I still have all my old systems even the nes which I first gamed on, technically it’s my parents. But they don’t game at all so it’s really more mine than anyone else’s in the family.
A 1984 MSX home computer. It was the first computer I had. My grandfather gave it to me in 1985 when he upgraded to a new model. I didn't have a lot of software for it, but it had Microsoft Basic built-in. With a lot of books from my grandfather, I learned to not only program in Basic, but Z80 assembler as well. I used that thing so much I wore out the keyboard.
I recently picked up a matching color CRT monitor for it. I never had a color monitor for it and only hooked it up to the family TV infrequently. I saw the color monitor locally for cheap and after doing a lot of repairs and fixing it up it looks awesome. Really cool to see how good of an image my old computer could do. Still love the old black and green monitor though, that's how I remember it.
Computer is still running and with a big memory expansion I even have DOS 2.0 running on it. Somebody hacked FAT16 into that, so I can theoretically access 4GB of data. On a machine that only has 64kb of ram to start with.
Oldest system, by release year its my Hong Kong 6 Switch Atari 2600. Local guy was selling it and it was in immaculate condition. Dust cover on the system, with boxed games.
At the time I was selling games and systems, so I kept the system and 2 games for myself. Don't use it much since its a 2600, but I have it on my shelf.
Oldest system I own is my GBC, had it since before my youngest sibling was born and I still have it today. Obviously doesn't get much use since GBA SP, but I still keep it around.
Sega Mega Drive with the blue reset button. My pops got it for me when I was a kid to distract me. Doesn't see a lot of use but I'll never sell it, got the 32X for it as well which is just a regret brick.
