So I wanted to play the older versions but not the beta and alpha versions, I wanted to play the old release versions, but every time I click on play I get a black screen, I did try to look in mojang/minecraft support but found nothing. Here is a picture of what happens every time.

I'm not surprised to be honest. There versions are old and were also made with older Java editions in mind.
My suggestion: rename your .minecraft folder to something else before starting the old version. This will also protect your current settings which otherwise would get messed up, but it will also make sure that the old version can actually run.
Then try to start it.

Thanks a lot, this helped a lot!
