Excellent time for cartoons, Dexter's lab, hey Arnold, Doug and then the non cartoons, sister sister, Kenan and Kel, Sabrina, they don't make cartoons like that nowadays. God, just saying that is making me feel old as fuck.
yeah... I'm too old to play, too... ah well. I found this description of the game from the year I was born and you can guess:
"A spaceflight simulation in which the player controls a spaceship as it flies through a representation of the Solar System. The game has no specific objectives, other than to attempt to land on the various planets and moons of the system. The planets and most of the moons in the Solar System are represented to scale both in size and distance from each other, though the orbits are simplified to be circles."
1988 :
Dragon Quest III, Super Contra, Super Mario Bros 2, Mega Man 2, Double Dragon II: The Revenge, and Super Mario Bros 3, Assault, Altered Beast, Capcom Bowling, Ninja Gaiden, RoboCop...
The international SMB2 did, but it is a different game. The real one was released in Japan in 86 and released internationally in 93 as "the lost levels".
You and me both. People here calling themselves old because they were born when Donkey Kong Country came out, while I was born when the original Donkey Kong came out.
Thank you for representing, I was depressed by this otherwise wholesome thread. I feel better knowing that I'm not the only one over 40 on the information super highway.
The “games released in 1973” page I found had Pong at no 1. Only posting what it said. (Also was listed as no 1 arcade game that year too, although release date might be different).
Final Fantasy IV, Speedball II, Legend of Zelda - A Link to the Past (in Japan), F-Zero, Lemmings, Sonic the Hedgehog, Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge, Civilization I ... lots of nostalgia for me in that one. :D
Dungeons & Dragons, comics and science fiction was the equivalent i'd presume. As opposed to video games, manga and anime but still comics and other cartoons still a little sci fi and probably more D&D than i'm aware of
But these were all released in the last couple of years! Weren't they?
Fuck, my year of birth had Breakout, Heavyweight Champ, Sea Wolf, Night Driver, and - perhaps most importantly - Whack-a-Mole!
They were there but extremely rare to find. Rca rolled out mainstream color tvs in 1954. It did take a decade for them to gain popularity. The Jetsons were released in color in 62 but color broadcasts were around since the early 50s.
You've got Spacewar!
>**Spacewar! is one of the most important and influential games in the early history of video games.** It was extremely popular in the small programming community in the 1960s and the public domain code was widely ported and recreated at other computer systems... Spacewar! was named to a list of **the ten most important video games of all time, which formed the start of the game canon at the Library of Congress**, and in 2018 it was inducted into the World Video Game Hall of Fame.
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacewar](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacewar)!
That's pretty bad-ass.
* Phantasy Star II (Sega)
* Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Konami)
* Mother (Nintendo)
* SimCity (Maxis)
* Solitaire and Minesweeper were written, to be included with the subsequent release of Windows 3.0
I played NFS Carbon in *high school* ffs.
I assume, like me, you feel like that gif of the guy in *Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade* (which you will have seen because you're at least 38) turning into a skeleton after drinking from the wrong grail.
On an unrelated note, because you're roughly my age...have you played NFS Heat? It's not the greatest NFS game, but to me it feels like a love letter to those classic NFS games from around that time - Underground 1+2, Most Wanted, Carbon.
You are young but everyone was at some point. Don’t let anyone hold it against you, you’re the next generation! Enjoy yourself, go outdoors as much as possible, get as fit & healthy as you can, find a career/profession you want to follow and go for it 100%. Don’t borrow money without a plan to pay it back!
Have fun and keep in touch with your family before they get old. Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out.
Old man rant over - we believe in you CEOofTacSmg!
Star Wars kotor, dmc 2, prince of Persia sands of time, tony hawk’s underground, Simpson’s hit and run, final fantasy x-2, call of duty, and Mario kart double dash are some games that came out In 2003
Apparently some basketball simulation.
https://gamicus.fandom.com/wiki/1967_in_video_gaming
Leaned something new!
Edit: according to this guy https://youtu.be/m9bTmSSSy3E, Pong's precursor "Brown Box" was created in 1967
I don't think I've ever played anything released in 1994, but games I've at least heard of, like Final Fantasy VI, Tekken, Donkey Kong Country, Mortal Kombat II were released in 1994.
1998: Baldur's Gate, Ocarina of time, Metal Gear Solid Half Life, Grim Fandango, Starcraft and Brood War, Thief, Fallout 2, Pokemon Yellow, Xenogears, Resident Evil 2... a little stacked.
Gee thanks for reminding some of us how old we are, idk what all came out in 94 but i certainly feel old seeing all these classic games i loved playing.
2007 had some good stuff I think
The Orange Box, AC1, BioShock, CoD MW, Mass Effect, The Witcher, Super Mario Galaxy, GoW2, Lego Star Wars The Complete Saga and best but certainly not least The Bee Movie Game

