and I traded in most of my SNES/Genesis stuff to get an original PlayStation upon release.

From the PlayStation era, I still have my original Castlevania Symphony of the Night and Chrono Cross. I still haven't finished Chrono Cross.

I'm not much of a collector (just Falcom and Dragon Quest stuff these days), and I much prefer getting rid of physical things in favor of digital given the option. Less to dust and worry about.

 

[SatoAilDarko]

Super Mario World and Super Mario All-Stars

 

[dickroach]

I sold all my NES/SNES/N64/GB/PS1 games on eBay last year. but one game didn't sell. Foresaken on the N64. so I just kind of kept it. so... that

 

[mitch1971]

Baldurs Gate PC.

 

[Dabanton]

I have tons of Sega Saturn games my prize being 2 copies of Panzer Dragoon Saga

 

[Arcanus]

The first system I ever owned was the Nintendo 64 my parents got for me (the NES and SNES were belonged to my older brother) so I still have it along with my original copy of Super Mario 64 and Cruis'n USA.

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

I still have the first games I ever got, Prince of persia and street fighter 1 for dos.

I think it would have been 1990.

Pop is one of the greatest games ever made, and sf1 is an awful port of a poor game.

 

[Bandit1]

Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando (2003)

 

[kunonabi]

I believe my snes copy of FFII has been in my collection the longest. That or a copy of the original Metroid II.

Dont have hardware to play either since i sold my snes and have a super famicom now.

 

[sfog]

Probably GB Tetris and Super Mario Land from around 91 or so as a "shut the kids up in the car" solution. I also have an SNES from around 92, with several early releases (SMW and F-Zero), although I'm pretty sure the GB came first for me chronologically.

I did have an NES as well from 1990, but donated it to a friend some years later and no longer have any of its games.

 

[old]

Gold cartridge Zelda NES.

 

[Calm Killer]

All of my NES games.

 

[andylsun]

Probably Llamasoft Gridrunner for the VIC-20. It's in my box of stuff in the basement. Think it came out in 82? Was the first game I bought for my first computer.

 

[Jaraghan]

Got a bunch of SNES games that my dad bought when I was a kid. But for my own purchases, I think GTAIV was my first game I bought with my own money and I still have it.

 

[Gen X]

I still have The Last Ninja on cassette from 1987. I bought it because the disk version was sold out everywhere (and I went to dozens of places across UK such as Brighton, Cardiff, Basingstoke, London as I was there on holiday) then on my last day there I found the disk version 😂

 

[dubc35]

Renegade on NES. I should play that tonight.

 

[DrKelpo]

Kirby's Dream Land 2, I think

 

[Crowh]

Like 7 Atari 2600 games, Berzerk is my favorite.

 

[Hispanic! At the Disco]

Metroid 2 is the only thing older than 10 years I own still.

I hate metroid 2.

 

[TreasureHunterG]

My Ninja Gaiden II NES cart. Around since 1991.

 

[PHOENIXZERO]

I still have my Super Mario Brothers/Duck Hunt cartridge for some reason.

 

[mattysaurus]

Conan the Barbarian for NES. Picked it out for my 7th birthday way back in '92 from the video rental store. I chose poorly.

Not my first game, but the only one I can definitely say I've had the longest. I had to replace a bunch of stuff when I split games with my bro, and I lost maybe half-a-dozen nes games when I let my best friend's nephew borrow them when I was in high school (including my favorite nes game, Crystalis, which was a good memory of my father... really wish I still had that particular copy).

 

[Cyrus_Saren]

Hook for the SNES.

 

[FrankCanada97]

Probably SimCity 4 Deluxe Edition. I still reinstall it once in a while whenever I get that city-building itch.

 

[Almond]

My SNES I had as a kid and all my games, including most original boxes.

 

[kamakazi5]

No games left more than 8 or so years old. I do have a PSOne with the screen that I picked up around 13-14 years ago.

 

[mindatlarge]

Metroid for NES. It's the only surviving NES game I have from my childhood.

 

[Thoraxes]

I still have a shitload of Intellevision games my dad gave me as a kid.

 

[Taliban Stan]

StarFox 64.

I broke my NES like a stupid idiot, but other than that I've got most of the games I've owned that that weren't stolen from me or me being in a nice mood and giving them away to someone less fortunate (which I sadly regret... I really wish I still had my Genesis and all of it's games).

 

[Silvergun-Blue]

My Saturn stuff. Anything I owned previously was traded in against the next console in line and I've had a job since the late '90's so that allowed me to keep older games.
Worked out quite well too, as the Saturn stuff is by far the most collectable these days.

 

[The ๖ۜBronx]

F-Zero, I think.

 

[mrchad]

Super Mario Bros. + Duck Hunt

This right here.

 

[namabiiru]

Sonic the Hedgehog 2. It was my first game, and I still have it. So 1992. We have a bunch of Atari 2600 games too, but those are my dads and most Atari games suck.

I also think I have a Wolfenstein 3D shareware floppy around here somewhere.
