Wikipedia says metal gear was back in 87 on the MSX2. Mario was first released on the NES in 85. Are there any other series older than mario?

Ultima, so long as Ultima Online is still active (?). This was the basis for RPG's like Final Fantasy.

Pac Man was released in 1980 and still remains marketable. I know they had a XBLA Pac Man game recently.

Pacman and Tetris? If you mean more serious games besides Pong and others I might have to say Mario.

Oh, yeah. Frogger too.

I'm not sure about what series is the oldest, but I do know that the original Donkey Kong arcade game was released in 1981.

Wow, if you guys can read, i said SERIES. Tetris and Pac man isn't a series really. Also, it's being remade, not necissarily "still going on" but just remade. "Still going on" as in NEW games.

And whoever said Chess, quit trying to act smart because i said SERIES, that's just a game

Ultima and Pac Man are not series?

Pac Man has had all different forms...pinball, a few 2D platformers, 3D platformers (like Pac Man World 1 & 2) and the game is not just being remade....there were alot of major additions to add online play or work with the GBA adapter on the Gamecube last gen.

Drgaon's Lair is another long running series...since 1982....

Still, i don't concider Pac Man a series, i still find it a game, an arcade game
