Yeah, not really a hidden gem, and neither are any of the other Activision titles. They're widely considered some of the best games on the console, and Activision probably has the lowest game to shit ratio of any developer for the system.

I was a baby 40 years ago, I think I'm pretty clear about my exact age. The Channel F slipped my mind since I've literally never seen one with my own eyes but I legit never had any idea the Astrocade had an earlier version that was taking orders in 1977. That's interesting! I had an opportunity to pick up an Astrocade from an old dude that had a truly ancient game store I wish I'd taken pictures of but he wanted too much for it and he's probably dead now since this was about 9-10 years ago.

The arcade ports are unique experiences because they don't really play like the arcade games. Not all of them are good of course, but Space Invaders for example, is a pretty different take on the formula and plays great. That and 2600 'Exclusives' like Yars Revenge are pretty rad. Also if you haven't played 4 player Warlords sitting around a huge CRT with paddle controllers, you haven't experienced what makes the 2600 great.

well considering they were the first to ever put an arcade machine in a location and the first to have people go in just to play it, that sounds about right.

Nope. It's my intention to derail whatever thread your idiotic nonsense is in whenever I happen across it. If you can be a middle-aged waste of life trying to gain some following among a bunch of kids in a place where anonymity is the culture, then expect people like me to constantly be on your ass about it.

The reality of the matter is that you're a nobody, and the anonymous culture this site fosters and the average age of its userbase are what attracts you to this place. If everyone had a name, you'd be just another nondescript poster that everyone ignored. If everyone was around your age, all the things you think impress the kiddos about being in your forties would be equally worthless. On some level, you've already figured out that it isn't any different here, even with your incessant tripfagging and appeals to your age. No one is impressed with you. No one has a shred of respect for you here, even the handful of people who communicate civilly with you. They really just wish you'd drop the trip and act like a normal person, they just won't say it as to not derail the thread in question. I have no such reservations.

You have nothing insightful, entertaining, or interesting to say. You never have, and you never will. Why you feel like you're entitled to be some sort of weird "retro elder" is as scary as it is bizarre, especially when it seems like you know exactly jack and shit about the subject despite having lived through most of its history. It becomes absolutely depressing when one considers that you've probably tried it everywhere else, and 4chan is your last refuge.

You have assumed completely and fundamentally wrong things about the very basis of my motivations which necessarily leads to you being wildly, even comically far off target with your attacks based on those assumptions.

Furthermore, I think you are making fundamentally wrong assumptions about not just why some anons choose to tripfag (to become "cult leaders"? seriously? lol) but even on the reason most anons are anons.

I'm sorry that you can't just ignore the small fact that I've chosen to pseudonymously sign my posts on /vr/. I'm sorry that just because it references my age - in what even I took as a negative euphamism when anon originally referred to me with it. I don't act like my age gives me some kind of objective authority on all matters. Sometimes I forget something like Channel F - especially since it was before my time. I might have shared a childhood experience instead like I did in that 99/4a thread but you derailed THAT thread because I simply used the word "we" to refer to my family and yes, I recognize your writing style from thread to thread.

No. I am not "appealing to age", which isn't even a thing. I am sharing my experiences and perspectives and participating in discussion. When I'm actually wrong like itt, I own it but during my adolescence and young adulthood I was all about this shit and I am very confident in my memory and that the things I say about the console video game scene in the 90s and even the late 80s stand up to full scrutiny. So much so that I sign them. Maybe my warming toward the moniker "gramps" was somewhat related to the agedfag wave of 2016- and I'm sure just that alone is enough to burn your biscuits ten more threads' worth at least.

So seriously, just filter me and save those ten threads. You think that these attacks you make on me are wearing away at my ego but in reality you're just missing completely. Sure I do kind of enjoy posting on 4chan including other boards where I'm anon but this pseudonymous identity means very very little to me - mainly just a way to sign my posts. My ego is not invested in it. The fact that you assume it is just tells me that you can't even imagine how happy and satisfied I am with my offline life which makes me feel great and reminds me to appreciate it. I'm sure this is the opposite of the effect you're trying to have.

>>4257573
See, that's the thing. Even if I did decide to actually do some project with this retro video game scene I would certainly create a new different pseudonymous identity as I do with any writing or when I did videos in the '00s. Nobody has ever been a "famous 4chan tripfag" and "former 4chan tripfag" is not on very many e-celebs' resumes. If I'm gaining anything from 4chan, it's just practice of a certain casual post-ironic writing style that's in vogue.

