Before 9/11 I boarded a plane at 19 with two huge bags of weed that I could smell the entire time. I was also 6 when nintendo hit, my infatuation with video games has never stopped.

When I was a kid, I packed my NES to take with me on a vacation… including the “Duck Hunt” light gun. My bag got scanned by the airport security, and the officer opened my bag, took a look at my light gun, snorted and put it back.

Today, that would have gotten me an express ride to Guantánamo Bay.

Those of us Xennials, born in the Nineteen Hundreds, tended to have a curfew that started when the street lights came on. We still played outside as much as we played videogames.

Well it's no Atari but it looks alright

IJUSTATEPOOP OP t1_j22z4b8 wrote

This is so much better than Atari it's not even funny. Mark's dad has the Atari 800 computer that costed him like $1000 and Mark and I snuck into his office while he was gone to play on it. This was three years ago, so Mark and I had only ever played our 2600s, but the graphics on the 800 were so much better. This is a whole different ballgame even compared to that.

A shame no one wants it. (Nintendo had trouble at launch due to the recent crash. They did lots of tactics to convince retailers its a toy and not a video game. See R.O.B. as an example)

The issue was convincing retail stores to actually purchase and stock units, people were plenty into it once it actually hit the market.

Most kids these days can’t appreciate the classics, I remember when video games were 16 pixels wide, that was considered advanced! Nowadays these kids are so spoiled with their 4k graphics and 144 fps monitors!

I made my 9 year old play the original Zelda and she’d the nerve to say: ‟dad these video games are not only outdated but designed to sell strategy guides in order to maximise profits, emulation introduces problems that’dn’t exist on console conditions such as input delay, therefore all the cards are stacked against me, there’s no way you expect me to beat this within even the week!”

She’s such a spoiled brat, I took away her iPad, Switch, and her new iPhone, that should show her to be appreciative!

I remember xmas 86 so fucking well. I had asked Santa for an NES. Got up at like 4am (I was 5, I was too hyped to sleep at Christmas), woke up my parents and my mom set up the camera before I could go in the living room (at my house, Santa didn’t wrap gifts, they were always placed in front of the tree for us to see as we walked in). I freaked. It’s by far the best Christmas gift I’ve ever received.

I wonder if the next console will be called Super Nintendo and they make some nintendo games with better visuals and such OR a more realistic console like a 64 machine or something like that where Mario will move around in a 3d manner and also have a real voice and such. WHAT IF L8ER ON THE NEXT CONSOLE IS CALLED GAMEBOX OR GAMECUBE AND A NEW MARIO COMES OUT CALLED MARIO SUNSHINE? Then L8er ThE nExT coNSOle is Called WII and new MArIO game called Mario Space or Galaxy and then the 2nd one comes out and then in the next console they SWITCH To a more original NaMe Called Change or Switch and they release a new mario called Mario Odyssey?

Damn if only that were possible, oh well, gonna see if the new poopy pants is on nintendo or I'm going to have to buy a different console where they have the game.
