I quit being a gamer [video]
- two_handfuls 3y agoTotally understandable.
- its-summertime 3y agowrt joystick drift being new: Nintendo 64's controllers had horrible joystick degradation. And also had an expansion system as a requirement for some games Actually a bunch of consoles had expansion systems. PlayStation memory cards could get corrupted saves, preventing them from being usable for the most part. Couldn't do any form of formatting or recovery there And, scratched discs! At least modern discs are bulletproof and downloads are downloadable And my save files don't vanish because the tiny battery in a game cart went flat. And and and, etc. - - - And there were definitely games where the players were the victims, all the way back. E.T. being the most famous one, but there are plenty of others that belong in landfill. Along with a lot of accessories too. Research still had to be done back then to have a good time. - - - Also soundcards, VooDoo cards, etc etc. - - - When one remembers the past, its always good to search out memories of negative experiences, and not just the initial story your brain gives you.
