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.

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

I need to get it working.
