What is the oldest functional game console in your possession.


Mine would have to be the NES and the NES2

Yes, NES2. The thing they made for less than a year before they decided to make the SNES

Which if I remember correctly was very cheaply priced and a fair bargain for a cheap console when SNES / Genesis was ruling the day (correct me if I'm wrong on that, I wasn't even born until '93)

The Grandstand and the Merlin I had as a child but the Commodore PET I added to the collection many years later.

The oldest working one that I have is my SNES (had an NES at one point, but sold it because I didn't play it that much)

The oldest one that I actually play regularly is the Dreamcast that I bought the other day.

I think the oldest working system that is working and still used fairly frequently is Pong. Grand kids love it.
The oldest computer I have is either the C64, or the Coleco Adam, unsure at the moment of which came first. :D
