    What's the oldest video game, on any system (computer/console/arcade/etc) that you still play? Myself, I would have said probably Manic Miner or PSION Scrabble, as I still play them from time to time, when on the train (on the PSP's version of FUSE) mainly, and they are from 1983. But I do sometimes still play Mr Do! (my favourite ever arcade machine), which is from 1982, so I'll have to say Mr Do!, so the oldest video game I still play is thirty-one years old now.I do occasionally play older arcade games that Mr Do!, such as Pacman, which came out in 1980, but I very rarely play this (usually to test a new version of MAME, for whatever machine I've just installed it to), and it's not a game I really enjoy nowadays, so I won't count it.So, Mr Do!, and thirty one years for me. What's yours?Note: If you're unsure what year a game was released in, then go togamefaqs.comand enter the game title into the search box (top right hand side of the page), and click on the name when it's found (make sure it's for the right machine, or 'ARC' if it's for the arcade version), then click "Release data" to see the release date of the game. That's how I found out the release dates for Mr Do!, and Pacman.

    I was playing Space Invaders the other day. You don't get much older than that. I still enjoy Pacman too from time to time.

    Adventure for Atari 2600, it's a bit older than Space Invaders.

    Nah i mean, I play Runescape often, and Streets of Rage a few times a year but I generally prefer online multiplayer games which effectively knocks out most retro games.

    Not sure of the actual release date, I thought Adventure for 2600 came out a while before SPace Invader came out? Getting clear release date back then is sketchy and hard because many games didn't make big announcement or advertising.

    Has to be Castlevania for the NES. Either that or Resident Evil for PS1.

    I'd say Pac-Man I enjoy playing that sometimes.

    Probably the oldest game I play on a regular basis is Super Mario Land for Game Boy.
