my NES is still running so I can't fault it on reliability.

My Atari 2600 still works just fine...

Have Pong as well, but I haven't checked it in many years. Pretty sure it still works.

Nintendo Lunchbox... I mean Nintendo Gamecube, the thing even has a handle to carry it around wherever you want to go

23 years, 15-20 drops, filled and covered with various food and drink and nothing wrong but a floppy flap, yes that's right it's the immortal NES.

I'd say that the 2600, NES2, SNES, and the Genesis are all very reliable consoles.

It's got to be the sega megadrive/genesis ! Had loads of them in my time to sell/fix usually only a bad power connector at the back from bad use.

You can do pretty much anything to a genesis (model 1) and it will still run :-)

please no one else say a Nes cause we all know most of them suffer from the blinking red light cause the game cart doesn't make contact... Hapens to pretty much them all sooner or later

Yea you still have to blow in the cartidge of the NES to get them to run. My pick would be my Intelivision it still runs great, even the speach pack still works. And as mentioned the Atari 2600 is still going strong!

i have a snes, atari lynx and an amstrad cpc464 that still work.
i think anything made before 94/95 can be classed as reliable.
Since then, reliability seemed to go downhill amongst electronics in general (the saturn is an exception, as mine is still going strong)

For me it's my 2600,Sega Saturn, Dreamcast and 1st gen PS2 all of which have and continue to work flawlessly.
