Nintendo DS sales are crazy popular right now too. They like our tech like we liked our parents' Ataris.

Parents?? That was my first console. How young is everyone here?

Intellivision was where it was at though, right?

Everything except that monstrosity of a controller.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 5 points 4 months ago

Hell nah! We need to normalize controllers with replaceable faceplates that come with each and every game.

Preach!

Only the rich kids had that. The baseball was awesome though.

Space War :).

To be fair, the 2600 is 47 years old, you'd have to be 52 at a minimum to remember it launching and 42 to remember the NES. I just remember loving my Atari 2600 all the way in the 90s.

I'm 42. I always got systems later than other kids. The Atari was in the house ever since I could form memories, and I finally got an NES in 1990, when the SNES and Genesis/Mega drive were on the horizon.

[-] Speculater@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Then the Atari was already very old by the time you started forming memories, so it would have been your parent's generation. It was 4 years old when you were born.

My first console was an Atari 2600 clone in 1994!

Eastern block vibes

Theres a reason retro consoles are a huge hit right now. Even emulation consoles like the Miyoo Mini Plus.
