have you kept your old games/consoles?

[carp]

i was looking at the thread here, and a lot of people were mentioning that they did have the game, did have a console to play it on, etc. and that struck quite mad to me, as i still have every console and game i've ever owned - so, are you the same or have you thrown out/sold them?

Technically I still have a lot of my games from the PS1 era, but since I moved abroad they're still back with my family. Some broke or got lost over the years, but my absolute favourite game (Guardians Crusade for PS1) I still have to this day. It's a lovely pink disc with the black counter side PS1 discs had. It's weird to think I had this same disc when I was going to primary school (I'm now 24)!

I've never sold or given away any of my old consoles. Whenever I consider selling them, I just think of the good times I had playing on them. I always come back to them sometime, just to relive some old memories.

 

[Captain Crazy Chicken]

No.

 

[GuerreraD]

Let me tell you, I still have (and sometimes even play) the Tetris cartridge that came out in 1986, same year I was born. Both the game and my brick of original GameBoy works perfectly 'til nowadays. Now THAT is old!
Anyway, answering your question, I never got rid of anything, nor games nor consoles

 

[Holla]

Sure have I keep everything other than those games I never really had any interest in or fun with.

Still have my PlayStation One that my Dad gave me after he never really used it anymore. I also still have my first ever system I got (DS Lite) even though it's basically unplayable (buttons are mushy, hinge is cracked, touch screen won't calibrate anymore, and I ruined the cables to the top screen by mistake when trying to fix something else). I recently ordered a used Japanese DS of the same colour to use as parts to fix up mine as I want to keep mine as original as possible as it means a lot to me. It'd be easier just to use the Japanese one (no region lock and it's in perfect working condition), but my original one means a lot to me. Even though I do feel bad tearing apart a perfectly good DS.

My good ol' N64 and Gameboy color still work fine. I still play Kirby 64, Pokemon Silver and Majora's Mask on it.

yeah i'm pretty sure i still have most of my old games?? haven't sold any i'm pretty sure and the ones i don't have are probably ones i grew out of and gave to younger cousins or ones i lost or threw away... most games i played when i was a kid were my brothers' so i don't really have any say in what happens to them :<

 

[PoizonMushro0m]

Well, I own every Nintendo console/handheld ever made. (Except for Virtual Boy) I also own a PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, and original Xbox. I do not plan on getting rid of any of them as I still use them for some purpose. I do not know if I want another home console quite yet, especially because my current shelving for my consoles is pretty crammed as it is at the moment. If I do get another, it might be a Xbox One or Sega Genesis.

 

[ShinyYoshi]

I've never sold a home console that I've owned, so I still have all of the consoles and some are pretty old now. We have a 64, GameCube, Wii, PS2, and Wii U.

As for handheld consoles, I've only sold one which was the first 3DS I owned so the money I got from it could go towards buying myself the New 3DS XL. I still have my Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance, Gameboy Advance SP, the very first DS model, DS Lite, DSi, and my New 3DS XL.

 

[Zane]

Yep I still have every system and game I've ever owned, except for the SNES because those kept breaking for some reason! >:/ (And we lost all our snes games to a flooded room in a previous house anyway, rip) I'm glad I never sold anything because I still like replaying all the older stuff, and the prices of a lot of it has gone way up due to collector value so re-buying it would be a pain. Actually I did sell 3 games before once and I still felt vague regret about it even though they were ones I absolutely never, ever played anymore. lol

 

[windwake-me-up-inside]

I keep all my games and systems. I still have most of the "old" consoles (NES, N64, exc.) and have kept them in working order.

 

[RosieThePeppyCat]

Of course! The only ones I had to get rid of were my Nintendo 64, because at the time we didn't have space for it, and my first GameCube, but later I got one again.

 

[Paperboy012305]

Of course I do. I know where the GC and Wii games are, but the N64 and SNES I have no idea. I doubt any would work properly.

 

[pika62221]

Being a Nintendo fan with their lack of backwards compatibility until the Wii, I was pretty much forced to keep them all! Only the Game Boys were backwards compatible, and I had so few of those, I just kept them. Now, you can dump your Wii, your DS, or even your GameCube, and use the newer systems. Kind of nice, but I miss the days when you HAD to keep the old if you wanted to play old games.

 

[nerdatheart9490]

My ps1 broke down, so I threw it away. But I have all my other systems. All of the gameboys, ds, ps2, gamecube (still my favorite) wii, and xbox 360. I still play the games on those systems, so why not keep them?

 

[DarkDesertFox]

I've only sold some handheld consoles which were the PSP, DS (currently still have one though), and Gameboy SP. The old consoles I currently still have are:

- Dreamcast
- Gamecube
- Wii
- DS
- SEGA Game Gear
- Xbox 360 (I have the Pro version which is pretty old)

I really wouldn't even consider selling them. They hold too many precious memories. I have regrettably parted with some games I wish I kept on the Gamecube though. Some of them I got back. I've still got a lot of the ones that have been with me since I got the console.

 

[Alienfish]

Not really unless I know I play on them regularly. Only old thing I have to keep is my old NES because it's broke and I can't really go to the electricity recycling place nor do that truck come at good times so eh.

Not really any use to fix the connector and I don't know anyone who wants it broke so lol.

 

[Wolfycheeks]

I still have my gamecube, playstation 2, Wii, and 2 DS', they're all just gathering dust, laying somewhere in a box all tangled up and stuff, LOL. I have like 60 gamecube games scattered around the place, some with discs missing, god I always lose my games or they go everywhere. But my 3ds is my life, i'd never do that <3 (total lie, ive lost the box of animal crossing, the 3ds box, etc) but i also love my gaming laptop ofcourse :3

 

[davidlblack]

I sold my DS, and games that I stopped playing (didn't like, bored of...) for DS, Wii, and two EXTREMELY bad 3ds game. Otherwise, no, not really. I have a Wii, Wii U, Gba, 3DS, Gamecube, and N64, as well as a super old NES that won't work.
