My parents have one from around 1999 that they still use as their primary TV lol. I have a zenith that I play all my older consoles on. I'm not really sure how old it is, I got it from my job for like 5 bucks after they upgraded the TV in the breakroom to HD a few years ago, its probably like early 00s but I don't really know. The oldest TV I remember having was from probably around 1988 or so, I wasn't alive when we first got it, but it was the TV in us kids' room when I was growing up. It was the kind you literally had to bang on the side to get the picture to work lol. Played so many SNES games on that bad boy. I miss that TV.

The oldest tv I own is a RCA black/white tv that is 5" from 1982. I got it for 3 bucks. I planned on using it for Commodore 64 games but I still dont have a Commodore yet.

As far as in use, all of my older games are used on a 20" standard flat screen tv from probably 2003. Now this may be stupid question so forgive my ignorance in advance, does CRT mean "tubed" tvs? Mine is a flat and I was wondering should I search for an older tubed tv meaning non flat screen for my older game systems?

CRT means cathode ray tube and yes they are the huge tube tv's. Most CRT screens are curved but some of the newer ones also have flat screens.

Thanks. Mine is flat but is there a way for me to verify that its a CRT?

I still have my old 13" Samsung tv from when I was a kid. It's been hooked up to every game system I owned up to the PS2 (running through a VCR). It's currently in storage at my sister's house, but hopefully I can pick it up soon.
