So yeah, n64, snes, ps2 slim, ps1, gameboy advance, VCR player, dictionary, Xbox, that keyboard is the one I have and use (very old, just look at that port) also I have some old computers that work, but don't we all?

 

So that's just about it...

I guess I'll go from oldest to most recent.

 

I have a really small like 15" tv from way back when.

 

I still have an NES and SNES.

 

I have an N64.

 

I have a pc running Windows 97.

 

I have a Gamecube.

 

I have a DS from the first ever launch of them.

 

I have a Xbox 360 from the first ever launch of them.

[I used to be a stranger 7,994]

A gray stapler that my mom got from before she was married, and even then it had seen service in a bank for 10 years before she had it. Which makes it almost as old as my dad.

 

Get a new stapler, old man. Shreesh.

[~Master~ Button Mash 2,307]

A Yacht Boy 205 low-band marine radio from 1993. In fact, it's sitting right in front of me on my desk at the moment. Not sure why I brought it to uni, just found it at the back of the closet one day and wanted to see if it still worked or not. Put some fresh AAs in, and sure enough, I was able to pick up low-band hams.

My first vehicle, Lenore. She is 25 years old, which is two years older than me! She could drink before I could and runs so well she wont stop running after I remove the key! 

 

There is a RD vinyl sticker in the passenger side, just can't see it from this angle

i still have my apple g3 desktop and its old enuff to buy me a beer.

 

i like old electronics so i actively look for them my i pod is better than your i pod

[XrosOver 613]

I have an old copy of Pokèmon Yellow Version that still works. I would have thought that the internal battery would have run out by now but it still is working good as ever. The classics are always fun to play.

[Ferret Girl 2,642]

I have an Atari 2600 , NES, SNES, N64 Ps2, and a few other things....  old stuff works great if you actually take care of it over time.  I love me my old games :3

[The Awesome One 1,315]

Nintendo N64 and NES with the orange zapper gun.

 

A Daihatsu 'Rocky' jeep from the 80's. My grandpa currently owns it but he says it'll be mine when I get my learners permit. (still a long way to go)

 

Then there's the household 'backup PC'. We basically use it when there's an emergency and none of the other computers are working.

 

It has a 700 Mhz processor.

 

256mb of RAM

 

and about 50 MB storage.

[Concord 1,982]

1978 Redson Flanger 12 efects pedal. I simply love it! It gives that lovely 80's rock/metal sound. Glad i found it hidden somewhere in my house...

[A Blithering Div 247]

Oldest thing I have that still works is an Underwood Universal Typewriter. The serial number dates it at 1938. Still types and moves the paper but it could use some TLC. A few keys are missing, it needs an ink ribbon and it could do with less rust.

[Jokuc 8,174]

My grandpa.

 

Well I got some very old computers downstairs and also some sort of very old radio my grandparents had back in their time.

[Moon Rat 4,772]

I have several old (and I mean dirt old) PS1 games that I am surprised that still work.

Some of these games came about when the first PS1 console came about

[Kyubey 60]

My dad still uses a Nokia 3310. While it's not ancient, it's kind of ridiculous that he uses such an old phone.
Used to have some old cassettes. I think my brother threw them away. :/

[Rolls Royce 606]

I have an NES that still works, I need to find the cables and get it hooked up to my TV.  I have Metroid, Legend of Zelda with the gold cartridge, and Mega Man 6.  I first played it when I was 3, and it still works when I'm at the age of 18.

I also have a Nintendo 64, a Gamecube, Gameboy Advance and SP, original DS, 2 computers in my garage, one is a Gateway with Windows 98, the other is an Acer with Windows 95, plus my 2000 Ford Ranger, if you can count that as an old truck, it's only 12 years old.

My antique 1860 Colt revolver can actually fire, but it's more of a decor piece...since I don't want to use it that much.

 

My antique 1700's flintlock pistol can also fire too, but I found that and it's so cool I don't want to fire it again!

 

My brother's 1950's jukebox and cola machine (Why did he buy those? ) also work and they're awesome.

 

My 1969 Chevy Impala (Not that old...) is in perfect condition since I worked on it. My favorite car of all time!

[Drehgunklew 136]

I have the first Gameboy laying in my room somewhere and it works. I have Tetris and a game where you're supposed to save people with a helicopter...

Such a badass car. I know it as the car from one of my favorite shows; Supernatural.

Anyway, I wouldn't necessarily call it mine, but my father says he might give me his 1978 Chevrolet Monte Carlo when I'm 16. 

[HeartOfSilver 41]

My iPod Classic that I got for Christmas in 2006 still works pretty well. It doesn't hold a charge too long and it can get glitchy, but it still plays music and video.

 

Usually iPods only last at most two years, but mine's lasted over 6 years. It's a miracle, considering I've dropped it on cement and on the floor countless times. 

[longgone 873]

I have a pair of sun glasses from the 1860's that still provide protection from the sun! So I guess that's considered working?

[qqq 217]

I still have a Binatone Mark IV. I think it is from 1978. I also have a Game and Watch (Squish), a NES, a SNES and an N64. Countless hours were wasted playing Goldeneye in my house.

[Zygen 6,066]

My dad had like a windows 98 computer or something that use to work, laptop actually, it was terribly slow, but it worked . me and my brother dismantled it though.

 

Um. I have a PS2 also, idk how old it is, but I don't really do anything with it currently. And an original Xbox that still works, and a N64.

 

I can't think of much else I have thats old.. Most of that isn't that old anyways . I'm not that old in the first place to have old stuff.
