gaming What is the OLDEST video game console you've played/owned?

[Adorkable 2,737]

The oldest I've played is the Atari, the first of consoles. Adventure is a fun game, I'll give you that.

[boiteporte 591]

Well, I have an Odyssey. I lost most of the games I used to own. I still have Invasion though, which was a pretty good game...

Odyssey being the first game console to be released ever, you won't find any older than this.

 

EDIT:  The console no longer works, I don't even know why I still keep it...

I used to have an early black and white gameboy, but it went to heaven once it stopped working. I guess then the trophy holder is my SNES, followed by my PS2.

The oldest console i owend was a NES. Hed super mario and zelda on it. Good game both of them.

[girlbrony 5]

I have a game boy advanced sp (only to play old pokemon games XD)

[Honsou 399]

I have a few Sega Genesis lying around at my house. A bunch of games for it too.

[Twilight Frost 271]

I owned a NES back in somewhere around 1994 or so. It was my very first game console and I was in the second grade or so.

[Blackened 512]

It was the NES for me. Good times.

[Pripyat Pony 2,608]

An Atari ST which belonged to my older brother and a Master System which was shared between me and my two little brothers. Not counting the prehistoric computers that my old primary school had, where the only game was "Granny's Garden".

I have played pong before, then we got an atari and then we moved up to the NES , SNES, SEGA Genesis, ect. I played a lot of video games growing up

[cmarston1 5,956]

The oldest that I have played would have to be the Nintendo 64.

While the oldest I own would have to be the Game Boy Color.

[lomk 20,663]

Played: Atari 2600

 

Owned: NES - My brother and I used to play Ninja Turtles on that thing all the time

[Poetic Stone 1,040]

I have had them all, and for the most part still do, I will say Atari 2600 I owned first I was a child, but the toast of me friends at that time.

[FirestormCAN 246]

Back in middle school the science lab had a Super Nintendo with Super Mario World, Mario Paint ans TMNT IV. Freakin' loved Turtles IV, that's one the beat beat 'em ups I've ever played.

[ShadowEclipse 1,209]

My oldest console is the PS2. 

[Discordian 6,014]

I've played an original, and surprisingly still functioning, Pacman table.

 

As far as ones I've owned I had an NES when it was still a thing and over the years I've had Atari "gameboxes" that have a collection of Atari games on them. Volleyball and Adventure? Hell yes.

I haven't really played with old consoles, so I feel like the PS1 would be it. I can also remember my brother having some Atari thing too though, but I can't be any sure if it was the original thing.

[silvadel 1,393]

I grew up with an atari 2600 and later an atari 5200 -- but I did have a non-cart based sears basketball/breakout/pinball dedicated unit earlier.

 

I have an Odyssey 1 which was the earliest cart based system (5 years earlier than the atari), and probably have an original pong somewhere.

 

(Yes I buy and sell video games so that is inventory)

I used to have a 2600 that was picked up at a garage sale a few years (decades) back, even came with E.T. amongst others.  After reading what happened with the 'great landfill', I'm kicking myself for having lost/sold/etc. it

[Fluttere 71]

Then that has to be the original Nintendo console. Aka the one from the 80s. I never actually grew up with this console, i grew up with the Super Nintendo plus PS1 and PS2. But when Nintendo 64 still existed a friend of mine borrowed a Nintendo, and i also knew some people before that that had Nintendo, i can atleast remember two games i played. It was Batman and Duck Tales.

[Cirrus. 1,089]

Probably a Commodore 64 at my cousins' house, and an old Atari at my grandparents in the 90's.

Atari 2600?

Oh you mean the rebadged Atari VCS

 

I knew someone with a VCS.

I remember the fuss over the "new" 2600.

I know we had some "plug into the TV pong type game" early 80's

And I joined in in 1982 with my ZX Spectrum

I guess technically it would be NES, but the console is actually the "Retron 1", made to play NES games. From what I've heard/expierienced though, it's pretty much the exact same as the original NES besides the fact it's a top-down loader, and pretty small (which can actually help when bringing it other places).

 

The oldest handheld I have is a Game Boy Advance, and the oldest home console I have is the Xbox 360.

So, If we're talking about handhelds and home consoles, I'll say the oldest console I've played is the GBA.

[SquipyCheetah 449]

I used to play on my mom's PS1. I think it broke though, cause I really don't remember what happened to it.

My dad had a Timex/Sinclair! He used to set it up when I was little and let me play Frogger on it! That is until it died one day. Oops!
