What is the oldest video game system you have?

[donkeykong1]

Just like the title says. It doesn't matter what it is. I believe mine would have to be my complete boxed Odyssey along with 6 complete boxed games that came with it.

[Vixenkit]

Hmm... I would have to say that the oldest system I currently own is a boxed Atari 2600 heavy sixer with several original boxed games:

Slot Machine
Space War
Combat
Video Olympics
Outlaw
Air-Sea Battle
and
Casino

I have more games for the system, but those above were around when it was introduced. ^_^

[namzep]

Definitely my Atari 2600. However, if you're talking system that I've owned the longest, it would be my NES (which I got Christmas of 1988). I had a 2600 when I was 5 (1985) but it broke down and was given away.

[Mr.FoodMonster]

Ye Olde 2600

[demen999]

Dont remember right now but its either my atari 2600, or my boxed colecovision complete.

[-hellvin-]

Complete Channel F System II. Its such an abomination.

[GarrettCRW]

Atari 2600. Is there an echo in here? ;)

[wufners]

T'would be the original Odyssey.

[DTJAAAAMJSLM]

The NES... :embarrassed:

[WiseSalesman]

My original NES

[Uzi 9mm]

My NES.....Yeah, I don't own very many consoles...

[donkeykong1]

Wow, a lot of 2600s. That's cool.

[Stark]

My complete Odyssey system. I even have the original sales receipt from a Magnavox dealer where it was purchased.

[atomicthumbs]

I think the oldest systems (including stand alones) I have are from 1976 which include:

Wonder Wizard
Tele-Match 4
Concert Hall IV
Unisonic Tournament 100
APF TV Fun
Coleco Telstar Alpha

and the Fairchild Channel F

Yeah... I play them every day. Right.

[DigitalSpace]

My SNES. While I own a Genesis, it's a model 2 and I remember getting my SNES during the model 1's run.

[dojosky]

from collecting for my collection it would be one of the PONG systems by atari or clone PONG systems ..

from my childhood my first system was an atari PONG system (prototype) as my uncle worked at atari from when it started and stayed there for a several years then moved onto the showbiz (chuck e. cheese) business .. sadly don't know where he is ! darn it ... (would like to ask him more information about atari and his experience with atari oh well )

my first cartridge based system was tandyvision which I got for christmas of 1982. I actually bugged my parents to get me an atari 2600 but after i saw my friend's colecovision. I had to have that one so i bugged my dad to get me a colecovision but he got me a tandyvision instead :roll: to this day i figured out why he got it instead of colecovision it was so he could use his damn radio shack credit card :( but 6 ,months later he got me a coleco vision yay yes :D to this day we still have the tandyvision and my original colecovision !!!

[robotriot]

My 6-switch Atari 2600 and an Universum TV-Multi Spiel 2006, both from 1977.

[anagrama]

A woody 6-switch.

[BrokenFlight]

I've had my megadrive since 1992. That would be my oldest console.

[Flack]

I've got a pong system and an Atari Stunt Cycle, both of which predate my stack of Ataris.

[icbrkr]

My Odyssey 300 (1975) predates all my other systems. The neat thing is that I won it as a door prize at the OKGE (and it was donated by Earl no less...! :))

[njiska]

My Telegames Super Pong IV. It's common, but hey, it's still pong baby.

[jdc]

I assume you mean the system that I've owned the longest and not necessarily the oldest system.

My jungle green Funtastics N64.

[Jumpman Jr.]

I guess my Intellivision would be considered my 'oldest' console. 1979 baby.

[squidblatt]

Intellivision.

If you mean the one I've owned the longest, it would be the Xbox. Been a PC gamer for most of my life. I did have an Intellivision when it first came out, but it's not the same one as now.

[Lord Contaminous]

Atari 2600 and Pac Man sitting in my closet for god knows how long.

[Retsudo]

My Pong system.

[s1lence]

Either my Odyssey 300 pong unit or my Channel F. I also have a RCA Studio II and the APF MP1000 for some of my old crap.

[mezrabad]

Of what I have now, my Odyssey systems are the oldest. (1972) I'm selling all soon, so then the title will shift to my Odyssey 100 (1975).

The system that I've had the longest would be, hmm, my Game Boy Color (purple) which I got in 1997. I only ever had Pokemon Blue for it, until about a year ago when I got a GBA and grabbed a few more GBC titles.

The console that I've owned the longest: a Dual Shock Playstation which I got, new, the summer of 2000.

[alec006]

Right now my oldest system is the Atari 2600 VCS. Im aiming to get the original Pong system and the Magnavox Odyssey 1972 version,i just dont like those 100,200,300....models.

[segagamer]

Odyssey 2 console with about 50 games (all complete).

[bargora]

Atari 2600. It happens to be the same one we got "back in the day", although I only recently rescued it from my brother's attic. Unfortunately, I need to open her up and re-solder the connection to where the power supply plugs in. :(

I'd been using the 7800 (my sister-in-law's that I liberated from my brother's garage) to play my 2600 games lately, at least until I started playing a lot of them on Atari Anthology on my PS2.

[Alucard]

I have an atari video pinball C-380. It's in really good condition and has the operating manual which is in good condition too.

[Push Upstairs]

My oldest system (owned the longest) would be my Genesis from 1992.

The oldest system i own would be my NES.

[mr_nihilism]

NES

[rareusgold]

I would say my original Odyssey but an argument could be made about for my Computer Space.

Game ON

[AlexKidd]

The oldest systems I own would be my 2 4 switch 2600's. The one i've had the longest would be a master system from '89.

[GameSlaveGaz]

My oldest system is the NES. The system I've had the longest is the N64 (X-Mas 2000), since the NES and Genesis are replacements for the ones I lost as a child and the other systems aren't that old and even if they were I only got them like 2 or 3 years ago.

