/vr/ - Retro Games

His age is less awkward than him acting like a clown just to get in a magazine.

>>7886092
He seems a bit creepy but his tash game is strong

>>7886092
It was the 80s. By 32 you were expected to have a house and 3 kids and a stable career. It's not like today where 32 year olds living with their parents is considered the norm.

>>7886092
He might have been a 12yo pretending to be a grownup. Like literally 99% of 4chan

>>7886136
There really is a Mark Discordia in Waterford, Connecticut (about 20 mins from Lyme) who was a plumber, so that checks out, at least.

>>7886157
Oh, you have no idea: http://www.seanbaby.com/nes/nes/mark.htm

>>7886164
I vaguely remember the seanbaby thing from years back, but beyond that and the letter, there does seem to at least be a crumb of evidence that the guy wasn't just some entirely fictionalized identity.

>>7886092
Back in the day... I would not say there were many adults hanging out in the arcades. Some people in their early 20s. Mostly teenagers though.
It's definitely more common for adults to play games now.

>>7886164
Cringe

Didn't this guy name his daughter after the main character in Zelda or something?

>>7886092
70s, early 80s, more adults/families played games but it became children's thing in the later 80s

>>7886092
As an older millennial (just three or four years shy of Gen X), let me clue you in on a little something about adults in the 1980s: they played video games. A lot played computer games, many had owned an an Atari 2600 and later a Nintendo (Jerry owns an NES in "Seinfeld", and that show began in the late 80s), and when the Game Boy launched it was heavily marketed at business people who had to travel a lot (one airline even had a deal with Nintendo in the early 90s to provide Game Boys with Tetris or Super Land to everyone in first class). 32 was not at all considered too old to be playing NES games, and the idea that Gen X and "boomers" never bothered with games back then is a zoomer myth.

>>7886182
No, you're thinking of John Ritter and his daughter Metroid Ritter, named after the main character in Mega Man.

I watched a video clip from the 1980s of Kathy Lee Gifford laughing at the trend of men in their 30s playing video games like children, and the guests laughing like it's totally absurd

>>7886285
>Jerry owns an NES in "Seinfeld", and that show began in the late 80s
Funny you mention it, just saw that episode the other day and SimCity stuck out to me. Turns out it's the Super Nintendo version, so if we're simply going by what's on this shelf (which is undoubtedly just set dressing that likely doesn't mean much) then he also had a Super Nintendo. Of course we never see him playing anything, or ever see the consoles at all, but going by what's on his shelf, his character would have them.
Also yes, adults have always played vidya

>>7886301
You get the same thing these days about professional gamers and tournaments

>>7886301
>I watched a video clip from the 1980s of Kathy Lee Gifford
Good to know she was a bitch even back then. Regis deserved a better co-host.

>>7886317
no he didn't, Regis is a turd

>>7886092
>Was 32 really considered old to be playing NES games back in the day?
It's too old to be playing NES games today.
But back in the 80s, if you were in your 30s and playing vidya, you were probably a child molester.

>>7886302
Pretty sure George and/or Newman had SNESes as well. Or did George have the Virtual Boy?

>>7886443
George almost had a Frogger machine
at least he had the high score

Tron came out in 1982. Jeff Bridges was 32-33. How old were Flynn, Alan and Lora? They weren't kids or teens or college aged, they were pushing 30 if not over the hill

>>7886092
NOA's marketing was mainly aimed at kids although of course there were plenty of boomer games on the NES as well like Wheel of Fortune and Jack Nicklaus Golf.

>>7886092
Game developers used to actually play video games back in those days, and they were adults.

>>7886292
No,he was talking about schwarzenneger naming his toaster Rambo, after the main character in robotcop.

>>7886164
What's his deal with that guy? He seems to be infuriated with him for sending a fun letter into a game magazine.

>>7886991
Pure 90's edgelord, don't mind him, basically the ancestor of 4chan trolls

>>7886991
>What's his deal with that guy?
You had to be 16 in the mid-2000s to get what the deal with him was.

