NES
NES-101 console (aka Top Loader NES)
GBA
Glacier Blue GBA
Power Rangers Time Force & Ninja Storm 2 in 1 cart
Other
Jet the Hawk RC toy
Super Mario Bros. (1993 film, Laserdisc, Japanese release)
The GBA I plan on trying out a screen mod. I've been curious about doing that with the original model GBA, but didn't want to do anything to my childhood console. With the Top Loader NES, I learned that while all legacy video ports (S-Video for example) are pretty much gone from modern TVs, you can still hook up anything that outputs RF. I assumed that the coaxial/antenna port on the TV would only accept a digital signal, but nope. For shits 'n giggles I hooked up the NES to it and it showed up on the screen. It doesn't look great of course, but it does look better than I expected and way better than hooking the console through a VCR with HDMI out.