It's not fair, cuz my boyfriend FOUND a 2600 with like, 20 boxed games, 2 joysticks, a catalog AND the warranty card! And the box sits in his closet. He refuses to hook it up because he wants to "preserve it" even though I argue with him that it's still possible to play a system and preserve it. I told him once we get our own place together it's getting hooked up or there'll be hell to pay.

Also, his friend bought a Channel F on ebay. He's another one that won't play it, he just has it for the sake of having it. He refuses to sell it to me too. Bastard.

[Aussie2B]

My SNES is the system I've owned the longest, but the NES is my oldest console (which was my first console, but my original was sold). Yeah yeah, I know, some people think of collectors without pre-NES systems as newbs or something of that sort, but considering I always keep a look out for pre-NES systems when I go hunting and have yet to come across a single one, it's of no fault of mine that I don't have one yet so I'm not gonna be ashamed.

I do, however, have a Donkey Kong table top that was bought by my family when it was brand new.

[Darth Sensei]

Probably Atari Pong or my Complete Odyssey from 1972.

[bargora]

That's the spirit! Give 'im hell! LOL And once he's good and moved in, tell him that it's gonna take some "Combat" to get you in the mood. He might come to regret not letting you play with his joysticks.


Also, his friend bought a Channel F on ebay. He's another one that won't play it, he just has it for the sake of having it. He refuses to sell it to me too. Bastard.
Well, if it's any consolation, nobody seems to think too highly of the gameplay experience available from the Channel F. So, apparently you're not missing out on much. Still. What a doof.

Yeah the Channel F offers a very poor gaming experience.

[ubersaurus]

My Odyssey 300 that I picked up a couple months ago predates pretty much everything else I own.

[snes_collector]

I own a non-working Atari 5200. But the console I've had the longest is my SNES, since I was five.

[MattyXB]

Original buyed new in a store: NES.

Later buyed: 2 Pong consoles and some differents Atari 2600 VCS consols. 6 switch version is the oldest from them when I not wrong.

[MrRoboto19XX]

Mine would have to be a Fairchild Channel F, 1977 I believe?

I guess the oldest game I have is one of the games that came with it, lets go with #3-thats my lowest number, heh.

[davepesc]

The oldest in terms of years is the 2600, but my SMS has been in my possession the longest.

I had a 2600 as a kid, but I gave it (and like 50 games) to my cousin when we got our SMS. :(

I always wonder if she still has it. I would like to ask her, but I feel funny asking about it because we don't see each other that much. I know she had it in 2000 because I saw it in her basement when we were playing N64.

[Slate]

My oldest Game machine is one of my PONG Units.

It's either my Telstar PONG Unit, or my Sears Tele-Games Hockey-Jokari PONG Unit. I don't know wich one is older, though (They were both made in 1976)

[BIGMIKE]

i've got some system called a rally IV, i'm sure its before the 2600. got it one day at a gas station with a master system. it's boxed and everything, in decent condition except for the dead bumblebee that i kept for a momento....it's old i just dont know how old.

one system i have owned the longest would be my 7800 that i got for xmas when i was around 16 or 17 (now over 30)

holla at ya boy -_-

[starchildskiss78]

The oldest system I own it would be an Atari 2600 (CX-2600 A) released in 1980.

Now as for the system I've had the longest it would be the NES my girlfriend and I liberated from her brother's closet not long after I moved here.

[kainemaxwell]

Definitly my Atari 2600. Still have the majority of my games for it, except maybe a couple I traded/sold. Oldest system I got and right now I think the one I have the most titles for considering my Activision collection.

[Pantechnicon]

Atari 2600 heavy-sixer. It doesn't get much older than that (excepting Channel F or Odyssey). I also have an Atari Super Pong for what it's worth.

[donkeykong1]

I'm gonna go ahead and add a little more info on my behalf. The first system I ever got was a 2600 Vader back in the day. Then My dad gave it to my cousins in Mexico and bought me an Atari 2600 JR. A little bit later I got an NES for my birthday, it was the deluxe set with R.O.B. Since then I've bought many systems and games and yes I still have my 2600 JR. and NES(complete) As a matter of fact, every system I have ever bought new is still complete with all paperwork. The exception is the 2600 JR., ironically I still have the box for the Vader.

[SKVermin]

My oldest would be my Odyssey2. I've still only got the eight games that came with it when I bought it, though my Quest for the Rings is sadly cart only. :(

[Rev. Link]

My Odyssey 400 would be the oldest thing I own.

[Porkchop]

The oldest would be my Atari Pong.

[Roth]

My oldest system is Super Pong:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v287/I_am_Roth/stuff/sprpong.jpg

It still works rather well, too. I mainly just have it on top of my stereo for display, though.

[Falcon]

Super Nintendo. It was the Sega Master System, but that broke years ago.

[cracked8ball]

My oldest system is the NES

[miaandjohnrule]

My oldest would be my boxed RCA Studio II

[SlayerOfFurbies]

Colecovision

[rbudrick]

My oldest is my original Odysey system. You obviously can't get any older than that, unless you have the Original Space War! LOL LOL Well, I guess you could have Baer's prototype Brown Box...good luck with that, heh heh.

I have a crapload of various pong systems too.

I guess the system Iv've had the longest is my VCS my family got back in 82 or 83.

Got my NES some time in 87, I think.

-Rob

[Tron 2.0]

SMS not much longer though i'll probably sell it.

Right now feeling like jumping back... into NES gaming insted.

[videogameking26]

Nintendo

[Son of Bael]

The oldest system I have is my Asian (PAL) Megadrive, although the system I've had for longest is my Dreamcast (all others have been replaced, or rebought later).
