Quoted: I had a pretty big POG collection. I don't know if anyone remembers the Apollo 13 Saturn V POG holder Hardee's gave away back when POG was all the rage, but I had one. Looked like this: https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/128054/1000001884_jpg-2957815.JPG View Quote Holy shit I did have that! |

Quoted: As an elder millennial I approve this thread. I'd prefer the Gen Y moniker, but the world doesn't seem to agree with me on that one. I feel like I had a gen x / gen Y experience. I feel very privileged that I got to live the old school and the new school growing up. The Husky Mudslinger.... man I totally forgot about that bike. Man that was a long time ago. The OG super soakers..... god they fun. We used to fart into the bottles.....lol. Such a prick move. I was on highschool when golden eye was king. Man, Doom was fun too. Remember Dark Forces? What a great PC game. This thread made my day. The only thing missing in this thread is the cool models we used to buy and paint, and maybe a vector or SR71 poster. I was a freshmen in college during 9/11. Who knew then, but that day we left the world as we knew it behind..... some things are definitely better now. Some just aren't. View Quote Gen X was called Gen X because it’s the 10th generation since the founding of the country and X is Roman for 10. Each generation is roughly 20 years. |

And like you said, nobody talks. It's just isolation in public. I remember groups building around machines where a high score was coming up. Hell, idk if they even have fuckin high scores anymore. View Quote I was homing in on a score of 600,000 on Stargate one time (was my game, could play for hours on a single quarter) at the arcade and I turn around and there’s like 40 kids crowding behind me watching. Scared the hell out of me. |

Quoted: Regular Discman was for the poors. Car Discman was legit. Mine never skipped. https://di2ponv0v5otw.cloudfront.net/posts/2022/05/19/6286d9e17468d563e35b98eb/s_6286d9e17468d563e35b98ec.jpg Granted, I never went jogging with it. But walking with it, or listening to it on the bus, it always played perfectly. View Quote I had this one with mounting base in my 1989 Ford Aerostar. Why my parents thought it was a good idea to let a teenage boy drive a minivan, I'll never understand. Well, my dad probably understood. |

Quoted: The Nomad was cool as hell but sucked AAs like Biden sniffs kids' hair. Also, unlike a GameGear, the batteries were in their own attachable device since the system had no space for batteries due to all the hardware to run a portable Genesis. You got maybe, 2.5 hours out of 6 AAs. View Quote I think I still have the SMS > Game Gear cartridge adapter around here somewhere. |

Quoted: Yeah, I missed that sale. Friend of mine had one, and he had the portable turbographix-16 (I still have the console). I still have my Lynx, too. I do have one of the newer handheld Genesis emulator handheld systems, just throw a bunch of ROMs on an SD card and play. Works fairly well, but it's not the same as the original.
