I've still got a Casio QV-10 digital camera from 19 years ago (no idea if it works) but I suspect that's probably the only gadget I've got.

Garmin eMap from 1999 is probably the second closest.

My old man still has his first computer, a ZX-81.

Tried to get it working a few years ago, but couldn't get it to display on the TV. Wasn't sure if it was even powered on because the thing has no lights on it, it was prior to LEDs being commonplace. I didn't have an oscilloscope or the skills to debug it.

Having just finished off 4th year embedded systems I'm probably a bit more qualified to debug it now than I was in high school.

And now I feel old because that was my first computer too.

I've got an Atari Lynx somewhere from about 19 years ago. It was a current(ish) console then. I imagine that this game is more the result of a 19-year journey in procedural space games than a game 19 years in development.
