SNES, Genesis, N64 all seem like they could withstand nuclear bombs and still work. My SNES and N64 still work great IMO

The cartridge sticking out of the n64 seems like a vulnerability. The GameCube, however, is fucking indestructible.

I have like 5 NES systems and the cartridge slot is a piece of shit. You have to take it apart and clip a pin on the lockout chip

The snes and genesis and n64 still work fine

I haven't hooked up my old psx or dreamcast in probably 20+ years

The first xbox has capacitors that will leak acid on the motherboard and destroy it, the xbox 360 had the red ring of death and idk about the rest, ljl at micro$oft

My ZOZO ‘04 Limited Edition is showing no signs of slowly down, crazy but true, longevity helped I suspect by Rach’s commitment to server hamster/gerbil et al. continuity to make the generational transitions smooth and uneventful, periodic (cyber)performance art to the contrary notwithstanding

Didn't they pull up a gameboy color from a shipwreck at the bottom of the ocean and it still worked

has anyone here ever done that "Recalibration" to their OG Gameboy and Gameboy Color? Apparently it helps a lot
