I miss the old days of the PS1 where you got a chip fitted into the machine and then used a spring so it would still boot up when the lid was open.

And you could cheat with games by plugging Action Replay or Gameshark into the serial port which basically just fucked with the game's memory. I don't even know what the serial port was actually meant for.
