Was playing a bit of Stunt Car Racer for the Amiga this week, from 1989, and wondered how far back people are going!
I’ve got a working Intellivision which was originally released in 1979. Mine was fresh off the factory floor in 84, I think that was the last year it was made.

Playing 2600 on original hardware is pretty awesome.
Asteroids.
I have Batocera on my Rapbperry Pi and I occasionally like to play some N64 games. So roughly late 1990s. I also tested the Apple 2 emulator and played either Apple Panic or Lode Runner, I can’t remember. That’d be early 80s but I just did 2 or 3 levels.
N64 runs ok on pi? Since when? Which PI?
Is this similar to RetroPie and LaunchBox? Essentially an emulator front-end? That’s the vibes I’m getting from a quick glance at your link
Yes. There are several projects: RetroPie, Lakka, Recalbox, Batocera. They’re all some out of the box emulation solutions. emulator, frontend, controller configs, … Sometimes you can install Kodi an also watch videos. Several of them use the exact same software. I tried them all in one evening a year ago and just stuck with the one that seemed to work best for me and didn’t require a lot of additional configuration.
Nice, thanks for the clarification. I’ve done RetroPie before, and put Lakka on my Switch at one point. I’d like to get a couple more Pies to mess with eventually
Have a look at other options, too. There are other single board computers and mini PCs out there in all price and performance categories. Some better than the Raspi, depending on use-case.
I guess the oldest would be Asteroids using emulation via MAME. If you’re talking about original hardware I would say Pitfall on the Atari 2600.
Recently got a cheap Gamecube and now I‘m playing through Windwaker and some Double Dash every now and then. It’s insane how good the games still look that support progressive mode through the digital port.
I’m currently playing through WW and thought the same thing. I’m doing it emulated, though, which is neat cause I can do the weird GBA feature without wasting batteries. Why not have Tingle whereever you go?
I know it’s not the “official” game, but I’ve been playing some Ocarina of Time (1998) multi-world randomizers every now and then over the last couple years.
Would you elaborate on the multi-world part please? Is it additional modded areas or am I thinking too hard?
So it is a program running in the program from Archipelago that can connect multiple randomizers together. You can have a friend playing a different randomizer somewhere else and you can send them item for their game and vise versa. Or you can run an a-synch on your own by doing everything you can in one game, and then swapping to another.
They have a list of compatible randos on their website, and I’d be willing to answer any other questions you have
Holy shit. So, like, the Link to the Past+Super Metroid randomizer on crack?
Edit: thats the impression I am getting from the site. That is absolutely amazing
Yeah, pretty much lmao!
Edit: They show it off at the Game Done Quick charities every year or so. Here is one that is Ocarina of Time and Kingdom Hearts II
That doesn’t even make sense, and I don’t know how I feel about. I appreciate the link, hopefully I will get a chance to check it out. Internet is real spotty here
That would be Ultima Online, released in 1997.
I can tolerate the graphics, but the controls are really something else. Played it for 3 hours and had the urge to play some more, but never did.
I played countless hours of Cave Noire this year. It’s a coffee break roguelite that released in 1991 on Gameboy.
I fuck around with old games a lot but there are not that many games I get really into these days. Cave Noire is similar to Desktop Dungeons where every attempt is a short puzzle so it fits pick up and play nature of Gameboy. Can’t recommend it enough if you’re into this kind of stuff.
Gonna download (my totally legal backup copy) now and check it out
Edit: is it accessible without knowing much Japanese?
Edit: is it accessible without knowing much Japanese?
It is, if you look a few things up, but there’s also a readily available translated “backup copy” floating around.
I am very much into this kind of stuff.
megaman 3 from 1990
Fallout 1997
I finished R-Type III (1993) and played a little bit of Castlevania 2 (1987)
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.
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 still play Super Mario 64 if various rom hacks count.
…
looks at my grey hair
Yes. Yes you certainly do exist grey hair. I’ll be in the closet crying if anybody needs me.
