Was playing a bit of Stunt Car Racer for the Amiga this week, from 1989, and wondered how far back people are going!

Trying to finish pokemon emerald on my game boy micro. I mostly play at family gatherings

Amiga Stunt Car Racer remains the best racing game of all time for me. It even had linkup multiplayer (I think..)

Oldest I have played during this year? Or oldest I have played up until this year?

[–] HexagonSun@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago

Oldest this year.

But maybe up until this year, or in the last 5 years would have been the more interesting question.

Probably the 2600, since I bought it recently and built a decent collection complete with joysticks, paddles, and a Video Touch Pad for Star Raiders.

Playing 2600 on original hardware is pretty awesome.

Played with various ROMs of popular late ‘70s and early ‘80s arcade games.

Moon Patrol on the Atari 2600 (Emulated on my Steam Deck). I'm not giving away my age by posting this at all...

I played through Wario Land on GB emulator earlier this year. Probably that.

The London Game, from 1972.

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

Golvellius on the Sega Master System.

I've owned it since the 80s but back then couldn't get very far. The fact that it uses passcodes instead of saves didn't help. Last month I played with a mod which adds save support, on the MiSTer FPGA (which I have installed in a C64 shell), on a nice ~10inch OLED.

I got all the way to the final boss but... still haven't beat 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've got Pong on my phone and one of my kids loves it.

[–] santo@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

I finished R-Type III (1993) and played a little bit of Castlevania 2 (1987)

[–] ramble81@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago

I was playing Bubble Bobble on an NES emulator, so… 1988

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

This year? I've lost, best I've got was a very brief demo of my setup with an Apple II game (and I already forgot what it was, I was just showing of that I had every game from an Exodus set since they added Apple II). But I'm not gonna count it.

Actual play? I'm on a GameCube fix right now cause of achievements. Y'all are the real mvps in 2024.
