What is the oldest video game in your collection?

I have a Fairchild Channel F from 1976. The first system with ROM based cartridges. It's not too bad actually. Slightly better than a pong machine, a little worse than the early Atari cartridges. Controllers are one of a kind.


I'd like to fill in my collection of 2nd generation video game consoles. I have everything but the Bally Astrocade and Arcadia 2001.

Combat as well. Surprised that this is the most popular one so far.

I have a Hometronics Telecourt TV Game (Pong clone) from 1977. Still works too.

[Lone Wanderer]

Solar Striker on gameboy.

[BRIK]

F1 Race for Game Boy (1990). lol I feel so young.

Ahem.


AS far as the one I've owned the longest, it is an Atari 2600 game called Astroblast. I've owned it since I was 4 and I didn't have an Atari at the time.

That's freaking awesome! The only way to top that is to own an actual working PDP-1 computer (half a room sized computer from the 60s) with a copy of the original Space War! on it.

Thanks! Thats the crown jewel of my collection. The only way it could be more epic is if I got Ralph Baer to sign it. I was actually set to bring it a few places where Ralph was supposed to be only to find out that it was a video conference....

Didn't he pass away not too long ago?

[weaponepsilon]

Nope, I heard he was still kicking as of March when I saw him on a video conference at Midwest Gaming Classic. I would still love to meet him.