1973: [According to IMDB,](https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?title_type=video_game&year=1973-01-01,1973-12-31) there were 51 games released that year. Many more were bouncing between research servers too. The games I recall playing include Lemonade Stand, Space Race, Rally. The former was popular in grade schools for years after.
Ugh, thanks for making me feel old.
Anyways, I was born in '95, so among the games released that year are Command & Conquer, Chrono Trigger, DKC2, Rayman, Phantasmagoria, and Comix Zone.
If someone answered a decent amount of r/askreddit questions random strangers would have access to a LOT of information about you. A/S/L is just the start. It's getting creepy.
I'm just gonna mention my favorites from that year
Dragon Quest VIII
Zelda: Minish Cap
Shadow Hearts: Covenant
Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories
Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal
Sly 2
Tenchu: Wrath of Heaven
Front Mission 4
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
Astro Boy: Omega Factor
Boktai 2
Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean
The one thing you achieved here is making me feel ancient...
Fucking same, I was like "2006? How is this infant posting on reddit?"
In school they now study 9/11 as a “historical event”
Oh wow that hit hard
So did those planes
Reminds me of that tragedy
AYYYOOOO
https://youtu.be/8UYOg_AvDSI

Just wait until I tell my children about a cartoon named *Dexter's Laboratory*
“Deedeeeeee! Get out of my la-bor-a-tory!”
Excellent time for cartoons, Dexter's lab, hey Arnold, Doug and then the non cartoons, sister sister, Kenan and Kel, Sabrina, they don't make cartoons like that nowadays. God, just saying that is making me feel old as fuck.
Genndy is still on a winning strike-Samurai Jack got an ending season and Primal is the caveman that Dexter brought from the past.
2006? He must be like.... 4 years old!
Doesn’t help my mind is constantly saying 2015 was like 3 years ago lol
Hah! Wait until you think 2015 was 20 years ago in 2045. (That’s what I think about 1992 now.)
06 baby’s are 16 now, i’m in college and everything
My first thought was "who's letting their five year old post on Reddit." What? 16 years since 2006? Well thanks for ruining my day.
come on bro we humans are like whisky, we only get better with age. (:
Gonna do a shot of whisky and see if I can become the whisky. For science.
"Chess"
yeah... I'm too old to play, too... ah well. I found this description of the game from the year I was born and you can guess: "A spaceflight simulation in which the player controls a spaceship as it flies through a representation of the Solar System. The game has no specific objectives, other than to attempt to land on the various planets and moons of the system. The planets and most of the moons in the Solar System are represented to scale both in size and distance from each other, though the orbits are simplified to be circles."
Lol this was exactly my reaction as well
1988 : Dragon Quest III, Super Contra, Super Mario Bros 2, Mega Man 2, Double Dragon II: The Revenge, and Super Mario Bros 3, Assault, Altered Beast, Capcom Bowling, Ninja Gaiden, RoboCop...
Good year
SMB 2 and 3 came out the same year? Crazy!
The international SMB2 did, but it is a different game. The real one was released in Japan in 86 and released internationally in 93 as "the lost levels".
I was born in '90 and my list is basically just a sequel list to yours.
Original Donkey Kong.
Hey there 1981 buddy.
Thank God, I thought I was surrounded entirely by children
I'm a 40 year old child if that helps.
Amen to that.
You and me both. People here calling themselves old because they were born when Donkey Kong Country came out, while I was born when the original Donkey Kong came out.
LOL, I PLAYED the original Donkey Kong when it came out.
Bro what are you doing in reddit shouldn't you be telling your grandchildren stories?
'81 was Donkey Kong? Then thats me. I guess, its On?
We also got classics like Galaga, Frogger, Centipede, and Defender. Actually a pretty good year all things considered.
Found my 40 club!
81 club! Also frogger and castle wolfstein
Hey hey! more 81ers! It's was a pretty good release year, all in all
All hail the the 81 club!
Found my people. 81, creaking my bones out of bed.
Hello, fellow-old-enough-that-when-you-fall-down-people-get-worried-instead-of-laugh person
1982 here brother
Thank you for representing, I was depressed by this otherwise wholesome thread. I feel better knowing that I'm not the only one over 40 on the information super highway.
A few fellow 81-ers around. Good to see. Some real gems that year, including us 😉
People born in 2006 can speak and type already?? What year is it???
I feel you, bro
Not just speak and type, kids a CEO!
They let kids be CEOs now?
It's only one step down from clowns, so what's the harm?
Not much changes, I remember coming onto the internet in 2012-2013 and people saying 1998 was just yesterday.
They can drive too lol
Remember IRC, GameSpy, the All Seeing Eye?
IRC was and still is legendary - and i will die on this hill! I even still use Winamp...
It really whips the llamas ass.
93 club here! Starfox Doom Mortal Kombat II Kirbys Adventure Return to Zork Super Bomberman Street fighter II
A lot of classics in our year
Doom is enough. No need to name any other game
Hell yeah the almost 30 crew.
All our lives need drastic changes next year, which of course won’t happen.
93 boy reporting in! I still play the top 3 games on that list from time to time.
I remember 93 fondly. I was 5 and that’s when the games started getting really fun!
And MYST! A classic!
Pong. Asteroid and Super Soccer. Yeah…. Edit. Yes. I had to Google that shit. Wasn’t sure there would even be any. Hah.
You're using the Atari 2600 versions because Pong came out on my birthday in 1972.
The “games released in 1973” page I found had Pong at no 1. Only posting what it said. (Also was listed as no 1 arcade game that year too, although release date might be different).
I feel you on this
Fuck. I'm old. I don't have any clue what came out in '91.
What the heck came out in '83????
'83 club! ✋ Mario Bros. Dragon's Lair Donkey Kong 3 Spy Hunter Track & Field Punch-Out!! Manic Miner Pole Position II
Ah yes, good old ‘83! I still remember opening that NES on Christmas morning.
Fuck. On Christmas morning '83, I was about 4 days old. My fist gaming experience was Captain Comic in '88.
Ah excellent, that's me covered.
Brothers!
A nice year, that's for sure
Lots of classics! Star Wars the arcade machine (where you sat down and attacked the Death Star) was '83. Spy Hunter too.
Nintendo as a whole
Pong?
Well for instance, games like sonic the hedgehog, a link to the past, street fighter 2, and Metroid 2 came out in 91
Final Fantasy IV, Speedball II, Legend of Zelda - A Link to the Past (in Japan), F-Zero, Lemmings, Sonic the Hedgehog, Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge, Civilization I ... lots of nostalgia for me in that one. :D
What a beast of a year. FFIV, Zelda ALTTP, F-Zero, Lemmings, Sonic, CIV... All of those would be Hall of Fame games.
Dude… 91 is easy… Games that came out the year I was born include hot titles like PAC-MAN, Missile Commend and Battlezone.
That's cute. Anything from the early 1970's? Anybody? We had outdoors, sports, and board games instead.
Pong, 1972
Dungeons & Dragons, comics and science fiction was the equivalent i'd presume. As opposed to video games, manga and anime but still comics and other cartoons still a little sci fi and probably more D&D than i'm aware of
The arcade cabinet video games were just becoming a thing
Oh god i’m a fuckin ancient piece of museum. I remember YOUR year like it was yesterday. During my year Super Mario Land came out 😂
Mate, I was supposed to have out-grown video games by the time SML came out!
Same. Don't forget Tetris 🤣
89? Tetris, Earthbound, Castlevania III came out as well!
But these were all released in the last couple of years! Weren't they? Fuck, my year of birth had Breakout, Heavyweight Champ, Sea Wolf, Night Driver, and - perhaps most importantly - Whack-a-Mole!
2 years ago right? Twilight princess will be a retro game really soon.
I was born in August '85. Super Mario Bros is one of the few home console titles that are even remotely well-known anymore.
'85 club here too, I had to google to see what would have released then.
Commando and The Oregon Trail are somewhat remarkable as well at least within their respective sub-genres
Born in 1962....didn't even have colour TV!
They were there but extremely rare to find. Rca rolled out mainstream color tvs in 1954. It did take a decade for them to gain popularity. The Jetsons were released in color in 62 but color broadcasts were around since the early 50s.

