    The oldest game I play is
    Impossible Mission - Epyx - 1984
    I play it on PC using a Commodore 64 emulator.
    It's one of the greatest games ever: actions & puzzles, about 2 hours of enjoyment every time I play!

    Probably one of the Megaman games for NES. Those games are classic! I would also be playing Civ II: Test of Time but the only person I know with the CD moved away about a month before I got a CD burner. :(

    Mmmh...the oldest game I currently play would be "Adventure"/"Colossal Cave Adventure", which I think happens to be the very first Adventure game...

    The oldest game I play regularly would be some pretty old games from my Adventure Game collection ("LOOM", "The Secret of Monkey Island" "King's QUest V", "King's Quest VI", and some others.), and also the Shareware version of "ROBOT" (One day I will get the full version...one day...at least of the third one: "The Island of Holy Trial"...I'm going to walk up to the homepage, and when it asks "Cu isz u cu il?" I will reply "Ta.", and for 15 gold nuggets, I will complete the game!!!)


    Also, I get out my old AMIGA (590) at least onece a year, and play the old games like "Titus the Fox", "Treasure Island Dizzy", "Giana Sisters", "Rick Dangerous", "The Swords and the Roses", and all the wonderful games we have.

    Ultima VII: The Black Gate (1992) probably takes it. I played Ultima IV quite a bit last summer, when Windows Me broke and I couldn't play BGII, but I completed it. I've got the original Civilisation & Dune II around somewhere, too... I have to get those out again some time; after exams methinks! With so many good, old games knocking about, it'd be criminal to leave them gathering dust, wouldn't it? :p

    Zork is the oldest game I play, unless one of my other text based games is older? Dunno...but Zork is definately up there at the top!

    The computer that we have at the family cottage has Jeopardy and Family Fued games dating back to the mid 80s on it.

    Apart from those I play an old version of Hoyle Classic Card Games, Civ2 and MoO2 quite regularly.

    Every once in a while I reinstall and replay the first CRPG I ever had - Bard's Tale. It is a bit crude and simplistic but I still like it.

    Civilization I. This and Heroes of Might and Magic 3 are probably the games I play most regularly, but Civ is quite a bit older :)

    For Christmas, my brother was given one of those controllers that plugs directly into the t.v. and lets you play Pong in all of its low graphical quality glory.

    Ironically, it seems to crash quite frequently. Yep, in thirty years we have come so far that we can't even make a working Pong game anymore. :lol:

    Actually I don't play that regularly, but it is one of the oldest games so I thought I'd throw it in.

    In order to play new games I'd have to uppgrade my PC, but the old ones I have are great. :)

    Alpha Centauri, Civ II/III, Fallout I/II, BG I/II, HoMM III/IV.
