Your longest living console

[elvis]

None of us said it was our first console.

I guess I'm the only one not fickle enough to go selling old consoles.

After it I got an SMS and then my MegaDrive. I was all-Sega until the SNES.

While most of my old consoles wound up getting sold, given away (our NES way given to my aunt... and for many years one of the things I looked forward to to most when going to visit her was playing Nintendo), damaged (our original PS1 and PS2), or flat out disappeared (my Genesis got stored away somewhere when the Sega Channel service died and I had no games to play... then many years later when I looked for it I couldn't find it), I still have my original SNES 14 or so years later. It's power plug jiggles a bit so it has it's issues, but it still works.

PS1 as far as Ive owned but ive got a original NES w/ original connectors and everything.

My Nes is still going, though I've replaced the 72 pin connector.

Nor did we say we sold em'

My Colecovision and Atari were lost in a fire when I was in 3rd grade. And my NES died.

Also some people may not of been able to afford consoles prior to that.

The original question wasn't what is your first console. It was what console lasted the longest. My genny is the top on that list.

And all Sega until the SNES??? I mean come on, that's the same generation as the Genny. You were all sega WHILE you had your SMS and Genny, not after.

All Sega is how I was all Sega from 91' until I started collecting other consoles in 01'.

Actually, I need to amend my previous entry. My family had an Atari 2600 and a ColecoVision when I was young. As far as I know those systems still work. Those must be going on about 25 years now.