>>7886991
Its just edgy comedy writing of the late 90s/early 00s.
You'd see it for what it was if you we're not so profoundly autistic. Autists often take many things literally when they're meant to be figuratively/hyperbole/metaphorically. I'll help you though, you can take this post as literal, but most things you see on the internet are written in hyperbole.

>>7886285
>the idea that Gen X and "boomers" never bothered with games back then is a zoomer myth.
I'm your age and while Gen X played Nintendo, most boomers definitely didn't. These are the same people who have to call tech support to plug in a printer. The youngest of the boomers, born in the early 60s, are a different case but the late 1940s and 1950s babies largely didn't do much gaming.

>>7887036
>but the late 1940s and 1950s babies largely didn't do much gaming

They did, but mostly just Jack Nicklaus Golf and MS Flight Simulator.

>>7886285
This is 100% true, BUT, the difference is that gaming was a casual thing, maybe play some SMB1 for an hour or two a week type deal. Not a 6 hour session every night like how many people define "gaming" today.
My old man use to game a bunch on our C64, and got really good even, but it was a 4th or so down the chain of his hobbies, and might go weeks without ever powering the thing on.

>>7887036
>late 1940s and 1950s babies largely didn't do much gaming.
They did. But they stopped playing video games around the fourth console generation.

>>7887046
They did, but it was mostly things like pinball and shooting galleries, maybe some stuff like Pacman. People born particularly in the 40s played a lot of electro-mechanical + discreet logic games.

>>7887056
Fair. I bet a lot of them moved from Atari to Commodore 64 and then just stayed in the PC world.

>>7886092
That guy looks like he would be the king of /vr/: "lol enough with the zoom zoom coomers you didnt play the crt real screen experience just emulate fag souless gaming cope harder tranny".

I mean... That kind of people, please, don't be it.

>>7887062
Yup. Thats exactly how it went with my boomer dad and all his friends, and most my friend's dads. They were all in to computer gaming of some sort, be it the C64 or IBM compatibles.

>>7887046
same in Japan but with lots and lots of Mahjong games instead

>>7887051
Ironically, that's where I find myself now. I spend more of my time on the internet and doing other things, and maybe I'll make time to a play a game for a couple of hours every couple of weeks. I spend far more time talking about games online than I do playing them, which is sad.

>>7887062
In my experience, back at that time boomers tended to have a computer like an Apple II or TRS-80 which was more like an appliance machine you used to type letters or do your taxes on while neckbeards had an Atari or Commodore.

>>7887083
I did that for a while but recently I stopped going to /vr/ and other places except to kill time when I'm clocked in to work. I've picked back up sumps in particular lately and have even gotten a few 1CCs. Its more fun to play them then to get in the cycle of talking about something you don't effectively do anymore.
And as I'm sure you can assume, I'm on the clock right now. Only ever post here when you literally can't play a game.

Adults have always played videogames, and other adults have always made fun of them for it. Humanity isn’t a hivemind.

>>7886951
You're clearly thinking of Michael J. Fox naming his daughter DeLorean, after Murphy's partner in MechaPoliceman. Watch the movie if you don't believe me. You can buy it for a dollar.

>>7887036
>The youngest of the boomers, born in the early 60s, are a different case but
that's because they're actually early Gen Xers unless you believe that old meme that the boomer generation goes into the 60s

>>7887169
Date ranges are always dodgy at the edges but its generally 1946-1964. So right up to around the Kennedy assassination.

>>7887090
Funny but I've never seen anyone actually own an Apple II despite every single school having a thousand of them.

>>7887219
I think it was more common on the West Coast in Apple's backyard.

>>7887221
I bet there's an economic component too. I'm not from a poor area by any stretch but it took a long time for my school to update its tech. Even during the early 90s we knew Apple IIs were ancient. Our librarian would get excited just by a Mac with CompuServe. It was also annoying because despite having access to computers our boomer teachers didn't want us using them for anything important. They insisted on homework being handwritten and making you copy the full sentences out of the textbook.

>>7886092
>>7886285
my cousins got an NES and legend of zelda as kids and their mom (I think she was born around '58, she is my mom's younger sister) took their NES out of their room so she could play zelda in the living room. apparently she was borderline addicted to it lmao. she used to joke about that a lot and now she has alzheimers

>>7887321
>someone in their early 60s has Alzheimer's
What the fuck man. Did she use drugs over the years or was exposed to asbestos?

