I never even knew about the SNES til recently. Never had any friends who had one. I was the only kid on the block who has an N64, and the only reason was for pokemon snap.

Hel, Smash bros is how i learned of other nintendo IPs, I didn't even know mario or link, just that pikachu was on the cover.

There's some PS2 DVR in Japan called PSX officially but it was never anything. Back in the day the Playstation was widely abbreviated PSX. It's one of the arguments that pops up between those of us who remember and those of us who only know what Wikipedia says on the subject.

Yes and no. Until the PSone was released, the tiny console. PSX was one of the terms used for the first playstation. It also refers to a Playstation X, something which pretty much no one ever had or ever referred to ever talked about until new kids started bitching about what old people referenced the original playstation as because they wiki'd it. It's a DVR/PS2 that was only released in Japan and was fairly rare, it was released in 2003, roughly ten years after PSX was used for play-station in 1994.. The other alternative was just PS. Because the PS1 wasn't called a PS1 until the PS2 anyway because there was never a need to call add one. The mini was made after the PS2 was released which is why it was called a PSOne.

Exactly. It's so easy on /vr/ to pick up on the people who actually played retro games back in the day, and the underage pretenders.

Now it's all fine for underage people to enjoy retro games but what really gives people the shits is when they give their shitty uninformed opinion about one of many flame subjects (like SNES vs Genesis/Mega Drive or OoT is overrated) despite the fact they don't know shit or are not in a position to comment

I'm 30 years old and back in the day the Playstation was called a fucking Playstation. That's what it said on the box, on the console, on the games.
Call it what ever you want but invalidating someone's opinion by what name they call a system is retarded.

They shouldn't be the one to start arguments. Even when they think AVGN is a better authority on a subject than Anon they should still listen to people who obviously are more experienced than they are.

But when they just insist they know how things were back then after a quick Google search.

Here's one that annoys me, when we're discussing a particular game and I say I played it in 1986 for example because I know it was when I was in fourth grade and I assume it came out in the fall or at Christmas like most games did and some twerp looks it up and is like "uh - that game came out in 1987 you're full of shit" oooooo that irritates me.

It's not used as a term often in Gamepro, I don't EGM references it that often. But to counter the fact that it's rarer usage for that, there was the whole fact that PSX Fan and Playstation Magazine pretty much had PSX graffiti'd all over their covers regularly.

There's things you would know better than people who were older like possibly cartoons and shit. But there's shit you'd likely know less about like politics and shit.

You probably at least remember some shit in the 80s.

Tell me you don't remember
Punky Brewster which ended it's run in 88.
How bout the Snorks.
Or Fraggle Rock.
Or Danger Mouse.
Or Underdog
Or Smurfs
Or Airwolf
Or He-Man
Or Thundercats
Or the A-Team

Or Commodores/Atari ST/Apple II's if you had a computer (plenty of kids didn't though)

Do you remember 99 luftballoons? Do you remember how they used to feed us bullshit that the Soviets were the bad guys because of the cold war? Do you remember Winds of Change?

There's probably a lot of stuff you've seen and before the reruns you might remember. Though you might remember things like the Jetsons which was from the 60s even.

But you might not even know of shit today as well. Do you know that the U.S. still has laws and missile defense systems for defending against Russia? No body really cares anymore. That's part of what's happening today and almost no one will remember that fact. How bout the fact that in 2008 former U.S. president Jimmy Carter mentioned that israel had nuclear weapons it shouldn't have, almost no one bats an eye or gives a shit. It'll be fairly forgotten and just trivia people note in recorded history. It's just not a significant part of culture today. You might not even know a significant degree of younger culture. They have some significantly shitty shows, also some really good ones.

Because teens always think the decade before they were born in is better than the one they live in now so they try to be nostalgic for the 90s despite being born in like 98 or 99. I would say the latest you can be born to experience anything form the 90s is 94 and that's really fucking pushing it.

It's strange how people are seen as being so weak willed. If I had a kid, I wouldn't think he was THAT pathetic. He's young, not retarded. But in this case, "doing the devil's work" could mean something as simple as masturbation, I suppose. To me and most others it probably means creating explosives or something.

Is it bad that I immediately thought, "sharpie in pooper"?

I think I might have to give some level of basic instruction. Nothing too much. Don't post name/address, don't mix chemicals or household things, don't download .exes and .bats, etc. But other than the basic stuff, it would be challenging to get much through on anything that causes any realistic level of harm at all.

