Gather round kiddies as we circle around the digital campfire as we reminisce the ‘good old days’ of gaming when cassette tapes and 5 1/4 floppy discs were viable media for gaming and 6kb was considered a SHIT TON of memory. Do any of you remember playing games off of your VCR ? Or playing Legend of Zelda off of a floppy discs or even swiping cards into a device to play old Nintendo games? Well we all did and boy does this make me want to embrace my hard drive and welcome digital media with wide-open arms.
Gaming in this generation is amazing but deep down I still miss the day when 30 minutes to load up a 40kb file and blowing into dusty NES carts just to play 10 minutes of some random game I found at the local swap meet or shooting cowboys on a big screen at the Circus Circus arcade. Hell, does anyone even remember Captain Power? Or what about the Laseractive?
Sigh, I’m old.
Well, join Decepticreep, GR Sean, Baldy, Jedah Doma and myself as we discuss magnetic storage devices and 8 bit porn. Yeah, we rock.
