I still have my 16 (almost 17) year old Adidas reversible coat. It's one of the best I've owned, and other than some zipper issues is like brand new. Once I have enough cash I want to get the zippers repaired on it though. If I fixed that you'd never know it was that old.

I also keep a lot of swag and stuff from various betas and things I've been on.

Oh yeah and tech stuff.

I have a Commodore 64, an IBM 286 with 20MB hard drive (running a stripped down Win 3.11 with Best of Windows Entertainment Pack), Telegames, NES, SNES, N64, Sega Master System, Atari 7200, Sega Genesis, etc.

Heck even my current desktop and all its parts are 6 years old...although I don't know if that fits into the want to keep category. I'd love to replace it...and well yeah maybe still keep it for a server or something.

Oh and my Halo 3 Zune 30...signed by Marty O'Donnell. I can even provide a picture for that one. (It also has a copy of ODST signed by the Bungie crew in that pic)

I had nothing else to do so I took a few photos of what I had within reach. To keep in the spirit of things I used my crappy 12 year old digital camera. :laugh:

Outdated Processors

A couple pictures of some of my ISA and PCI cards I took a few years ago.

Panasonic Video Cartridge Player, this one isn't mine but it's the model I have

I wish I still had our IBM PC jr, we had about 10 TI 99/4A's with ALL the expansion stuff and pretty much every floppy and cartridge made for it at one point too.. about 10yrs ago we threw them away :/ I think we had the same modem you have in that one pic too... was that a 300 baud one with the old 25 pin serial connector on it and a ton of red LED lights on the front?

That one is originally a 28.8 (later flashed to 56k), but I believe their older modems may have used that same design. The white one is a 56k v92.

I got a 1962 stereo vacuum tube magnavox phonegraph console....

I got a 1964 klh 11 portable record player made in the usa

I got a 1963 fisher 800c tube vacuum tube stereo reciever

I also collect 8bit and 16bit games

I think this thread would be a lot better if people posted photos of the items they are saying they have. I mean, I could come on here and spout off about how I have got this and that old products when in reality I have none of it.

I agree with you, but unless YOU want to dig through the boxes in the attic and basement, you'll just have to take my word for it.

Here's a pic just for you though. :p

Here's a closer shot for everyone else:

From left to right: 486DX-33, DX2-50, DX2-66, P166, IBM/Cyrix P-200, another P133

Why I keep them, don't know.

Also have a Amiga A500 w/250MB HDD, 1084S monitor, but I'm not dragging it out of the basement. And yes it works perfectly.

Super Nintendo stuff. Can't let go of it, ever. Especially since my Super Nintendo is a genetic mutation immune from yellowing.

huh, didn't know Super Famicom games fit into the SNES slot, always thought they made them different shapes so you couldn't do that as a type of region lock *lol*

You are correct, there are a couple of tabs inside that prevent the cart from physically getting inserted. I just melted mine down and haven't had any problems getting imports to work.

    • Payday TWO!! Is 13 years old man I feel old - I remember trying it out and if I did not know I would say 5-6 years ago or something
    • Payday 2 engine upgrade adds 64-bit and DX11 support, drastically shrinks install size by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Payday 2, the most popular entry in the heisting game franchise, is getting a surprising update after all these years. This is slated to be a complete engine upgrade that will enhance almost every aspect of the 13-year-old title, targeting performance, loading times, file size, rendering backend, and more. Developer Sidetrack Games is planning a beta to test out the new version ahead of the full public launch. The development team today revealed that the long-awaited upgrade to the 64-bit architecture is happening with this Diesel 3.0 engine update. By letting the game use more ram than 4GB, it is said to improve stability and compatibility on most hardware. It should also help modders in the long term with implementing larger changes too. "While many of the changes are made on the backend and not everything will be visible to you guys because it is a massive rewrite of the entire codebase, there will be a lot of things that you can look forward to," Sidetrack explained. Payday 2 will also hop over from DirectX 9 to 11. Instead of visual improvements, this is slated to reduce the amount of VRAM used by the title, letting more lower-end hardware access the title and run it better. Since these changes would require a complete redownload of the game anyway, Sidetrack says it has revamped "the game's packaging and bundling system." This should reduce the installation size from 86GB to 32GB. "So, now it's time to finally move the game to your SSDs," added the studio. The Payday 2 Diesel Engine 3.0 update is entering open beta on June 30 for Steam users. No console release plans were announced today. Sidetrack Games says it has been working on this complete rewrite of the codebase for the last nine months. While these changes should break most mods, the studio encouraged modders to use the beta period to repair their creations with support from the development team.
