It's not about how old the technology is, but from when on it wasn't used as e.g. a pseudo-RNG, but rather for storing data. So, formally, still a RNG, but using a special seed to get a sequence that is equal to the data that one wants to store. I have found that "River Raid" (1982) and "The Sentinel" (1986) were using it for game data. Apparently, the original "Elite" was supposed to use one, too, but they decided against it.