That's just the thing, with someone like vitriol-anon, he hates this image that he has of me so intensely that he already frequently accuses other anons of being me. He's afraid to filter me because he can't stand even knowing I'm posting from normal anons' normal on-topic discussions with me. Just imagine what would happen if he got his wish and I dropped the trip, he would still recognize my writing style and feel the need to derail threads over THAT or over whatever he might invent at the time. Think about if I got busier and didn't post for a few months. Any other anon who might allude to his happy married life or partying in the 90s or having a loving 80s childhood could get torn into at any time for being me. If he's really insane, now that I've mentioned I use other pseudonyms he might decide anybody online anywhere could be me. This is how people lose their minds.

Much like most of your zero-effort posts. Not surprising.

No, just most matters. And you're still usually wrong then, too.

Apparently you don't, as this is the first time I've ever been so disgusted with your attention whoring as to tear into you for it.
>I am very confident in my memory and that the things I say about the console video game scene in the 90s and even the late 80s stand up to full scrutiny.
And yet the vast majority of it doesn't stand up to even cursory scrutiny, as is evidenced by a quick look through the archives.

>>4258202
>You think that these attacks you make on me are wearing away at my ego
No, I don't. The average tripfag has deluded themselves so deeply that their ego is the one thing you can't chip away at. I'm just blowing off steam. Thread after thread of your incessant, hollow, and self-indulgent bullshit has finally gotten to me. I'll admit it.

>My ego is not invested in it.
Yes, it is. 100%. You know it, I know it, anyone who's been on 4chan longer than a week knows it. There is, quite literally, no other reason to take a name for yourself where anonymity is the norm. What makes it worse in your particular case is that your ego is the ONLY thing you have to invest in it, as you never have anything insightful or factual to say. Finally, your pathetic and backhanded attempt to accuse other people of paranoia are as transparent as they are disingenuous. You've convinced yourself that there's at least one person here who's out to get you. I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just saying that I wasn't among them until this thread.

I explained my entire process quite candidly and still you think it's... an act? affectation? I mean you can continue "blowing off steam" at me and I assure you it'll never, ever get to me and I think it's unhealthy for you (and the board). I look at the archives pretty often and I invite you to bring my attention to any time I was factually incorrect without owning up to it in the same thread. If I missed any, I'll gladly apologize for it but I don't think there'd be enough even for a classic anti-trip image macro, probably even including ones I've acknowledged. They're mostly very small "gotcha" kind of microfacts like the one itt. Not things that normal anons would find to prove me stupid or egotistical or whatever it is you think I am that you're trying to prove I'm not.

You claim this is the first time you've derailed a thread yet just earlier in this thread there was another post where anon promised to derail every thread he saw me in. Maybe there really are more anons than I realize with your particular vitriol but the likelihood of two of them tag-teaming, responding singularly back and forth seems a bit unlikely to me. I want for you to get your steam blown off permanently, Anon or better yet for you to turn down the fire on you that's building it up. I doubt it's actually me but maybe it's someone you'd like to go off on this way and maybe you should! Don't suffer destructive relationships.

This. I agree with everything you've said here. In fact, I've said almost the exact same thing multiple times. Any time you call him out on being a douchebag, he defaults to this defensive stance where he says "n-no that's not what I'm doing, you're wrong", and then writes you a fucking essay about how he just "decides to start identifying himself 3 years after being an anon for the longest time", almost verbatim. As if that somehow makes it less gay. The inescapable flaw in his logic is this: if he did want a bunch of virgins on the internet to blow him for his demonstrating his uh, "knowledge", he wouldn't use a trip. Nobody uses a trip for any reason other than to attract attention and, as you said, promote themselves as some kind of elder god who anons can look to for guidance, thereby fellating his ego. He will tell you 1000 times that this isn't why he's doing it, but it is. There isn't much more I can say that you haven't already said, but I just want to make him aware that literally 99% of the people on this board feel the same way you do about him. He comes off as a pretentious faggot with his "insightful commentary" on subjects that he knows nothing about, gets fucking assblasted by being wrong about everything and then starts talking about how it's "everyone else" that's ruining the board and derailing the thread instead of him. He could easily just become anonymous, make the SAME exact contributions and not incite these constant shit wars, but he purposely chooses to continue inciting them by using the trip.

To sum it up, cabbage is a smug cunt with a victim complex that is one of the worst things about this board.