>>7887325
Early-onset Alzheimer's is a thing. Maybe she has that. Also, if she was born in 1958, that means she's in her 60s now anyway.

>>7887331
>Also, if she was born in 1958, that means she's in her 60s now anyway.
I'm now realizing that this part is redundant. I need sleep.

>>7887343
I'm not in the same time zone as you, and I haven't been getting enough sleep lately.

Games back then were like cartoons in the 30’s and 40’s, they were made for a general audience rather than any specific demographic.

>>7887118
>And as I'm sure you can assume, I'm on the clock right now. Only ever post here when you literally can't play a game.
I could get away with playing with games where I work (I'm a security guard) and yet I still choose to spend time here instead. I really wish I could quit this site, but you know what they say about leaving 4chan.

The 70s were a scary time

>>7886092
The correct answer here is that some adults did play video games in the 80s but they didn't advertise it much. My dad (a boomer) played the Atari 2600 and C64 games (sometimes with friends) and he was hardly a nerd. The NES was too much for him though. Since, he has never stopped playing card games or golf games on his PC to keep his brain active over the years. I swear he has broken the record with Solitaire and other card games. He was a professional jeweler and salesman most of his life and served in Vietnam.

>>7891214

I don't understand why 70s decor was full of pea soup greens and burnt oranges. It was pretty ugly.

>>7891957
And brown. And lots of wood paneling. People of the 60s and 70s had great taste.

>>7891986

Holy shit. That looks so much like our old house in the 80s I was initially shocked and wondering how you got a picture of me and my family.

>>7891957
>It was pretty ugly
Whatever is in fashion always ends up ugly. Why do you think people cringe when they see pics of themselves from 20 years ago? Do you think these zoomers walking around like they're hot shit aren't going to look back and cringe at themselves for wearing a fucking poodle perm on their head?
Fashion is the only thing so ugly that it needs to change every 6 months. Sure would be a surprise if one particular group were dominant in the fashion industry right? You might even call it a pure coincidence.

>>7886993
>ancestor of 4chan trolls

LMAO no, seanbaby is an edgelord fag whose only appeal was to post-grad gen x'ers still mad at their parents.

My dad was a boomer and he loved the NES and arcades. He would often kick me off the PS1/2 so he could play his games.

>>7886164
I'm really tempted to look at Seanbaby's twitter account now, 50/50 chance he's ranting about muh chuds and muh incels these days. How time flies.
>>7886092
Boomers in that era were mostly preoccupied with that one Atari 800 WWII strategy game than bing bing wahoos, but I can see some playing consoles for the arcade ports.

You would be correct. The king of early 00s internet shitlordism is now a whiny faggot still assmad about Gamergate.

My dad has been a gamer for decades and the first game he played was Super Mario Bros. on the NES, which came out the year he turned 33...

>>7886092
No. My parents, and other adults I knew, would play Nintendo from time to time. Usually, you'd ask your dad to beat a tough part of a game. My dad got good enough at the TMNT water level that he never got hit. And then he'd pass the controller to us kids and we'd die immediately.

My dad played Prince of Persia on the Master System. Only that. He bought the console for him and only to play that game. After about two years, he got tired and gave the system to me. It was the end of his gamer career, he didn't even play solitaire on PC.

>>7886092
What I remember

kids had a nes or sms
Teenagers had an Amiga or just played arcade
Adults played atari but stopped in 84 or so which is why tv shows even into 90's would play atari sounds to represent a game.
Some adults played on pc.

>>7886301
https://youtu.be/6jdBJYR8SJk?t=74
This is video about game violence where the concerned parents look to be barely 25 - 30.
30 years old in the 80's you were supposed to be finished having kids by then and getting ready to upgrade to a new house. These days most console launches have 30 - 40 or so year olds lining up.

>>7887051
My parents used to play games sometimes as in they would pick a game to play for about 2 weeks or so and then not play another game for 5 years. Now 25 years later they play a decent amount of mobile games.

