I have Combat, Street Racer and Video Olympics for the 2600. All were launch titles.

Asteroids for the vcs. Now I just need a console to play it on. Probably the oldest game I have the hardware for is donkey kong on the nes. Which I believe was a launch title for the system in western regions.

The only way to deactivate the ray beam and fight back the vampire alien threat is with a complicated series of foot patterns on the device's control board that looks remarkably like a DDR pad. We will all praise this man for saving our lives and buy him a mountain of stuffed animals.

Atari 2600 Combat would be the oldest I have now. The oldest ones I got back in the day were an Odyssey² and Touch Me handheld.

I guess mine would be Combat (though mine is a picture label) as well. Some of my other Atari 2600 games would also be contender.
NES, SNES, PS1, N64, DC, PS2, GCN, Wii, PS3, 360, GB, GBC, GBA, GBA SP, PSP 3000, and 3DS XL

Put me in with the Combat crowd.

Although this handheld was also released in 1977:

The oldest game I have is a Microvision Block Buster game. Looks sort of like this.