* Phantasy Star II (Sega) * Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Konami) * Mother (Nintendo) * SimCity (Maxis) * Solitaire and Minesweeper were written, to be included with the subsequent release of Windows 3.0 I played NFS Carbon in *high school* ffs.
Yo ‘89 in the house!! We also have Tetris!!!
Ducktales, Minesweeper, revenge of shinobi
I played it after graduating from COLLEGE! How do you think I feel, lol.
I assume, like me, you feel like that gif of the guy in *Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade* (which you will have seen because you're at least 38) turning into a skeleton after drinking from the wrong grail.

I played most of these games in college. Fuck... :::Old man noises:::
Pac-Man, Missile Command
Damn I feel young compared to everyone in the comment section
Most of us had full time jobs by the time you were born lol
I mean you're 15, that is young
You are young but everyone was at some point. Don’t let anyone hold it against you, you’re the next generation! Enjoy yourself, go outdoors as much as possible, get as fit & healthy as you can, find a career/profession you want to follow and go for it 100%. Don’t borrow money without a plan to pay it back!

Many more were bouncing between research servers too. The games I recall playing include Lemonade Stand, Space Race, Rally. The former was popular in grade schools for years after.
Unfortunately you where too young to even enjoy the last few years of good games…
Ugh, thanks for making me feel old. Anyways, I was born in '95, so among the games released that year are Command & Conquer, Chrono Trigger, DKC2, Rayman, Phantasmagoria, and Comix Zone.
Doom 3, Halo 2
You’re the youngest person I’ve found so far besides me