Most adults just didn't get gaming, I knew a couple and they worked in a computer shop.
They would never buy a console or computer just to play games but if they had a computer they would probably buy some games. As kids we had more free time so we have memories or reaching the endings of some of these games while adults would never get that far.

>>7893415
It's like how the guy from x-entertainment acts now too. This timeline has been awful

Up until the late 2000s video games were exclusively seen as a children's toy. By 1980s standards this guy looked like a fucking maniac pedophile for doing this shit.

>>7886092

>>7894812
That's the 90s, when gaming became more mainstream compared to the Atari-NES years

>>7886092
>Was 32 really considered old to be playing NES games back in the day.
No. Video games back then were seen as a novelty or party fare. Like a board game you'd break out when guests were over. Only once did the novelty wear off did people start calling it a toy, but toy also wasn't as derogative or directed towards kids as it is now then it was back then. Guys who had hobbies in model trains, Christmas villages, miniatures, baseball cards, those were also seen as "toys" and a toy could really be considered anything that was a waste of time or purely for enjoyment. Back then, it was common for most people to have a hobby that would seem like work today. Woodworking, electrical repair, cooking, sewing, gardening. My dad had all of those as hobbies. He wanted to do stuff that "made things look nice."

>>7895005
You would be a Seanbaby fan, wouldn't you.

>>7895072
Nintendo went out of their way to market themselves as a family company. Most of the butthurt over video game violence back then came from Sega games.

>>7886285
True, but there was a stigma about it, the intensity of which depended on your social class/regional culture etc. Adults DID play video games but it wasn't considered socially acceptable to be obsessed with them etc

>>7894824
You forgot
>based Medchad
>Encourages kids to say no to (((drugs)))

>>7886092
It's a little old to be sending scores in to a magazine. But many adults played NES on a casual level.
If anything there was a little gap where you wouldn't see as many 30 years as 40 year olds playing because 30 year olds were "too busy" while some of the older guys were more laid back.

>>7886285
Correct post.

>>7894883

This is unbelievably fucking delusional. Gaming declined SEVERELY in terms of mainstream presence in the 90s compared to the 80s.

>homer marge bart lisa maggie hugo

It's not about spending your free time playing games, our generation refuses to leave childhood and grow up.

>>7895212
Exactly my point. Video games were somewhat of a social thing. Despite a lot of games being singleplayer, people would compete for high scores and the difficulty encouraged giving someone else a go when you died. But like anything, it was considered odd to spend too much time with it or be obsessed. Because video games were more like group thing, it was odd to isolate yourself with it.

>>7886092
It Depends.

my uncle Tony just passed away. when I was little kid he had a dedicated NES room with leather recliners, a 32" tv, and a wall of NES carts. he had more games than the video stores. he wasnt a nerd. he was a road construction foreman for the city. I was always a little scared of him because he reminded me of Dirty Harry. when we visited I wasnt brave enough to ask myself if I could go into Tony's room and play nintendo so I whispered to my mom to ask. I remember I wasnt allowed to switch games myself I had to ask him or my aunt to do it.

>>7895568
My uncle gave me his NES collection as a kid. He was my favorite uncle and was always happy to see him but he had a drug problem and passed away. Thanks for those nes games cool uncle sorry you had a hard life.

>>7895241
Remember jokes about nobody knowing how to program the clock on a VCR? The same went for the date function on cameras.

>>7895568
That sounds pretty cool, tell me more about Tony and his NES room. Did you feel compelled to stick with a bad game because it was intimidating to ask them to change it? What was his taste like, did you have a favorite? I want to hear more about Tony's NES room.

I want Seanbaby's correspondence with him to be real more than I've wanted anything to be real, but it probably ain't.

Was there any pop music in the 80s, especially pre-NES, that heavily referenced gaming? It really kicked off in the 90s, and by the 2000s it wasn't anything special to hear a pop song namedrop Mario or Playstation. I can't imagine a hair metal rocker singing about Pac-Man or Custer's Revenge instead of girls and coke

>>7886092

>>7896115
Woah so old. What retro games can he still even play? Monopoly?

