I've just got back to b'stoke from Uni, and I'll be living here for a few months, so I need to somehow fit all of my stuff from London into my room here... Cue clear out.
So, I started with my "Big piles of random crap" cupboard which contains a number of PC games... It's been a while since I went through these, but I found (amongst others):
The original GTA
Wing Commander 3, on 4 CDs (then someone invented video conmpression
)
Rise of the Robots 2
And the jewels in the collection, SC2000 and Lemmings 2 on the original 3.5" floppies.
So, to the point... What's the oldest game anyone has the original disks for?

well SOMEWHERE I have the original 5 1/4 inch 360k boot floppy containing DOS 3.0< for an ACT Sirius XT (8085? think it was 8086 cause it had a co-processor)

that's certainly not the oldest game we have matthew, I Think somewhere in the garage there is lemmings 1 for MS-DOS on floppies, and windows 3.1 is somewhere. god knows what other software my dad has, but he likely has older stuff than me.

Think Maths co-processor were denoted with DX, at least my old Dell 316DX was.

it had two intel chips with a little window in each of them ( you could see the core ^_^ ) anyway, i know it was an XT, and was a totally different form factor to what we know today!

I have the original Doom, Doom2 and SC2000 floppies, even older is the Wolfenstein 3D demo disk, but does that count, hmmm?
However, like ZiK I have some ancient Amiga Floppies.
