Not as old, as a lot of these systems. But I've still got my SNES, and will probably never get rid of it. Especially when a working example is worth more now, than when I got a cheap one in 1997.

Atari 2600 (the newer one - 1992) Sega Game Gear (best hand-held console at the time - crapped all over the Gameboy) Gameboy (Free with the SNES) Sega Mega Drive (games were 5 bucks 10 years ago!) PSX I have emulators, but they just don't beat having the real thing.

the 1541 drive can plug into a pc parallel port (with soldering), and run using an emulator, the files (easyscript) were then mostly readable in wordpad. The floppy disks were over 15 years old at the time and over half of them still read ok. |

I remember the big day unpacking my first PC. Spent months collecting cans and bottles (in SA) to help fund it and when my parents decided I had done enough they made up what I was short. It was an apple IIe, 64k Ram with twin floppy drives and green screen, better than the school's computer at the time, cost a bit over 3 grand in the mid 80's. I asked mum if it was still in a cupboard a few years back but she'd gotten around to throwing it out.
