On a related note: what's the oldest media (tape, floppy, cd-rom,
cartridge) you still have for a game?

 I still have a box full my old Commodore 64 games in their original
packaging.  The oldest game in that collection would be the Commodore
version of the Infocom game Suspended.  The oldest media I have though
would be a floppy for the C64 version Lode Runner, but I don't think I
have the box for that.
 I'm not sure what the oldest PC game media I have is.  I have 5.25"
floppies for Command HQ, Dragon Wars, MegaTraveller 1, and SSG's Panzer
Battles.  I believe Panzer Battles is the oldest of these games in terms
of release date, but I would purcased them all a few years after they
were released.

Megatraveler, there's a game I liked I haven't thought about in a long time.  Are you sure at least MegaTraveller wasn't 3.5" it was released in 1990 as far as I can tell, and that seems a bit late for 5.25"?  But I could be wrong, that's 34 years ago.
