Old pieces of tech you STILL own

[Venti Quattro]

In the age of smartphones and computer rigs and smart appliance this and smart appliance that, pretty sure we have pieces of old low-tech stuff which we still use. Maybe we just use it for nostalgia or out of sheer convenience.

I still have a Nokia 1100. I still use it to call and text, and it has a flashlight... because who doesn't love a flashlight in a mobile phone? :lmao

I also still have an old Samsung flip phone but it's already broken down and all that shit so that doesn't count anymore.

[baseline bum]

XBox 360

[jeebus]

Gameboy, Sony D-5 discman, commodore 64, NES, some other 80s stuff that I haven't pulled out of storage in a while.

[Strange Love]

Original Xbox, Windows XP tower, an old Yamaha keyboard.

All working great still, too.

[Bynumite]

Original Game Boy, Sega Master System, some old ass Nokia phones, can't remember the models. Wish i still had my slim PS2.

[Venti Quattro]

I also still have an old boom box that works, and some cassette tapes of the Backstreet Boys to go with it. crofl

[scanry]

Still have my first smartphone (Samsung i500) from Sprint. Pretty good considering how old the phone is (2003). It had touch screen, email, calender, web browsing and a stylus. The phone even came with a spare battery. This was back when Palm was in business.

After a year, Samsung released a windows version of the same phone.

Flip phones are the most swagged out phones ever tbh :lol

Who here owned a palm pocket? You were a god if you had that in the early 2000's.

:lol We had some Palm Pilots at the office... we developed some apps for them back in the day....

[jeebus]

I remember my parents lugging around this thing back in the early 90s. Shit was tits imo.

Them shits were delicate as fuck. Would break so damn easy.

I never could do the grafiti thing properly. Palm had a weird writing style so the stylus was hopeless tbh. For the letter "k", you'd have to write alpha (starting with a dot obviously) with the stylus. No wonder the Blackberry killed it.

Some of the tech proficient professors back then never could get enough of the palm. I remember the next big thing that bombed back then was the Sony Ericsson P900. Shit was $750 then.

Then came the Moto Razr & Sony Ericsson T610. Everyone had the T610 in the mid 2000's.

I still have my Handspring Visor Deluxe.

[Leetonidas]

Lost my PS1 a long time ago but still have the 2 and the original Xbox.

I still have my copy of Final Fantasy I from when I was a child for the NES :lol

[leemajors]

I have my 007 completed copy of Goldeneye, one of the only things I kept when I moved the last time. Lots of shit still at my mom's house tho :lol

I still have one too. Motorola Tundra. Still works great too. The antenna on that thing was sick. Would get signal anywhere.

[DJR210]

Anyone remember those shitty ass Tiger LCD handhelds? Horrible, horrible, excuse for something playable.

Yup, those were pretty popular back in the day. So fucking boring, even back then IMO.

[Wild Cobra]

The oldest I have is probably my Commodore 64 with two hard drives and monitor. I also have an Ericsson CF688 cell phone, my first, from I think 1997? Maybe '98. My first smartphone is a... Damn, I forget. Not sure where it is, but I picked it up in '07. I have a PS2, Sharp Zarus,

Oh...

I do have an electric train set from the 30's! It was my Uncles originally, then his younger brother's... my father... and became mine when I was a kid in the 60's.

[jeebus]

tbh lefty and Venti Quattro need to get in here and post their current smartphones.

[Wild Cobra]

I used to have a mechanical calculator in the 70's, similar to this:

Got given a Gen 1 Playstation yesterday with several games. Not sure if it even works yet but I was told it did. Haven't played with one in forever...so I'm kinda hoping it does. Gotta track down a copy of Tekken 2 tbh.

Sooo did it work? Can I still buy a unit of the PS1 somewhere?

I'm sure ebay is selling about a million of them for around $20.

[benefactor]

Yep. Most of the games I got with it suck but the snowmobile racing game is pretty fun. Found a used copy of Tekken 2 at a site called JJGames. They have the PS1 unit too...and reviews for the site are good.

:lol Thinking about it.... I think I want to play Crash Bandicoot 1, 2, and 3 again

[anakha]

I still have a NES in storage somewhere. Does that make me an insufferable gaming hipster?

[DMC]

My dad still has the Intellivision I had in HS.

[Wild Cobra]

:lol Thinking about it.... I think I want to play Crash Bandicoot 1, 2, and 3 again

Yep.

Those are good. Don't they work on the PS2? My daughter had the Crash's, and I loved it. They moved when she did.

:cry

I need to find the box my slide rule is in, take a picture of it, and show it off!

Wow...

Thanks for reminding me of them. I am downloading 1, 2, and 3 into my PS3 right now at $5.99 each.

[Venti Quattro]

Wow. Can you please tell me if the game's aspect ratio is 16:9 or 4:3?

[Wild Cobra]

Wow. Can you please tell me if the game's aspect ratio is 16:9 or 4:3?

It's the original 4:3, and looks like it is put in a 1440 x 960 pixel viewing centered in the screen on my FHD (1920 x 1080.) Borders all around.

I have previously downloaded older games like Jaks and Daxter.

Played the first part of all three. All like that. Jaks and Daxter does fill the screen if I remember right, but a while since I played it.

Damn, what's good on PS1? I was an N64 guy in that generation due to Goldeneye and Ocarina of Time, but I played the shit out of PS2.

[scanry]

Still got one of these Panasonic radios. The leather is top notch and has lasted a good 25 years without any damage whatsoever.

Or you can just launch the PS intro over and over..that alone is worth owning the system.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAhvQoLpvsM

Man, so many memories from the PS1 days..I can remember getting one soon after launch and being the only kid in the neighborhood with one. I used to disconnect it when we left and hide it, because if someone broke in, they weren't getting my damn Playstation that's for sure.

I used to love Twisted Metal..first game I bought and knew nothing about it..bought it simply based on the box description. NFL Gameday was the shit.. Mortal Kombat 3 was arcade perfect. Tekken 1 and 2 and Battle Arena Toshinden of course...Destruction Derby was great..Played the shit out of Extreme Games..Metal Gear Solid and Tenchu were amazing, first stealth games I played.. I used to love under the radar gems like Loaded too.

Not sure how tech savvy you are benefactor (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/member.php?u=13284), but you can download and burn basically any PS or PS2 game you want from here: I think playing burned games on a gen 1 PS is as easy as taping the little button the lid holds down when closed so you can open the lid and swap games without the PS knowing you opened the lid.

DJR210 summed it up pretty well. I enjoyed Gran Turismo and Need For Speed Hot Pursuit at well.

[lefty]

I have a PS3 if that counts as old thech :lol

Had PS1 and PS2 before that



That Tekken 2 intro on PS1


GOAT intro :cry

Only driving games I like are the GTA series, and fighting games attained perfection at MK II and have gone downhill since then tbh. Guess I was right to skip PS1 and go N64.

N64 rapes PS1 without any abandon. The Zelda games alone makes it clearly the alpha console of the mid to late 90s.

Goldeneye alone would have too. As would Conker's Bad Fur Day. Man N64 was great even if I thought Mario 64 sucked.

Yeh, right...

I found my slide rule and looked it up. They stopped making it in 1934. Didn't realize my hand-me-down for High School Chemistry and Physics was that old.

Now it's old for a 64 bit processor!
