technology REALLY old stuff you have that still works?

[Archi the Atmomancer 564]

A Super Nintendo, and it works on every TV I have tried it on. I played Starwing on a 50' or so screen once and it was bloody amazing.

 

EDIT: Woah, Siamese post or something.

A SEGA Genesis and Game Gear and all the games we have for them.

An SNES along with some games as well.  We sold our NES many years back but it was still in working order when we sold it and, I can only hope, still is.

A Game Boy Color, along with multiple very dated games that have gone through a lot of abuse; particularly a copy of Pokémon Gold that spent an entire year lost in a friend's front yard and yes, it still works.

For example, I have a big heavy dinosaur of a TV that still works perfectly. It's so old it has no A/V connections, only an RF input for an antenna. We bought it when I was a kid and I took it with me when I moved out of the house.

 

Another thing: I have a slim PlayStation 2 I bought in 2005. Quite old for a disc-based video game system...and it still works. I have played so many movies on that thing over 7 years that the DVD-ROM should have burned out a long time ago, but it's still going. It's like an immortal PS2.

Don't get me started on the one I bought used in 2003 that my little brother still plays.

 

Let's get started on my monopoly on all things ancient shall we?

 

I have an Atari 5200 with eight of the games and they all work, it also has two controllers.

I have a Playstation 1 with too many games to count

I have a working Sega Saturn

I have an original gameboy and a gameboy color, My Gameboy color is the Pikachu special edition one.

I have an old Odyssey console. (Like, the FIRST console, that Odyssey)

I have many more old objects but I couldn't name them all of the top of my head.

I've got an old VCR that works just fine, also a SNES that works perfectly.

 

Those were the days eh? Big clunky tapes to watch movies on, and cartridges to play games.

[Jymm 49]

I have a PS1, N64, a Pokemon themed Game Boy Colour and an original Game Boy (along with a plethora of other random games consoles) but I think the winner is a 1970's Bontempi electric organ that still works perfectly. 

[null1 606]

I've seen alot of people mention older gaming consoles in here, especially the Nintendo 64, glad I can say the same. My console looks like it would be broken, but it works. Just takes a few on/offs to get the system to read the cartridge.

 

Star Fox 64 is a classic that I still frequently play. Like last week.

[Tom 891]

I still have two working N64s and a PS1, as well as some gameboy (colour) games, although I've no longer got my original gameboy.

 

Other than that most of my electronic stuff is pretty new, Wii U, Nexus 7 etc.

[PlunderSteed 1,252]

An 1886 Steinway.  Its previous owner got divorced in 1999, and was in a hurry to sell everything that reminded him of it.  I was able to acquire it in 2001 for a little under $10k, which was quite a steal all things considered.  Unfortunately, my job requires me to move every 2 or 3 years, so it's in storage until I can settle down in another 8 or 10 years.

Some of the oldest things I own (that still work) are:

 

* Yamaha Keyboard that I rescued from my parents place this Christmas. They bought it for me in Xmas 1989...I took it home and hooked it up to a £5 midi USB cable I.bought on amazon last week to find it still works! one or two dodgy keys...but I think this is really dirty or corroded connections and could be cleaned!

 

* ZX 81 I inherited when I was a kid (originally my dads, bought in 1981 or 82 I think)

 

I may have tons of old junk here, but these were the first two i could think of!!

Oh. My. Celestia. Thank you for reminding me of that awesome machine, although I had the later version of it. I spent a good deal of my childhood playing The Untouchables and Dizzy the Egg. I miss those games. Although the sounds from the tv from when the tapes were loading still haunt my dreams to this day.

 

... Buck, I'm old.

[Wubsie 1,123]

An old Gameboy Advance. <3 

I play it everyday. Kirby and the Amazing Mirror was by far my favorite Kirby game,. The main reason I play it is because of Kirby, Mario, and nostalgia.

I also have an old Bop It that I still use. Not that appealing more though, I got the new one with shout it for Christmas. I got the high score on bother Advanced and Basic mode. 100 (the max amount)

[crazitaco 596]

our microwave is +23 years old and still functions okay.

the reason i estimate 23 is because my parents got it used as a wedding gift from a friend, and they've been married for atleast 23 years. Its JCPenny's brand, that's why it still works, LOL. they don't make things like they used to :/

[Rocco 567]

this is my 1915 elgin pocket watch. runs like a champ and holds time to rail road accuracy! not bad for  a 100 year old watch.i carry it every day.

[chattydash 62]

meh laptop which i still use to do my schoolwork on it is 13yrs old it is an dell inspron 4000 laptop runs slow but works uses windows 2000 and explore 6 so yay i also have lots of old consols but this is the one i use the most and works but hte ram on this thing is 129 000 kb of ram so yay old  

[Wolf Angel 30]

I have a lot of old stuff, I think. o 3o

 

I have a NES (although it's not the one I had from when I was little. But it works!), SNES (and it's my original!), N64, Gamecube, annnd a PS2. I also have a red Gameboy Advance SP.

I think I also still have my old pink Gameboy Advance and a pokemon-themed Gameboy color... not 100% sure though.

I also have the old Nintendo DS (the clunky-looking one.)

 

I still have a bunch of old Gameboy/Gameboy color/Gameboy Advance cartridges, and I think most of them still work. Same can be said for the games for my other consoles. :3

 

I still have video tapes and a VCR/DVD player~

 

 

And lastly, while I'm not sure if this counts as old or not, most of the computers (laptops and desktops alike) in our house have Windows XP on them. (I think only one laptop has Windows 7 on it, and no one barely uses it.)

XP for the win~!

[SparklingTwilight 109]

I've had my DS lite since 2006, does that count? 

I don't think there's much more than that...

except I do still fit into the singlet I got in 4th grade...

[AcePony 39]

My body? I feel old and decrepid, but I'm still here, young and all. Nah, seriously though, I have some civil war bullets. Still work, can probably still kill a guy if I throw them hard enough.

[.:Freshien:. 30]

I've got an original game boy with working games. It was a big grey brick. So cool. Also have an n64 and all my games still work. kfjava