I remember one of my friends saying he caught his dad playing Dr Mario in the middle of the night. His dad had always talked about how dumb videogames were which is why it was surprising. He was sent back to bed and was told not to mention it to his mom. Happened more than once.

That stuck with me as funny. Some kid’s dad totally addicted to Dr Mario but so ashamed of not looking adult that he resorts to sneaking out of bed in the middle of the night to play it. Repeatedly.

The method of getting Video Games back on shelves after Atari were to market them as a toy for boys (Rob the robot.) In the 90s the marketers thought those little boys would be horny teenagers and adjusted their marketing, but the public perception was that it was a kid's thing. It wasn't the same thing in Japan but it was still a misunderstood place that was making cheap electronics.

>>7886092
It would have been seen as a pretty childish hobby, but if you're working and taking care of yourself and your family you typically shouldn't care what some jack-offs think about your hobbies. Growing up in the 90's my dad used to collect comics meant for kids and sometimes teenagers. But he also worked 50+ hours a week, took care of his family, and volunteered at charities so beyond some jokes no one cared.

>>7886097
>He seems a bit creepy but his tash game is strong

I still like Matt but he definitely retweets that cucky shit from time to time. I'll give him credit for not going full faggy though but man how can you write about 80s
shit for over 20 years. It gets old.

I am recently on 40s but hide this fact from other adults. I just like to play games. No, I don't live in a basement, own my home, married and fit for a old fuck.

>>7901152
Japan was terrified of arcades ties with yakuza and no life neets which is why Nintendos were marketed as family computers.

>>7886092
In a conversation that came up with my old boss five years ago (Some other coworkers were talking about how their kids were playing video games), he mentioned he'd be embarrassed if his sons were still playing video games past their teenage years. The sentiment still exists with a lot of older people.

Ultimately, it will go away in a couple of decades or so as people who didn't grow up with video games start to die out--to most of them, it seems like a bizarre, childish hobby that doesn't equate to something like watching TV, let alone an adult competitive game like various sports or chess or what have you.

>>7903513
I'd rather him write about literally anything else but Biden worship and BLM shit. It's only because he had skeletons in his closet and he knows he's a screenshot away from getting canceled.

Go back and read his old XE stuff. There's a reason he hasn't archived the site.

I don't remember getting stuck playing bad games and not wanting to ask (I'd probably just hound my mom if that were the case)

I do remember he had all the good shit. That's where I first played Batman.

There wasn't a "nerds are cool" era in the 80s, at least not in North America. Comedies like Revenge of the Nerds, where the nerds were made out to be the protagonists, wouldn't have been made if there wasn't an actual widespread stigma against nerds in the US at the time. The simple fact is, plenty of people in the 80s didn't think of arcade games and console games as particularly nerdy (computer games were another story).

Poor Seanbaby. Talented, funny writer and site designer who got Internet famous about 5 years too soon. RIP.

Can vouch. Nerds were never cool or treated as such.

Is Dinosaur Dracula/Matt like this publicly? I know he had a few things to say when George Floyd/BLM kicked off last year, but I've never seen him drag politics of any kind into his work.

XE is offline and he found some way to keep internet archive from archiving the site. However there's a lesser known online archive with a handful of his articles and there's disparaging comments about trannies and other normal stuff that would be considered offensive now.

He's never came out and said anything but he retweets positive stuff about the old faggot often and what's left of his dwindling fan base give him asspats for it.

He's also a "DUDE WEED" guy now too. So disappointing.

I've noticed a lot of these Gen-X/older Millenial internet 1.0 guys really sliding into the gross niche of sharing their sadsack neurosis and mental illness with their followers in the hope of getting coddled. Like, professional online moping. He's very much one of those.

So if he is still alive, he be nearly 70 years old.

He looks like Robin Williams who also played vidya well into his 30s. Its escapism and there may be a correlation with vidya and mental illness.

>>7886092
Holy shit I remember this issue. Goddamn I feel old as fuck now, thanks

>>7907835

>>7886092
Stigma being the favorite old fart boomer sport being the problem, people love to judge people poorly and be cuntbags about it.

Accurate. I agree completely that's exactly where that girl lands on the scale.
