So you're a gamer huh? Then post some OG shyt that real gamers would recognize

[PS5 Pro]

So that was you back in the day that fukked up those gaming magazines in the supermarket. shyt looked extra sloppy... the most I would do would be to open the shrink wrap off of the magazine and read through it.

If you had those bootleg special controllers with the built in cheats-i remember the ads for those when MK3.

If you know what game shark is...

I probably already mentioned it previously in this thread but I got a game shark for one game only. Street fighter 2. Game shark allowed you to use the bosses and do air blocks/fireballs.

sega activator. it worked with regular genesis games as well. i never had one but i think i may have tried one out at a department store.

The activator might work well today with VR since it was standard in VR at the arcades

There it is. crazy. Just crazy.

You must have been well off because I know that Sega CD shyt was like 699 or 799 when it came out. The prices of the super nes and genesis back then were just



But that feeling of opening up the box of a new game though. Especially with those genesis boxes. Nintendo with their little rectangular boxes too to fit those gaming cartridges.

I would smell the newness like if it was new car smell.

yeah. they had neo geo ads in all of the major mags. i think due to the cost of the system and games, the target customer was older because the ads tended to be more mature. import companies also bought ad space in the back of the mags so you could buy all the japanese stuff as well.

I just remember games being $199 or more. And they loved touting the fact the game was a whopping 336mb

Got my NES late, but loved it
I think i still have this game. It had all the teams



Let me stop

 

[Luke Cage]

up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A start.

How many games had some variation of this cheat code at the menu screen back in the day?

 

[CarltonJunior]

That thin, weightless, cheap ass plastic with no vibration

I've gotten into retropie and retro emulation consoles and after dealing with them for a little while made me realize that the PS1 really is a piece of shyt in hindsight. I didn't think this before obviously, cuz I had one back in the day, but it's a really shoddy console.

Almost every multiplat game that was on the PS1 and N64 plays better on the N64. And when the dreamcast dropped it shytted on both of them.

Hell even the sega saturn performed better than the PS1

the games that performed better on the saturn were 2d games. the 3d games...no.

yeah, most of the AES games i saw cost between $250 and $300. i wouldnt be surprised if those prices correlate to the amount of megabytes on the cart.

i think the MVS carts used in the aracde cabs were a little cheaper but you dont get those amazing shock boxes that the AES games have. today, a lot of people turn the neo geo mvs arcade hardware into a console and just buy the more affordable MVS cartridges

And driver 2..... horrendous.

Outside of them forcing you to get out of the car and look for switches with Tanner looking like Slenderman, that fukking game was flames. Driv3r should have cemented it's legacy but once again, they decided to pull Tanner out the car and give him the most banal on-foot mechanics I've ever played in a game in recent memory and this game is how old? Bleh.

Driver 2 was trash. I remember that as clear as day 20 years later. That game was trash.

Chicago was horrendous. Think they went to Brazil too. I didnt finish the game. It was that horrible.

Grand theft auto basically showed driver how to do it since driver bit off of them loosely. Driver was finished as a franchise when gta 3 dropped .