I used to play a ton of SNES games when I used to see my cousins because I only had Super Mario World and Super Mario Allstars. When the GBA came out, I snabbed a bunch of ports of my cousins' games, including ALTTP and Yoshi's Island. Great games. Kirby's Nightmare in Dreamland on the GBA (the NES remake) was really great, and I regret selling it because there's no other remake I'm aware of. Then when I became and adult, I sold my GBA and bought all the original versions of those games on the SNES. They're sitting on my shelf in bags because I have no TV stand to put them on, and I'm too lazy to plug them in every time I want to play a game. I don't even have a switch box. I need like 3 of them.

Also, I just got out of college, and my mom is fucking crazy OCD and won't let me hook them up to the living room TV without removing them the day after.

I used a ton of emulators in middle school which exposed me to a lot of great games that I wouldn't have otherwise played. Hell, I never even finished Chrono Trigger, and I bought a cart to get the authentic experience, but I can't be assed to play it because my room is tiny, and my parents are tightwads.

God dammit Macy's. You already hired me. It's been over a week, just give me my goddamn schedule. "Hurr it takes 5 business days to do a background check". Fucking seriously?

I really need a tv stand so I can hook up my Genesis, SNES, SMS, N64, and fat PS2.

I also have a hard-on for anime I missed growing up, but that's a different story.

/vr/ is genuinely a nice board, and I enjoy your company. Thanks for being pals.

I'm this guy. For reference, I was born in 1992. I don't consider myself a 90's kid at all. I hate all that shit. The only things I get nostalgic about are the innocence of childhood, some games, and some 80's/90's anime that my middle school / high school friends introduced me to. Ranma 1/2 and Tenchi Muyo are probably the best examples.

You do realize most people don't even buy the new consoles until like half way through their lifespan? Hell my video store had Sega Genesis and SNES games to rent until like 2002. What's up with people thinking the previous consoles suddenly vanish as soon as the new ones come out?

Learn to dumpster dive. You have a car, right? Drive around the day before garbage day and look for nice things on curbs. You can find all sorts of furniture this way! If worried about picking up bugs, leave it on the porch for a night or two to let any critters escape. This is pretty safe as long as it's nothing upholstered.

Almost everything in my living room was found this way. The few things that weren't found on curbs were given to me by people moving. People who are moving out are GREAT sources of free stuff! Check Craigslist's free section if you don't know many people.

Also, get creative. My CRT TV (got it got $20 when a bar was closing) is sitting on top of a roll-front end table that used to hold dishes (got it for free- old lady was downsizing). Most my systems are on top of a faux-wood conputer desk (curb find). My multi-chanel clickers came from Radio Shack and I paid too much, they they're worth it.

Yes, I know how it feels when you're chasing the things you remembered. I'm hoping to find reasonable Outlaw Star, Revolutionary Girl Utena, and more Ranma 1/2. Sadly they're all hard to find without paying an arm and a leg for them,

I'm born 92', I never had a SNES as a kid (though I did have a NES with some games), and my N64 library was very limited.

I played those games on emulators back in the 2000's, and when I saw some SNES games ported for GBA or DS, I was always excited and I wanted them, because of all my warm memories of playing emulated SNES games, I thought they were all so fun and cool looking, 16 bit (and subsequently 32 bit) pixel graphics really appeal to me.

I played A Link To The Past a whole lot on emulator as a kid, but I fucking LOVED the convenience of being able to take it with me anywhere I wanted (on vacations, in the car, in the bathroom), I could play a handy variant of it, with proper buttons and a pad, instead of making do with a keyboard as I did.

I also played Chrono Trigger on emulator as a kid, loved the shit out of it. I have the DS cart somewhere here, I should really try and beat it, because I never did.

Personally, I didn't mind that they were there, they made the game just a little bit more alive, but I kind of wish there was a delay timer on it for when you swing your sword a lot, because it gets annoying to hear WUAHUAHUAHWAHYAHYAHWAHYUAH when you really have to go to town on a motherfucker.

Same here, it's a forced argument from the spergs who have a superiority complex calling it THE PSX.
Regular kids, teens and people just referred to it as a playstation or a sony before the later models were released. Now because of later models, i.e PS2, PS3 and PS4 it's easy to refer to it as the PS1.
I do, people know what the fuck you are talking about, PSX sounds unnecessarily idiosyncratic.

For example, 'Let's play Sega.'
I had a Sega Megadrive but my friends knew what the fuck I was talking about. The same as going over to your friends to play Nintendo, in the 80's you knew what the fuck someone meant when they asked you to play Nintendo, They didn't have to say 'Nintendo Entertainment System'.
There was only one playstation out at the time so you didn't have to explain, saying 'ya wanna come over and play Sony?' was self explanatory.

Who the fuck said "come over and play Sony" ?
Everyone knew what Sony was (because they always were a home electronics giant), but people called it a fucking "Playstation", because that's what it was.

If you say "Sony", that could mean a TV or a stereo.
Or these days, a phone.

