Mind moving your head so I can get a better look at those Star Trek ship models?

>>7220246
Boomer fag

I think the only cute retro video game stories I have are me losing my shit at Yoshi's Island's graphics after getting a SNES, and the pokemon thing. Me and my sister wanted Pokemon Red for our gameboys and our mother was going to get it after work. She came home and said they were out and we were pretty bummed, but we opened up the bags our take-out dinner was in and there they were. We freaked out lol. Shame how massively ass the series is now, it used to be pretty magical stuff.

>>7220246
Damn you make me feel young. I was born in 95 am I Zoomer, millenial, or boomer?

>>7220246
Here's a pic of Frank Stallone playing 4chan on her PSX

>>7221126
>commonly using the zoomer, millenial, or boomer terms
You're a zoomer newfag that first started using 4chan some time after 2012

>>7220246
>1999 was 21 years ago

>>7221143
>first started using 4chan some time after 2012
2016 to be precise good sir. And who told you?

>>7220246
I got pokémon blue for christmas in 1999.

Few days later, one of the strongest storm to ever me my country hit. Major electrical failure in the entire country.
I remember playing Pokémon in the kitchen just next to the window to try and get some moonlight on the screen, which was incredibly fitting since in game I was in the cave that requires Flash.

Oh, and first thing that dude showed me (aside from power up/shut down, do not touch system32) that evening was how to play botmatch in UT99.

>>7221143
im 94 and been here since 2010
am i forever a newfag?

>>7221223
yes, you could have been an oldfag, but it seems you were too pussy to join at the age of 12.

>>7220426
here's one of them

>>7221235
Unironically this. Most oldfags came here underage. Even moot was underage when he created the site.

>>7221171
Sadly, he can't, as everyone who has ever been on 4chan is cursed to be here forever. The only way for him to leave us alone, is to become an hero

>>7221174
>pentium motherfucking III, gf2
Bruh, he couldve gotten you a pentium 4, and a gf3

>>7221279
How old are you? 36?

>>7221310
>pentium 4
In the late 2001? Waaaaaay out of reach for a middle class household at that time, and it was pretty rare too.
Not to mention, PIII rig was already kind of a high-end setup. Something like SS7 with a P1 MMX or even K6-2 (if you managed to find one) was a way more common solution (and even then it would cost you a little fortune).

I remember getting my SNES during one of my first Christmases in the United States.

Apparently some of my dad's coworkers helped chip in and bought a bunch of gifts for me.

>>7221335
If you we're living in a post-communist country at the time, your dad coulve done what my dad did. Let me explain :
>Germans(mostly the ones from the west) are pretty fucking rich
>They often throw perfectly functioning shit in the trash, just cuz they want something new, or cuz its slightly broken
>My dad would often go there, with his car, and bribe someone at the landfill like 20 euros, to let him scavenge the landfill
>Then, once he would fill his car with second-hand, working(or just easily-fixable) high-end technology, he would often find an entire car there, atach it to his main car, and also fill that
>Then, he would come back home, fix all that stuff, keep all the stuff that is better than ours, and sell the rest
I remember around 2004-2005, getting a free, super high end, corsair, gygabite stick of ddr2 memory, that ran at 675 Mhz. That was just an example

>>7220246
Not mine, saved it from another thread over a year ago.

Me playing Sonic 3's PC port in 1999. I'm in the blue shirt.

>>7221403
I played that too on pc. My mum made me get rid of the game because she said it would hurt my eyes because it was so pixelated. Was around 2004 though

>>7221432
>it would hurt my eyes because it was so pixelated
Is she now anti-vax, a flat earther, and believes that 5G causes the coronavirus?

There were some Christmas-themed Dreamcast homebrews that I was burning circa 2002

Christmas 1997 my Dad got me a Pentium Windows 95 machine. I was 8 years old, one of four, and the only one who took an interest in computers. Came with Quake, Tomb Raider 2, bunch of DOS games, but more importantly, a copy of Visual Studio 97 (*totally* legally of course). Changed my life, software developer now.

I wish I could find pictures of it. Once the pandemic is a bit less shit I'll look through old family photos to see if I can find any.

>>7220246
That knitted dinosaur sweater looks fuckin awesome.

>>7221369
Did your old man get rich from doing that?

>>7221279
Based! Very nice.

This is probably Pokemon Blue or something on GBC. I wish I could be that happy about anything again.

My dad pulled a Christmas Story on me when I was like 8. All I wanted for Christmas was Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets for PS1. When Christmas was all over my dad asked me if I got everything I wanted for Christmas and I sighed and said "yeah...I got everything" Then he said "Why don't you grab me the sports magazine from the couch" (we had one of those things on the couch you could lift up and store magazines in) and sure enough there it was. Spent the rest of the day throwing goblins.

>>7221789
>Is she now anti-vax
There's nothing wrong with being against vaccines.

>>7224093
Get polio, faggot

>>7224135
Why do you care if other people don't want to get vaccinated? As long as you get vaccinated, you're fine, right goy?

>>7222392
Not THAT rich, since he had a bar with 4 employees, that wasnt making a lot of sales, so he lost a lot of money of that

>>7224256
Can't tell if youre just baiting, or are actually that fucking retarded.
Anyway, get polia and die, faggot!

>>7223915
I sure do know that feeling. Also hot damn that couch looks comfy.

>>7220246
Playing Super Mario Bros 3 on a weird hotel pay per play system in Florida in 1998 was comfy.

>>7223923
That's the PS2 version in the image. Still a based game though

>>7220246
I remember one year, my grandma and grandpa got me and my brother (they raised us) an entire couch full of Gameboy and Pokemon shit. Most of them were cheap third-party Gameboy accessories meant for the Gameboy Color (things like snap-on protective cases and pen lights) and I only had a Gameboy Pocket so most of it wouldn't fit, but I didn't want to say anything since I appreciated the thought. It turned out the Gameboy Colors were in some of the last boxes.

Now that I think back to it, I think that was my last real childhood Christmas. My brother and I were growing older, Grandpa's health began deteriorating, and the extended family ended up on bad terms with each other because of it, so we kinda stopped bothering. I'm glad I can remember the last one so vividly, just because of the Gameboy Color thing.

>>7227881
I'm happy that you had that time, anon. Some of the best moments are fleeting.

>>7221126
Late millenial, 96 is early gen z.

>>7220246
I got ff7 and a psx on christmas 97.

>>7221126
You just missed the cutoff. You're (unfortunately) a millennial.

>>7221296
Yep. I was 13 in 2011 when I first came here.

>>7221369
>getting a free, super high end, corsair, gygabite stick of ddr2 memory, that ran at 675 Mhz
Wow!!! How lucky you are!!! Please tell us more about those treasures you find in trash cans. I'm sure you have found plenty of luxury food too in there.

>>7220246
In 1997 I got a PlayStation. I lived in Bolivia at the time and our town wasn't dirt poor but it was working class. My dad won a small lottery that year and decided to go all out for Christmas leading to me being the only person in town with a modern console. So I suddenly found myself with loads of new friends that year.

>>7220246
Nobody is gonna mention the high resolution/quality of the photo?

i discovered my original NES would output the RF and its composite jacks at the same time when I got a new TV for christmas. I connected my old TV at the same time just cuz I could

>>7228341
Now that you mention it, it is suspicous. Maybe he used film when he took the photo?

>>7228291
Damn, bro, I was just giving an example. I wasnt trying to blog about myself. Theres no need to get this autistic about this

>>7228583
it's a blurred as fuck upscaled scan

>>7228215
