Game boy Pocket, i think. Unless the sega genesis is older? Then maybe that.

[Leave a Whisper 703]

NES unless you wanna count various arcade/pinball machines.

[saint pepsi 32]

a pink ps2, i actually still play on it since i have a ton of games for it

ah

the money that i wasted as a child

[Chuckles4lyfe 441]

The oldest console I ever played was a Sega Genesis at a friends house. I still remember not being able to get past that cursed section in Chemical Plant Zone in Sonic 2  .

 

To my knowledge, the oldest console we had in our house was my 1st one: The Glorious Nintendo 64 I got that fateful Christmas Morning on December 25,1998. One of the best days of my young life .

First was "Intellivision" in the 80's.  After that I had one of the big grey original gameboys.  

The funniest thing about owning a 3DS is that it has terrible ergonomics compared to the original gameboy.

It's too thin, and there is nowhere good to put your hands, and the balance is past your hands.  

 

I typically put my smart phone behind the 3DS and hold them together to improve balance and thickness.

My oldest console I played were PlayStation 2. 2004

I believe I had a PC before that tho. Mulle Meck bygger bilar FTW.

An atari...my dad use to own it and I remember playing one or two games. But we owned a NES, SuperNES and the original gameboy (still have the gameboy in fact), so I continually keep playing those. Worth all the grueling hours to play some of the games.

[Dreambiscuit 9,556]

Telstar. It's the same as Pong but with a different name. Also a few games on Commodore 64. Not great in the graphics department but they worked if you were bored.

[Brick Jojo 17]

Virtual Boy, which is this really obscure Nintendo system where you stick your head in it (it's like a pair of goggles) and it's supposed to feel like Virtual Reality. It really isn't though, it's all red and black and it makes your eyes hurt after a while and most of the games are really simple and stupid and overall, it's dumb and I hated it even when I was a kid.

[Batbrony 16,043]

I've played on an NES one or two times, but the oldest console I regularly played when I was younger was a Nintendo 64 (but that was largely at friends' houses) and the oldest one my family ever owned was an Xbox from the sixth generation of video game consoles (I'm an avid gamer, but we didn't start getting consoles ourselves until I was a pre-teen).

[Dynamo Pad 11,174]

The oldest video game console that I've played/owned was the SNES. 

[Konsumo 151]

I never owned a gaming console until recently but I played some kind of pre-console thing with pong at my cousins place back in my childhood. You hooked it up to the TV, the graphics were extremely basic and the controllers just weird.

 

 

When I was at home, I had fun on our C64.

The first game I ever played was Combat on my parents Atari 2600 in the seventies

[Kenshiro 13,492]

My oldest console system

 

[Moony the Cat 3,702]

My oldest Video game Console would either be the Atari 2600 or the Atari 800 Xl, if that counts.

[IsraelYabuki 441]

Back in 1998, my aunt showed me a game console that I got to play called a Nintendo Entertainment System.

[EpicEnergy 23,129]

I think the oldest one I've played was PS2.

[Cash In 22,180]

Oldest console I've owned was the original NES. Don't have it anymore unfortunately, but it's a good system.

[Tom Gallagher 33,581]

I just to have a GBA. I think that was the oldest we had.

[ExplosionMare 18,060]

I played an NES at an arcade once but I’ve never owned anything older than a Wii system

[Sonic Shimmer 4,131]

I had a Sega Master System back in the 90s. I also had the original Game Boy.

[Sasoriman 134]

Mine was the SNES which came out the year I was born. I've had a lot of Nintendo consoles growing up, right up to the Switch.

[bigbertha 414]

I played a Gamecube at a cousin's house

[baba_booey 4,302]

Oldest I've ever owned was the Atari 2600 (which technically was my brother's since he bought it, but still). Unfortunately that stopped working after a while, and for the longest time the oldest either of us owned was my Sega Genesis, until we bought an Atari 7800 last year.

I also own an NES clone system but that doesn't really count.
