/vr/ - Retro Games

some kind of gramophone lmao

it's a white persons spice rack

>>7431978
>t. kiddo who just found this in his parent's closet of old shit and asked them what it was

Truthfully even when they were relevant very few people owned them because the vast majority of people rented games during the NES era and didn't own enough carts to need a big storage bin. I grew up in a middle class school with a few doctors kids on the upper end of things, but mostly restaurant owners, plumbers, accountant type parents. Most kids had between 4-6 carts they actually owned, regardless of their parents wealth they were considered something you rent not own, except for a special game for birthday or christmas maybe.

This was peak of the VHS era, and any place that rented movies also had a Nintendo section. It also helped parents regulate time spent on video games as they could limit rentals to the weekend. Few people owned VHS tapes so why own games?

>>7432013
It's for audio cassettes

>>7432013
Except that little zoomie's picture is of a cassette tape organizer. Nothing to do with games.

>>7432018
They had NES cart version too. Zellers sold them and no one ever bought one.

I'm sorry for ruining your thread, lil zoom. I'm sure the other kids will show up for a nice larp session.

>>7432050
Leave me and my thread alone. You got outted after having to reverse imagesearch my photo now stop damage controlling and GET OUT!

>>7432053
Are you going to be okay, little guy? You're trying real hard to make it seem like this is all an elaborate troll, but pretty much everyone can tell it isn't.

Another kiddo larping thread successfully derailed.

>>7432034
The first VHS tape that people bough to own in any measurable number was Top Gun. Before top gun most movies on VHS cost $60-$80. In a brilliant marketing move, Top Gun was sold in stores for only $26.99.

The next movie to do this kind of stunt was Batman when it launched its VHS also at a very low price of just $19.99. Disney followed with their clamshell packaged classics and convinced consumers to finally own and not rent movies by the early 90s. Even then most people limited their collections to thing's like the star wars trilogy and Jurassic park. Rentals still dominated all form of home media until the late 90s.

>>7432082
Nothing got derailed you got found out with your google searching bullshit which is what it's for. Now GTFO BITCH!
>>>/v/

>not keeping your games hidden under your underwear in your dresser so your brother can't play them

It's time to farm those sweet butthurt (You)s.

What was the point if this thread? No one gained anything and literally all of us are worse off for having read it.

>>7432086
you are absolutely fucking retarded and wrong, home vhs wasnt even about the retail tapes, it was about being able to record the tv, or hook two decks up and straight up pirate the vhs tapes, which we did all the time

>>7432086
>most movies on VHS cost $60-$80.
I'm british and if you're not pulling this out of your arse, im laffin

>>7432097
>What was the point if this thread?
This thread happened because some weird little kid recently discovered that what he thought was old junk in his parent's attic was in fact an authentic vaporwave certified, Max Headroom approved, original 80's relic. The problem is that he didn't know exactly what the relic was for and assumed it was something to do with video games. Instead of just asking someone who'd know, he decided to start a thread with a shitty pic and some cringy gatekeeping. Imagine how stupid and embarrassed he's feeling now that he's discovered his authentic eighties artifact has shit to do with vidya like he thought?

To answer your question, this thread never had a point.

>>7432086
Kek he keeps doubling down
Keep larping sweetie

>>7432127
Dude, you got outted. Stop trying to defend your honor you failed miserably even more than Atari when they released E.T on the 2600.

The reason why this board fucking sucks is just the endless amounts of gatekeeping there is and the resulting hissy fits.

No one gives a fuck about an Atari cartridge drawer, you don't need to know what a pointless, plasticky piece of shit is to enjoy the fucking games that go into it GOD DAMN YOU!

>>7432159
its for audio tapes, its not for game carts, that is the trap, the sperg trap

>>7432086
I'm not even going to try to read your post but FYI everyone had a collection of VHS tapes.

>>7432152
>failed miserably even more than Atari
Ironic, considering this entire thread exists because you thought you'd found some old Atari shit in your parent's closet.
>oh man, it's old with woodgrain!
>i've never actually seen a 2600 game, but i bet they'd fit in this! i mean, what else could this thing possibly be for?!
>this is atari stuff! time to take a pic and larp on /vr/!
"dude, it's for storing your audio tapes"
>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE GO BACK TO /v/ ZOOMIE LARPY FAGHHHOTTTTS AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGHHHHHHHHH!

>>7432168
Look at the IP counter. You're replying to the OP. He knows it's for tapes now. He's just really embarrassed and trying to distance himself from his larpy fuckup.

