Despite the time between the launch of the first generation consoles, incredibly most popular video game devices of the eighties and nineties still compatible with modern components. Certainly some devices may have problems with analog signals, but in theory most TVs available in the current market should be able to read the information send by a Nintendo or Sega Master System.
The three most common types of connections today are HDMI, RCA and coaxial cable. Of these three, the last two were already employed to make the game work since the 80s.
