Your Oldest Retro System You Own

What's the oldest retro system you own? How did you come across getting it?

The oldest retro system I own, is an Odyssey2...it was bought in 1978, which would make that system around 31 years old (!)

It was actually given to me by a neighbor...for free. It's complete too, and came with 5 complete games as well:

Alien Invaders--Plus!
Bowling!/Basketball!
Invaders from Hyperspace!
Showdown in 2100 A.D.
Speedway! / Spin-Out! / Crypto-Logic!

For some reason all Odyssey2 games had to have an exclamation point at the end of it's title. xD

My NEC T-16. It still works like a charm. Broke it out the other day to play Bonks Revenge and Victory Run.

The oldest syste I own is an Atari VCS.It was called that before it was called the Atari 2600.That was in 1978.In 1981 I got an Atari 400 computer.I played Star Raiders on it forever.That game was very "state of the art" at time.The Infocom text adventures. were also super popular.EA made some good products in those days.Remember Hacker?

nes!!!!

The oldest retro systems I own are a Japanese lauch Mega Drive and a Sony Hit Bit-F1XDJ MSX2+ computer system (see pic below). Both systems were manufactured in 1988.

I had a Atari 2600 (my first gaming system) but we got rid of it. I also had a Master System but we also got rid of it in favour of the Mega-Adapter.

Genesiszael99

same :). dumdum dum just filling space so theres more then one word

My NES, got it in '89 (still works)... though I recently managed to get an Atari 2600 with Pitfall 2 and Berzerk, good stuff.

NES. My parents bought it for me and my brothers when I was 1 year old. I was able to use it when I was 2.

Atari 2600

bought it for $3 with a bunch of games at a flea market.

nes and master system

NES. I just know my folks got it when I was really young. Like 2.

My oldest console is my NES, which my dad had when he was a kid. We got it when my grandmother passed away.Tikicobra

Nintendo Entertainment System. Not much of a legacy guy.

right now is sega saturn. i gave my snes and mega drive to my cousins. i was able to play an atari 2600 back in my primary days though.

mine is the sega mega drive :D haha that was really good i loved playing that with the big chunky games :]

I got an Atari 2600 for an early Christmas present for last year and I simply love it. It came with 10 games and I've bought several other games along with it.

So does that mean that your shmup teeth were cut on early shmups like River Raid and Chopper Command? :P

My earliest system is a tie between the 2600, Odyssey 2, Coleco Telstar Colortron (pong machine), and the Microvision (first cart-based handheld)

My NES.

I only go back to PS2 as I got rid of my N.E.S., S.N.E.S.,N64, and Apple2e computer a long ago.

roulettethedog

why would you do that?

My N64 is one of my favorite possesions... i would go on a rampage if someone broke it/stole it/sold it.

Ive got an Odyssey, besides that T-16 and then my SNES.

My oldest system is the Microvision. It's the very first handheld gaming system, predating the gameboy by several years. Unfortunately, the screen decays easily, so it doesn't have much life left in it :(

I still own the Atari 2600 that my parents had when I was born. I have about 20 games for it too. I still play it every now and then. They had some good games on that system. :)

I'm not sure what that means either, but I went ahead and removed my sig.

But yeah, what do you mean by "malware sig?"
