I remember trying that over and over, then reverting back to the more reliable link cables.

Omfg, I knew it!!

We just didn’t know any different! Compared to the precision of FPS games that we’re used to now, it would probably feel like painful slow-motion to watch our old Goldeneye matches…

Your back probably has a few good years left in it, lol

Oh damn, arthritis meds by your (guessing) early 20s is rough. Sorry to hear that.

You don’t name your internal organs?

Right? The younger brother probably can’'t even see the screen from his angle.

Every game… It helps that they often make them some sort of zombie dogs, but not always. =(

Now I’m holding Z. Can you hear the difference?

The_Picard_Maneuver, 23 dni temu

Yeah, you could hold the Z button at startup and it would make squeaking sounds instead of the normal thing.

I only recently learned about this one!

I don’t remember anyone passing this trick around back in the day. Maybe because most people didn’t have 4 controllers?

There are a couple of men in monogramed red and green hats at my front door. Should I open it?

Using different sizes and shapes for the buttons based on frequency of use (and to help new gamers not have to look down) was a really smart idea.

And to think we laughed at it then.

I didn’t have it myself either (until years later), but a neighbor down the street did. I remember all the kids in the neighborhood playing on that system.

I still get that with anything that I don’t buy from Amazon, also game releases that I’ve been following for a while (currently sitting patiently until the Elden Ring DLC finally drops for my time zone).

God I love the retro gaming community.

A little while after the Gameboy color came out, I was able to get my hands on a rechargeable battery pack, and I remember thinking that was an absolute game changer.

I don’t miss the days of everything running on batteries.

No, it played normal sized CDs. The GameCube used these weird mini discs.

Yep! Here’s the reference for anyone who hasn’t played or doesn’t remember it from Mario 64.
