N64, released 1996. Probably last powered up a couple of years ago, found nephews had broken my controllers and still haven't found replacements.

Probably one of my fatboi Gameboys. Those things pretty much never die in general.

I've got several old Gameboys (some gray models somewhere, plus a red), a GB-P, two GBCs, and a SNES, among other things.

My brother has most of the consoles we shared growing up like the NES, SNES & N64. I do have a PS1 and Dreamcast.

My Telegames Pong clone. I'm pretty sure that's older than my 2600, especially since my 2600 is labeled as such and not a VCS (meaning it's a later model).

I also have a Sega Genesis that works, though I got it for $10 at a flea market.

I keep using my 10 year old TV because it still has inputs going back that far. I'm only missing lightgun support (not CRT) and the ability to disable overscan (which currently only matters with some PS4 games, but next gen would likely be a pain).

I have that duckhunt/mario combo and was confused when the gun didn't work, had to look it up that flat screens didn't work with it.

Same here.

Do TVs no longer have coax inputs? I haven't looked into buying a TV in years. I believe the 2600's RF adapter has those two wires with the hooks that you'd screw into the back of old TVs (IIRC the antenna input). All you need is one of these for the RF adapter:

I do recall it being unable to get a clear pocture when I hooked mine up to my LED HDTV -- like it had really bad static.

I own a Magnavox Odyssey 2 but I haven't been able to test if it works or not. The next oldest system would be my NES and that works for sure (I just played it earlier this week).

If handheld LCD games (like the Game & Watch) count then I change my answer to Pac Man 2 by Entex Electronics as I'm pretty sure that came out in '81.

The ps2 is the only system I have ever had to replace I have owned. I've owned 3: a refurbished one that lasted 5 years, a brand new one that lasted almost 3 years, and a refurbished one that has lasted since '08. Although, the last one hasn't been touched in at least 5 or 6 years. That certainly adds to the longevity

SNES is the one of my older 2 video game systems, I play the most. I have an ORIGINAL Game Boy(before GBC and GBA) white 'brick' one, that I last played on a few years ago. And as I remember got that system a little bit before, I got my SNES. Was just testing it that day a few years ago to make sure it still works, and it does still work! Also I briefly once had an NES I got at a yard sale in the mid to late 90s, but sadly that system eventually stopped working for me. :(

The oldest console I have is probably a model 2 Genesis. I got it at a yard sale about 10 years ago. Still works.

The oldest console that's been in my possession the longest is my PS1. I've had it since early 2000. It's still hooked up.

1st-gen O.G. Game Boy that's coming up on 30 years old (I got it in 1990). Speaker crackles a little if you turn the volume up to max, but earbuds solve that problem. Next oldest would be a original Playstation from 95-96 (the big square one) that I got from a cousin in maybe 98? Back to 'always mine', a redesign SNES that I got for Christmas in '97, then a smoke-tint N64.
