Over the years I've given or thrown away nearly all my older games but I still have my copy of the 1991 Genesis title, Starflight.



I still have the cartridge, box, manual, and included star map poster despite not owning a Genesis any more. I think I kept it because it's one of the few video games my dad and I played all the way through together when I was a kid.

What's your oldest game? What condition is it in? Why have you held on to it?

ETA: I'm a liar. Just realized I still have my original (working) Gameboy with Tetris and several other games. None of those games are that special to me, though, so I always forget about it.

91? I thought better of you. I don't know the oldest but I still have a lot of NES games from the 80's. I don't plan on parting with them.

I know, right? I kind of surprise myself but I gave my NES and all of its games to my brother back when I got a Genesis and then I gave all of my Genesis games away (save the one mentioned above) to one of my cousins for Christmas. I had moved on to PC gaming and his family was having money problems.

I do, of course, have my Raspberry Pi to play them but I still wish I had kept some of them.

ETA: Just realized I still have my original Gameboy and Tetris. Added it to the original post.

I actually still have mine too, though I don't have many legit games for it anymore, sadly. I need to dust it off and show my kids Powerstone 2, though.

Have an original Zelda NES cartridge but the battery died years ago. Just happened to keep it in a random box of crap I've kept over the years. Never had the heart to toss or replace it

Still have the OG 2-disk MGS PlayStation game, case and manual inserts and all from 1998. Game still works in my PS2.

Have an Intellivision that my grandfather hooked up to the TV's at his furniture store back in the day, also have a couple of games for it. Space Invaders or a knockoff of it is the best.

I have Pitfall and Shark from Intellivision. I can't find the system itself though. Thought I kept it. I have a copy of Moonwalker for Genesis on my nerd shelf.
