Probably one of the machines at a nearby arcade. Pin-bot is mid-80s and I play that one a lot. There's a couple from closer to the 50s as well.
Oldest I have played during this year? Or oldest I have played up until this year?
Oldest this year.
But maybe up until this year, or in the last 5 years would have been the more interesting question.
I was playing Bubble Bobble on an NES emulator, so… 1988
Oldest game I’ve this year:
https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Astro_Warrior
on Steam Deck
I’m a bit bummed the question wasn’t about the oldest game I’ve ever played (as I misread it at first), but that would be:
Amiga Stunt Car Racer remains the best racing game of all time for me. It even had linkup multiplayer (I think..)
The London Game, from 1972.
Mine is kind of cheating. I'm playing the Pixel Remaster of Final Fantasy I currently. I only have my tablet on me at the moment so I'm also doing a lot of emulation. SNES, N64, and GBA are my sweet spots
I've got Pong on my phone and one of my kids loves it.
Galaxy 5000 (1991). Not the oldest in this thread by far, but I've never heard anyone talk about it and it's actually a really decent racing game for its time.
I played through Wario Land on GB emulator earlier this year. Probably that.
I played the similar game Stunt Driver on PC a lot growing up. Had a tweaked copy where all the stats were turned way up on one car. Good choice to play as an old game
