Current Events > What's the oldest game console you still own?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Atari 2600

Xbox 360

I wish my OG Xbox I own now worked better, I won't tell the story of my first one, but the one I got now. It is having disc drive problems, and well I at least played Driver 3 on it lol. I wanted to give that game a shot. But it would just hard freeze during Madden '08. Sucks. The first one I had it was perfect. This one now I have to actually do the slam hard on the top of the console to get the disc drive to eject the tray.

Man, the original xboxs were notorious for having multiple problems that can screw you over. Its a damn shame too because the og xbox was easily my second most played console of it's generation and I still own majority of my og xbox games (with most of them not being BC).

My first xbox had one of those thompson disc drives and that one eventually crapped out on me (the samsung one was considered the best drive to have. Most of the later xboxes had that drive).

My 2nd xbox up and died because it got struck by lightning via a overnight thunderstorm.

I ended up trading it in to gamestop (who still took it despite it not powering on) towards the xbox 360 when I got it in august 2006 for phantasy star universe+gears of war coming up that november.

.......and man I don't even want to remember the 360 red ring shenanigans.

Atari 2600

I have a working original Famicom.

Either SNES or GameBoy Pocket, dunno which is older

Xbox one. Lost everything else in a flood.

Back when I had the hots for eBay action when people would outbid ya at the last second. I really wanted a colecovision and it came with all these cool shit even including the Atari adaptor that allowed you just play any Atari game there. There was also a really neat Famicon system too I am sure that was AV out and I think more open source hehe I never did bid on that, but just reminded me how that Colecovision suddenly and quickly slipped away from me.

Batman is in there a lot. I recently played Sweet Home though.

I still have my original Gameboy.

In terms of actual consoles I've still got my ps1 somewhere. I gave my n64 to my nephew and sold my Sega Genesis more than a decade ago.

SSJEvot! That's awesome do you have Star Wars for the Famicon, I heard it was strange, but better than American releases for that system.

Eh I remember I still have this. Word up, for player Checkers on the 2600 with a pad like this.

I don't have either, but checking Surugaya there appear to be two version, both pretty damn expensive (at least versions including box and instructions).

GameCube. I'm not sure if I can even hook it up to my TV without buying an adapter or something.

I sold all my other old consoles and games years ago for cheap. Pretty sure the guy was gonna resell them.

I couldn't resist my dumbness and post a pic of my own (I wanted to find a better one). Thanks for acknowledging me. I did seriously want to know if you had that Star Wars game there, because I had played some on the Atari and SNES.

I might pick up the Namcot one sometime, because the equivalent of $45 for a box and instructions copy in good condition isn't awful (I usually only buy retro games with original box and instructions).

Amiga 1200

Same one I had as a kid, so many good memories with that machine I'll never get rid of it

Oldest I ever had was an NES

Oldest I currently have is a GBA SP.

I have a mega drive but it's not the same one I had back in the day. The oldest I own in terms of having been with me the longest is my OG GBA.

A little Tiger Electronics handheld from '92. Barring that, it's currently my modded original Xbox.

Sega Mega Drive

NES.

The oldest working console I own that was originally bought by me is my launch Dreamcast. Still chugging away.

The oldest console I own is a Fairchild Channel F. It's the first videogame console to use interchangeable cartridges.

NES. I dont have it hooked up

Magnavox Odyssey 3000 (1977). It's basically an improved Pong clone.

still working fine: Intellivision

not working: Radofin Telesports (Pong clone)

Mega Drive homeboys.

Went a bit mad about a decade ago buying games, thought I'd get a collection going as a hobby, got about 90 games, might have to get rid of some at some point

I have two of the old Mattel Electronics from the 70's - Basketball and Football.

After that is the NES.

PS2.

I unfortunately got rid of all my NES and SNES stuff years ago.

i have an atari 2600 with like an atari case that holds it, the junk to hook it up, and a ton of games. also have said ton of games.

The N64.

Sega Master System, but it doesn't work.

A PS3 Super Slim.
