Duke Nukem or Duke Nukem 3D? There seems to be some confusion over this with some people. Duke Nukem was a 2D platformer which was later made into an FPS as Duke Nukem 3D.
Tetris is the oldest, but I think I'd probably not vote for Tetris because the gameplay hasn't got old. Its simplicity doesn't mean it has aged like the other games in terms of its graphics. Something's oldskool if it's enjoyable with rose-tinted glasses. In the cases of most of those games those rose-tinted glasses are about having been there when those games came out, and remembering just what they meant for games in general and how they contributed to what we have today.
For me it can only be oldskool if it's a game I don't play any more, so that'd be Duke Nukem, Quake, Doom, Wolfenstein 3D (which I only played once and did about 3 levels). I still play Half-Life mods and I still play Tetris and Tetris variations, such as Super Puzzle Fighter which I strongly recommend if you want a cheap versus game to stir up emotion with your housemates/family!
Damn... I voted doom... i was thinking duke3d with duke. Duke2d is REALLY old school. Oldschool gameplay, like wolf 3d, doom & Quake. HL gameplay isn't oldschool. it's no different then modern games, just older looking. :) tetris isn't oldschool.... it's TIMELESS! Like pong & space invadors!
we need more duke,doom,quake style games. story based games are becoming old school now a days. :)
I dont know how somebody can say HL is oldskool<-all you kids playing doom3 and q4 dont know nothing about real oldskool gaming like Q1,doom,DN,or blood<these games kick ***<
Has to be Doom for me :)

Hands down, Tetris...
i cant believe 10 goons voted for Halflife... if any, thats the LEAST "old school" of them all
my vote is doom... classic fragfests are the best, end of story
pretty much what you used to play when you were a kid
oh yea... wolfenstien 3d
PONG is old school
Amen brother. Not to mention Space Invaders :P
quake ftw
Tetris is WINNAR all the way, but technically, all of them are old skool.
Would have voted all of the above - but HL is NOT Oldshool. It's just overhyped pantedness.
all of them and mario
Duke Nukem the one and only...
I mean comeon it fits on 2x3.25 floppy disks, from memory the Doom demo took up 8 of the suckers.
Wolf 3d.
doom took up 2 disks.

Quake
Tetris is so ol skool
what about pong, i'm sure pong was out first :P
i voted wolfenstein 3d.
which i regret cuz i didn't see the "all of the above" option.
Tetris isn't "oldskool" - more people still play Tetris than any of the other games listed.
An Oldskool PC game would be a game released before videocards became popular and affordable. Like the Secret of Monkey Island.
wheres Dune 2?
crash bandicoot 1, and that game on ps1 demo cd where you were a scuba diver and had to gather treasure.. Loved that mod.
?

all lame, Contra should be on the list, that would easily win
How can people consider Quake less Old School than HL?