You ever "Play" a TV or a stereo?
So you had friends who would ask you to come over and press the play button on their VCR?
>wanna watch TV?
>wanna listen to music?
>wanna play Sony?
As I said, certain things are self explanatory, during the 16 bit era referring to a Nintendo usually meant a SNES, but people usually didn't say sness or super nintendo. You could refer to it as a Super Nintendo but just 'play the nintendo' was commonplace.

Use your brain friend.

Originally Sony was going to release Playstation as "Playstation X" but for some reason the X was dropped before the system was released.
However many gaming magazines at the time kept referring it as PSX all the way up to the time Playstation 2 was released.
Example of this: pic used in >>1237595

My own personal experience about what people call the Playstation is that people who owned the original bigger gray version of Playstation back then called it Playstation IRL and to this day usually refer it as PSX on internets. Also in minds of these people PS1 or PSOne means the smaller white redesigned version of the system which was released after PS2 came out and the people who bought that version of Playstation call it PS1 on internets.

Thing is, he didn't brick his dad's machine. Assuming that's real all you need to do is reinstall or recover the files. Bricking means to unrepairably fuck shit up. The machine still boots, you can still use a windows recovery disk or a livecd and grab your shit and another drive and replace the files. Especially if he just rebooted after that maneuver, which would means the deleted files are still there just removed from the MFT.
All you really need to do is livecd recover the system32 directory onto a USB stick and then copy them back into the folder and it'll pretty much be more or less like nothing happened to them.

Basically just grin and bear it, jump through your new employers hoops because your life is just about to get WAY better. Buy yourself a 13-15" CRT and a 21-26" HDTV and start enjoying your collection and saving money by following that dudes advice about free furniture. Buy some retro vidya when you see it cheap and in a year or less (depending if you need a car or not) you'll have a nest egg that'll REALLY get you started.

I was born in 1993 also. I knew that there were nintendo consoles before the N64, but I thought that NES and SNES were the same thing. I'm pretty sure I didn't know the Saturn existed, but I was vaguely aware that the Genesis was a thing... not quite sure though.

Also, I had no idea SMA was a port, and I'm bretty sure I also was unaware that Super Mario Bros Deluxe was a port as well. I didn't figure all of this out until like high school

I was born in 91 and I was kind of forced to play mid 90s PC games because my parents didn't want to buy me and my brother a new computer as long as the current one was still working and it finally broke down in 2004 or something. Parents didn't want to buy any consoles either. I think that it gave me a pretty good view of mid 90s or earlier games, though I was really jealous towards my friends who could play Deus Ex or Thief or something. I actually don't know the games guys of my age hype so hard because I couldn't play them as a kid.

But it's weird how much a few years can matter, because I knew very well what SNES and NES were and I even remotely remember it when the first Playstation came to my neighborhood and slowly replaced the Nintendo consoles.

You say this like it's a bad thing. In my experience, the original SNES games are far superior. Think of it like you're finally getting to experience the enhanced versions now.

I never knew Nightmare in Dreamland was an NES game until years later as well, but that's one case where I prefer the DS version.

> I remember the entire decade.

So you do remember the USSR dissolution and the independence of a dozen or so countries in 1991? You remember Estonia regaining it's independence?

You remember the west coast big beat raves that blew up and essentially lead to mainstreaming electronic music and leading the way for eurotrance to come to America in the late 90s?

You remember ARPANET being decommissioned? Or Gopher/Archie/Mosiac coming into existence? The start of HTML? Mitnicks five year incarceration?

You remember the twenty four or so missions to spacelab being put up? Hubble being launched?

You remember Nelson Mandela being freed.
South Africa repealing Apartheid? The Oklahoma bombings? Sarin Gas attack in Tokyo?

Introduction of CDROM? Princess Diana dying? Cloning of sheep? The WTC being bombed? Los Angeles Riots? The Waco massacre? Million Man March? Heaven's Gate?

Do you really think you remember the 90's in it's entirety? When pretty much no one really remembers everything about a decade and there is just so much shit it's not funny. There's dozens of shit.

The point was basically, sure you might not remember the 80s on lockdown, but it's essentially impossible to really have any decade on lockdown given the sheer breadth of shit. Everyone remembers bits and pieces and various intersections and news that comes across. Your poor young recollection of the 80s might as well be as useful as your recollection of the 90s as far as knowing all the shit that went down goes. Though your state of mind and understanding of happenings is most likely clearer with age. Though really unless you've dipped your shit in various things, some things are probably still what the fuck.

If I asked you how much you know about Syria and it dropping it off the internet and it's relationship to other middle eastern cultures, to Russia, the factions fighting etc... would even be able to tell me? Would you be able to note the U.S. history in that area?
