    eventually but that will likely be long after most of us are dead. old consoles and carts are built like a brick house and most of them are repairable even games that have batteries. Just look at the N64 for example. that thing is like the Toyata truck of consoles.

      Could be. Video game consoles are a young medium, so hard to say if the old consoles will still be going in 30 years or so.

        I’ve found that the real problem is having a television to plug them in to. Still got my old NES and SNES from when I was a kid. But no modern TV has the RF input to connect them to, they’re all digital only. Emulation is much easier.
