The one on DOS before the TV show.

 

[The funny green filly]

In my early childhood, my first game was Super Mario Bros. 1, so that is the oldest game I knew of at the time.

Of course now that I know more about games, I can think of older stuff, but the oldest I can think of is Tennis for 2.

The first video game I ever played was an old pong based game my Dad brought home. I wish i could remember the model but it had to be real early 80's

 

[tinsmith]

The oldest game I can remember playing was Night Stalker for the Intellivision, which was the first system I had as a kid.

However, the oldest game that I know of is Tennis for Two from 1958 that played on an oscilloscope. It's actually got quite the history of anyone cares to read the Wikipedia article. I did a little research on this one for a zine that never got published, but I admit that I've only ever played an emulator version.

Burger Time for Atari 800, great game.

Burger Time for Atari 800, great game.

Burger Time is one of my all time favorites. Doesn't matter what platform, I'll play it. I just realized GOG has the newer Super Burger Time arcade game. At first I hated it and then, when I figured out the mechanics of the game, I fell in love with it. It's faster paced than the original, but still a load of fun (once you're done cussing at the screen).

Super Breakout for the Atari 2600.

 

[win2kgamer]

Oldest computer game I've played is probably Mystery House on the Apple II and the oldest console game I've played is Space Invaders on the Atari 2600.