See the thing is that it doesn't matter whether you agree or not. You can be as upset as you want about things you have a limited understanding of but when you day things like "the only reason someone would do this thing is because this" and "99% of anons think this" it would be hard to make your projection any more obvious. In 95% of the threads I post in no one feels the need to baselessly attack me simply for using a trip or some pedantic excuse. Then it's only about half of those 5% of threads in which someone or I guess possibly someones decide they need to absolutely lose their shit about my typically succinct but admittedly glib retorts. It's only when you get yourself/yourselves stirred into a full on furor that I take the time to explain my motivations. I don't really see how that's a victim complex or really even how someone could possibly be arrogant and have a victim complex at the same time but if you have any actual suggestions as to how I could be more pleasant and conductive I'd be happy to hear them (I've been a pretty mean person at times in the past) but if they begin and end with my trip then maybe you should think about the implications of that and what it actually is that your jimmies are getting so rustled by.

Gramps, I want to approach you a different way. See, I don't think you're a bad guy, but I do believe you've deluded yourself into thinking that using a trip isn't a retarded activity. So, I pose this simple question for you: in your own words, tell me how you using a trip adds something to this board, or adds something to your own life, if not solely to suck your own cock. How does your use of a trip enhance the experience of this board for anyone?

I'm genuinely curious as to how you will rationalize this.

If some autist shits in the aisle of the supermarket, does that mean you should drop your pants and plop one down yourself?

If the tripfag's telling the truth, you're wasting your time trying to shame him. If you're right that he's just attention whoring, then you're just giving him the very thing he wants, which will only encourage him. The only sensible move with an attention whore is to ignore him.

>>4259081
Alternately, you can do like this guy and assume the tripfag's telling the truth and engage him about his faggotry on that level, and hope he'll see reason. I've actually seen a tripfag drop his trip that way once. I have never once seen a tripfag say "Oh no, haters!" and drop his trip due to negative attention. And I've been here waaay too long.

What would you like to discuss about it other than the fact that is was a shitty console that kicked off home gaming?
All of the games have better versions on other consoles, and many of its games were shitty arcade ports, and then to top it all of Atari was so incompetent that they killed the very console market they created.

As I've explained twice already in this thread, using a trip is simply how I take responsibility for my posts. The quality of the board had been really sliding for some time and I wanted to take a stand and make the kind of posts I think /vr/ should have. I'm sure you're going to go on to point out how it creates drama but the fact is there was already drama and extreme baseless negativity running rampant well before this year. I am absolutely sure that these are the same anons who attack me in threads like this one and it's my intention to let them get themselves so angry over my consistency that they themselves either leave or get all their "blowing off steam" done at me rather than at the normal anons in basically every single thread, the way it was getting to be last year.

>>4259110
I've been on 4chan a pretty long time myself and I've seen plenty of tripfags who do it constructively. I also only trip on /vr/ except when I forget to turn it off when I post which mortifies me. One of the funniest things is that there are other boards where I'm a recognized anon and they've made very dramatically different assumptions about me so that's proof positive it's not my personality that leads to these ideas.

>>4259174

Yes, those guys contribute something. They make stuff or share stuff or in some other way have a reason why someone would want to be able to pick them out of the crowd. You don't, you're just one more average schmuck posting his hot opinions about stuff.
You don't need a trip to improve the quality of posts on 4chan, you just need to make good posts. I guess if you feel like having a trip helps you do that, then go ahead, but I don't see how it accomplishes anything except making you look like you don't belong.

Bullshit. This board is fine. Comparatively speaking, it's one of the better ones on the entire website. Feel free to attribute that to whatever you choose. Personally, I think it's the marginally older average age that the subject matter attracts - save for insipid and annoying tripfags - but I digress.

Really? You think this board needs posts from some weird old mental case poser who doesn't really understand the subject material and is really just hoping to leverage his age into respect he didn't earn?
>there are other boards where I'm a recognized anon
No, there aren't. Not a one. This is just another lie you've told yourself to justify your ego-posting.
>they've made very dramatically different assumptions about me
Well, then that should tell you something, shouldn't it? Maybe when you communicate with people on the same level as they do to you, they're more inclined to listen to what you have to say, even if it's completely useless? Nah, this couldn't be the case, though. You'd have no reason to trip if it was.
>Please refer me to any of my archived posts where I've been a faggot in any way

That's because he *doesn't* belong, but he can't go anywhere else. If he goes to a more traditional website he's not going to be a unique snowflake anymore, and he knows nothing he says is valuable enough to stand on its own. He needs the uniqueness of a tripcode or he's never going to have a conversation. I guess negative attention is better than none.

