Lucky bastards

Yeah because as we all know, cartridges were exterminated in the year 2005 and there aren't any around anymore

whas a cartrige? haha

>Kids today will never know the frustration of trying to thread a cable, and it just won't fucking thread, and the hex shape starts to hurt your hand, so you switch hands, and it still wont thread.
I envy them
>>329803084
I remember licking inside the cartridge because blowing never worked, probably the reason i have problems.
Games never fit on carts..did they?
>>329803084
I swear, every credible person says that blowing on a cartridge doesn't work and can potentially make it worse, but it still works every fucking time.
>frustration
I'd call it a minor inconvenience.
Scratched discs were much shittier before blurays became indestructable.

This. This a million times. I've had at least 3 copies of Melee and Path Of Radiance in the Gamecube days.Then again, it probably would've helped if I kept the games in their cases.

Butthurt underaged?
>>329803084
But they'll never enjoy old games like Contra, same like my generation didn't enjoy soccer because we got PCs and NES

how would air damage plastic?
>>329807481
Blowing air meant getting spit on the metal parts and damaging the cartidge. Yes it happens.
>>329803084
>kids blowing
thanks for the boner op
Blowing on the carts was pure placebo though. It was reseating the cart that actually had an effect.
>>329807481
You could potentially corrode the contacts with your spit.
>>329808089
Feels good, amirite? XDDD LOOL
A load failure was a real thing man.
I remember playing a lot of games. Like Fighting Force 64. It didn't work out so well in real life...
>>329803084
>game has 2 discs
>>329808542
I'm not fucking buying it then.
I don't care what I missed out on.
>>329808673
>never played MGS

>>329808203
Not a placebo. I used to take the cartridge out and put it back in and it usually never worked. Blowing worked 99% of the time
>>329803084
>they will never know the frustration of not being able to beat a game
Unlucky bastards.
>>329808898
I played the shit out of Snake-Eater.
The rest is fucking garbage.

Lucky you said?
>>329810231
Their nostalgia threads will consist of Let's Plays, they don't play games.
>>329809628
I was born in 1993 and we used those for quite some years. Probably because I am on a third world country
>>329810625
I'm in the U.S born in the same year and I still used VHS tapes all the time as a kid.
>>329810625
Nope, I live in a rich country and born in 1992. We used these until I was 8 or something.

This. I miss just buying a game, going home, opening it up and popping the sucker in. None of this bullshit updating the console, installing the game, patching shit, etc. Or half the game being on DLC.
I understand the digital age has its merits, but developers abuse the fuck out of it by being lazy cunts about everything.
