Was playing a bit of Stunt Car Racer for the Amiga this week, from 1989, and wondered how far back people are going!

I was playing Bubble Bobble on an NES emulator, so… 1988
I start a playthrough of the Quest for Glory series at least once a year - always with the ill-fated goal of playing through the entire series in order with one character. This is because you can actually save your character and import it into the next game and the correct way to play a paladin requires playing the first two games just right. I’ve never played the final game because it came out much later than the first four…
Someday!
Chess. It’s over 1500 years old!
Played some Go today.
Eh, I prefer Mancala then any off your new fangled ‘board’ games
I believe it but is there evidence for this? I know there were reports of chess games on the middle ages, but earlier than that? Chess with modern rules I mean.
My gaming extends decades ago, with an Atari 2600 and the arcade era of the early 80s. Returned to gaming a few years ago and I’m playing Oregon Trail for the first time. Oh, and it’s on my Steam deck.
Galaxy 5000 (1991). Not the oldest in this thread by far, but I’ve never heard anyone talk about it and it’s actually a really decent racing game for its time.
Super Mario Bros. 3 from 1988 for the NES.
I’ve been dipping my toe into the mating game with minimal success. They really haven’t done much to improve it since I last played.
Don’t know if it counts but, “Game of Life” (1970) on “The Powder Toy” (2008).
Moon Patrol on the Atari 2600 (Emulated on my Steam Deck). I’m not giving away my age by posting this at all…
Woah.
Moon patrol. I used to plug so many quarters into moon patrol.
Thanks for the nostalgia! :)
I tend to not go that far back usually, mostly hovering around the mid 90’s and 2000’s with my retrogaming, but does it count if I’ve played some rounds of NES Tetris?
I’m currently reading a fantasy book from 1984 if that doesn’t count.
Pong
For 2024: 1994 with Final Fantasy 3(6j) back in Feb.
Currently 1997 with Final Fantasy Tactics since I heard the remaster rumor.
Seems like I’ve been on a FF kick.
Yeah, I’d actually only ever played VII and VIII before recently.
Now I seem to be going backwards through the series. Played VII, VI, and now V, where I currently find myself doing some rather boring endgame grinding to try to defeat the final boss battle.
The job system is one of the series strong points overall but it does end up requiring a lot more grinding than otherwise. Multiple kinds of leveling can be like that.
FF2 NES is the true grindfest though. Everything requires grinding in that, even hp.
super smash bros melee (2001) but only bc the online they added in 2020 is so fucking good
Wait whatttt
I’m interested too
DMG Gameboy Kirby Dreamland. My youngest loves it and it’s REALLY hard to lose so he doesn’t need a ton of help.

Playing 2600 on original hardware is pretty awesome.