Yeah, it occurred to me after the fact that unless I was INCREDIBLY explicit with my terminology you'd be desperately trying to call me on it. Looks like I was right.
>my original post where I had that on my mind instead of Channel F
No, you didn't confuse the Odyssey 1 with the VES. I'm fairly certain you didn't even know the particulars of the O1 cartridges (or hardware) until right around last night, when you were feverishly beating on Google like it owed you money trying to find something to call someone else out on after your 2600 debacle.

I have no idea, really. I suppose it might have been a decent qualifier had the console you named not been preceded by one (arguably two) other ROM-based cartridge systems, though.
>How can you talk about desperately trying to call out facts when that's literally exactly what you do?
You mean like you just did to me? I'm not the one who corrected you about the VCS, although I'm glad someone bothered to. Hopefully it'll get you to actually bother learning something about this hobby you claim to love.

You don't. Not me or anyone else on this board. The fact that you trip is example enough of that. Ironic, considering the very reason you feel the need to have a name in the first place is to garner the respect you think you deserve.

I've been on 4chan for a *while*. I've been around long enough that remember the time m00t forgot to renew the domain and someone hijacked it from him. In all of that time, I've only ever used one tripcode, and it's only on /o/. And that tripcode I only use one one certain day of the week, and I only use it to start one single thread, only one thread per week, and never respond to any posts using that trip. It's kinda a joke, and people seem to like it.

My personal opinion: tripcodes are counter to what 4chan stands for. Anonymous is far more powerful. That one tripcode I use for humor's sake.

Besides, I can usually tell one Anon from another, just by writing style, so I don't even think tripcodes are necessary.

Now, saying that, I also don't see why Anon is attacking Gramps so viciously. If you ask me, it's wholly undeserved. Not everyone is perfect, not even Anonymous, but to just go on and on, berating, and belittling someone merely because they choose to use a trip, that's uncouth.

>on the simple fact that I use a tripcode
Is it such a simple fact? Well, let's assume it is for the moment.

By your own admission, you understand that using a tripcode is not only universally shunned here, but also runs a high risk of derailing a thread by its mere presence. In the same breath, you often talk about a "sharp decline in board quality" and a need for you to "do your part to improve posting standards." Seems like you realize that simply dropping the tripcode (and the assumed air of pompous ass that accompanies it) would be more than your fair share to help board standards. And any quality posts you might make after the fact would be icing on the cake, right?

But you don't. You keep the trip and offer up nothing but flimsy excuses. (Hell, you're not even replying to accusations you can't defend anymore.) So, if you please, kindly feed me some more disingenuous tripe about "taking responsibility" for your posts and "improving board quality."

This is completely irrelevant to the question I'm asking you. It's downright evasive. Since you, by your own admission, seem to understand that no one likes trips AND they attract shitposting, why not just drop the trip and do your part to "take responsibility" for the "sharp decline in post quality" you seem so concerned about? This would have the added benefit of incentivizing you to only post things that can stand on their own without any strings (or names) attached, AND wouldn't further contribute to shitshows much like this one we're in right now.

The vast majority of posters don't even notice whether or not a post has a trip. Again, I posted here daily for years anonymously, the same kind of posts I still make and the only people who ever gave me shit were the ever increasing influx of /v/ types who give everyone shit for no good reason.

>>4259730
Well, I actually think that if we break it down the term "retarded" is less harsh than "mentally disabled" because retarded implies that a person might still catch back up to society while "disability" implies finality. You're actually pretty behind the times with "mental disability" even which has mainly become associated with people milking ssi. Real honest to God sub-60 i.q. brainlets are referred to as "nonstandard" or my personal favorite innocuous general term "atypical". Words change meaning constantly though so no matter what a negatively viewed thing gets called the term will always take on a negative connotation soon enough. I've actually come to be pretty fond of the regular "normal" homosexuals I know, who don't base their identity around it. They're also the ones with the best sense of humor about it.

Yep, you pretty much hit the nail on the head there. This line sums things up perfectly:

I find it incredibly hilarious though, that you actually started out by lending your support to him only to end up, somehow, getting into an argument with him regardless. Cabbage boy really is the human embodiment of rapid cancer growth.

Lmao this is one of my favorite things he's ever said. Just imagine him sitting out on his deck one night, enjoying a cold brew, and just thinking "You know what, tomorrow I turn 40... I'm going to become a tripfag. Yeah... I owe that to myself. That's my little special treat."