>>7432175

Your life would be so much better if you were, though. Plenty of government programs to help you become something other than a pile of excuses living in a basement you don't own. The genetics required to be within ten feet of a female without her either visibly retching or pulling her kids away from you. Hell, you might finally get laid.

No, I'm not implying it. I'm outright stating it as fact.

>>7432404
You realize if you'd just asked your parents what that thing was they'd have told you and then slapped you for thinking it was for Atari carts. You could've avoided making this thread and wouldn't have to be here desperately reporting every post in the hopes a janny will take pity on you and delete your shame.

>>7432641
You think we can't smell the google shit you drug in from here? Wow kid you're so fucking cool using reverse imagesearch then project your insecurities onto the rest of us with a smug shit attitude. You need to get the fuck off my thread now punk I've had it with you.

>>7431978
Is this for VHS, Betamax, or compact cassette?

>>7432878
Apparently it's for larping zoomers who thought it held Atari carts.

>>7431978
A GBA cart rack.

I have a cabinet, bought, and purpose-built for storing audio cassettes, you peasant. And it's constructed out of real wood - unlike that piece of shit. Dunno why you're even posting that anyway; I kept my game cassettes in a wooden file cabinet, and everyone else I knew kept them on shelves. That faux wood abomination is just tacky as shit.

>>7433559
>That faux wood abomination is just tacky as shit.
To be fair, it's his parent's taste not his. He just thinks it's cool because lel eighties.

>>7431990
Niggers will empty the entire cupboard onto their chicken and think they can cook

>>7433559
fuck you. wood paneling is the definition of soul & comfy

>>7433569
No he stopped thinking it was cool when he found out it wasn't for Atari carts.

>>7432191
>black people
>season their food

yeah, sub-saharan africa is renowned for its indigenous recipes

>>7433590
Not really. I'd say the Atari VCS pulls it off, but furniture, or any kind of storage? Nah. It just makes you look poor.

>>7433694
Which is an odd take, because when I was a kid it was considered fashionable decor. I'd imagine it was the reason why the 2600 was woodgrain, as it was trying to match what most people already had in their living room.

>>7431978
It's obviously for storing dilators.

>>7433705
You just have to look at pictures of the apartments of loaded stock brokers from the eighties to know that there was nothing fashionable about wooden furnishing. Metal shelving, glass tables; not much in the way of wood in those ludicrously highly priced abodes.

>>7433780
>giving a single fuck about fashion or interior design
found the mac using homosexual

>>7433790
I said the 80's. And stop projecting, Tarquin.

>>7433797
fashion only matters to gays and women, same with interior design

>>7433790
Oh, and this thread is basically about aesthetics - and YOU'RE in it, What, slipped fell, and landed in this thread, Mac using homosexual..?

>>7433804
Look below your response, pansy. Now cope.

>>7433810
no it isnt, it was about a retarded kid who didnt know what an audio tape is, fashion and interior design is nothing more than company driven peer pressure using fags and women as its marketing tool as they are mentally vancant

>>7433814
>no it isnt, it was about a retarded kid who didnt know what an audio tape is
The thread isn't about you dude.

>>7433840
yes, it isnt, its about the OP being a zoomer, its also not about cum eaters deciding what fashion is, fuck niggers too and their brand driven ebonics and ugly sneakers "muh drip"

>>7433845
Wow so you're a dumbass AND a racist. Guess it goes hand in hand...

>>7432605
THIS IS NANCY.

>>7433856
you have to be a dumbass not to be racist, you have to deny genetics

From the makers of chocolate is better than sex, your games are giving the pc viruses and other lame memes for retards.

Is this the kiddo OP back with some new schizo larp about book scanners trying to "reverse troll" the people who pointed out that the Atari cart holder that he totally owned back in the 80's (because he's just that old and totally not a little kid playing pretend) was, in fact, a cassette tape organizer? I really hope so, because I'm endlessly amused by embarrassed children desperately trying to hide their damage control as trolling.

>>7431978
literally we just used either shoeboxes or generic bookshelves, this shit is tryhard and cringe and I have literally never met a single person who owned something like this outside of cases for Gameboy games.

>>7434348
no he didn't come back, instead this thread turned into interior decorators vs an engineer, the best damage control was earlier today, I want more too

legit advice here: these cassette drawers are fantastic for Famicom or case-less Genesis games

>>7434354
even better for c64 and speccy, they are already the perfect size as they are tapes