You know, it's pretty hard to attack the average 4chan user for being a total loser. I mean we're all on a semi-obscure japanese message board for discussing decaying video games, so chances are, we're all a little autistic in our own way. But something sincerely disturbs me about the thought that a 40 year old man spends, literally, and I do mean literally, every single day of his life, from sun up to sun down, posting contrarian opinions on /vr/ and then spending the majority of his time defending them. If that isn't the peak of mental illness I don't know what is. I sincerely believe he is lying about being married and having a son, but if my some chance he is telling the truth, I feel really bad for his family. Imagine coming home every day to the sight of your 40 year old father wasting away the precious moments of his life desperately defending his online activities to a bunch of strangers. It makes me sick.

You kinda want to assume that he's some sort of has-been. Like, he had something going on in life at one point in time and it fell through, and he just couldn't recover. That being said, you'd also think that if he was so desperate to be somebody that he'd resort to tripping on 4chan, wouldn't his focus of discussion be something other than old video games? Like, what was this guy before he failed at life? Was the entire highlight of his forty years having once played a video game back in the eighties? A quick look at his posts in the archives show that he knows absolutely nothing about retrogaming, so why would he pick that topic of all things to waste his time discussing?

He claims that he discusses a myriad of different things at a myriad of different places but, again, a quick look at the archives shows that to not be the case. Almost the entirety of his day is spent here, talking about absolutely nothing.

Dude I have no idea. From what I gather, he seems to own a metric fuckton of old consoles and the like, but he knows absolutely nothing about any of them. That leads me to believe that somewhere along the line, he got the idea that buying all this shit and waxing faux intellectualism on 4chan would somehow be a good hobby for him.
>Almost the entirety of his day is spent here, talking about absolutely nothing.
It's almost worse than nothing. I mean, it's not like he even just bullshits about random things. He literally invents opinions for people to get mad at and then writes a small book's worth of replies per thread that defends them.

I like how his logic boils down to "I'm not the cancer of the board, you are. Because you're derailing the thread by calling me out when I say something retarded. If you just ignored me, the thread wouldn't get derailed".

Gramps, I have nothing against you personally but please, stop namefagging. Every thread you post in just turns into an argument about you. The threads for stuff we don't have very often like the TI-99/4a or Odyssey 2 just turn into shit flinging fests the second you post in them. You aren't "deflecting shipping", you're creating it and then contributing to it by claiming your "quality" posts discourage it. Tripping is not FOR creating an online persona so you can maybe become a mod/janitor. That's not the point of it and if you were half as self-aware as you claim to be you would know that. Please. I'm begging you. Every single thread about something interesting is ruined as soon as you post with that trip on. Stop for the good of the board.

The real irony is, I feel self confident enough that jokingly talking about being "autistic" doesn't drive me to the point of hysteria like it does for you. You are literally so sensitive to the idea of being called autistic that you are completely blind to comments made in jest, and look for any opportunity to tell everyone how "successful" you are. That's just about the most autistic thing you can do. Lmao what a fucking human embarassment.

In his mind, I'm sure that's a valid logical conclusion. He isn't actually a retrogaming hobbyist, nor does he actually want to have a conversation. He wants to post. He wants the archives to record it all. He wants a permanent record that he can revisit to stroke his ego. He really is still stuck in the traditional forum mindset where he obsesses over things like name, post history, and post count. He still hasn't quite picked up that absolutely none of those things matter here, and no one would really want them to in the first place. But 4chan isn't about discussion, community, or hobbies. It's about him. So, yeah.

>how I take responsibility for my posts
I have never had an issue with you prior to reading this thread, and this line in particular. You cannot possibly defend the line of reasoning that would somehow conflate tripfagging with taking responsibility.
If your desire is to 'responsibly' contribute to a retro gaming community, why not go to Facebook or Reddit or Tumblr etc? There your thought process wouldn't collide with the culture and strength of the format, and it would make sense for you to have a record to keep track of the content you'd posted earlier, and how others respond to it.
Posting here though, we lack the burden of responsibility and managing a persona. It gives the site many weaknesses, flaws, chaos, etc...but there is also the strength of a community approaching an idea with brutal honesty--without the normal hangups of society. As such, your mentioning of 'taking responsibility' stinks to high heaven of bullshit. What possible 'benefit' could there be other than you searching back in the archive for your old posts? Who would use them, other than you, and people wishing to emulate or attack you? How does that strengthen the format, or the community?
If responsibility truly was your motive you would simply drop the trip and post better content. But I suspect it to be false not only for the reasons stated, but because you continue to reply to obvious flame and troll posts directed at you as well as keeping your trip well after actual pictures of you have been posted.
In short, your behavior here is absolutely irresponsible.
