what a fucking mess, clean it up, geez.
Carts all over the place, and I don't see any protective sleeves!
>>3118380
hop in the time machine right now and do that op!
>>3118373
>tfw somewhere out there, in some old house or abandoned building, there's still a table like this, undisturbed since the early 90s.
>>3118383
alright, here I go!!

Dat ain't a filter, Son.

Looks better to me.
>>3118410
which is around ~ 15 years ago, now hop in your time machine and think about what you are typing.
>>3118373
That picture makes me feel. Just like this one does
>>3118481
Why would I got back like 2 years before 9/11?
>>3118489
Your picture made me feel.
I lived out in the fucking boonies and besides my brothers, I never had anyone to play games with until a girl in my brothers grade moved out to where we lived (I was 3 years younger). They had an N64 and I'd get to tag along with my bro, and play N64 with the older kids. I was like 13 at the time, good memory so thanks man.
>>3118373
OP here. this picture was more recent than you think
>>3118595
in that case your house must be musty as fuck.
>>3118489
Here, have a picture of me playing Turtles 2 when I was 6 (31 now.)
>>3118936
spoopy
>>3118936
I take it you liked Final Fantasy.
>>3118982
My older brother did, actually. I wasn't allowed to play it.
>>3118985
Gotta protect that save data.
>>3118936
Why the hell is that poster right up by the ceiling?
>>3118936

This thread is going to make me sad. Where did the time go.
>>3118936
>ah the old domestic abuse atmosphere is strong here..
>be kid
>get NES
>parents give me old busted CRT to play it on
>literally the top 25% of the screen is black
>played games on this for ~6 years
Worst childhood
>>3118936
... Edward?
>>3118936
Did you beat it at that age?
I played that game and it was hard as fuck one player, especially the last guy. He does those kicks that send you flying. Shit was brutal.
I beat it as an adult but barely. I jump kicked the shit out of the last guy.
The first time I tried beating him I died at it. I was like "Are you fucking kidding me? I have to play the entire game again?" I rage quit for awhile, but eventually tried again and beat it.
This one was my favorite of all time. I also loved RBI Baseball, Blades Of Steel, Super Mario Bros 1 & 2 (hated 3), Contra, Rush N Attack, Mike Tyson's PunchOut and many others. It was better then.
>>3118373
more comfy pics like this?
>>3118373
I was 10 when the SNES came out. Still played the NES until like 11yo when I finally got it with SMW. Fuck, there couldn't be a better time to be a kid.

>dat unfinished basement
I can feel the dust collecting in my lungs just looking at it!
>>3120513
It's way too damp to be dusty.
>>3120515
have fun with your contact corrosion/disc rot
>>3120685
It's not THAT damp. Believe me I've taken measures to protect against that, Nancy.
>>3118496
Remember how cheap SNES and NES games were 2 years before 9/11?
>>3120913
Yes. Even then it was hard to find Earthbound for less than 30 bucks.
>>3120923
I found Earthbound in the early 2000's for $50 and I thought I had been retarded and overpaid.
>>3120923
I dunno I got a CiB Earthbound in 1998 fresh out of a case for $20.
>>3118936
Nice. Have a picture of me shitposting in Bravenet chatrooms and looking up N64 codes.
>>3120963
Ah, but that was THREE years before 9/11. Also Earthbound was still mostly unknown because Smash Bros. hadn't come out yet.
>>3118489
>neo /v/ will never know this feel.
Being 12 and playing N64 was basically the most fun I ever had out of video games, especially the 4 player local multiplayer. It was magical and that picture captures it perfectly.
I miss my Gameboy and Pokémon emerald :(
hell me and my sibling STILL play perfect dark whenever we get together and we're almost 30. My brother got the XBA version and when he drives up from New York always brings it.
>>3118936
i've seen this before, love it.
just like i'm sure most of you have seen me playing sonic at age 5 (29 now)
>>3120990
are those flashlights on? why? also, for some reason i feel like that picture was taken in florida
>>3121737
It was a school experiment testing which batteries would longer. Typical elementary school science project nonsense.Yes, it was taken in Florida. How do you know?
>>3121739
It looks exactly like my grandmother's old house. Literally the same wallpaper and carpet and I swear she had those same chairs.spoopy, right?
>>3121757
Lot of cookie cutter houses built in the late 80's/early 90's were like that. Still have the same wallpaper up in that room too. Here is a vidya photo of me in 1992 or 1993 (I'm 26 now). You can't tell due to the resolution, but that's Ninja Gaiden II on the floor.
>>3121762
i want to believe the phone headset is there to prevent accidental reset/power off incidents because that would be adorable
>>3121762
>that's Ninja Gaiden II on the floor.
Something tells me you didn't finish it that particular gaming session.
>>3121762
holy FUCK i had those bedsheets
>>3121790
and now some patchouli smelling dreadlocked bitch is making a man purse out of them.
>>3121785I still haven't finished it.
>>3121790
>>3121783
There's also a Mario coloring book on the bed if you look close enough.
>>3121737
D'awwwwww. Also that TV is fucking massive. I bet everyone was jelly of your awesome battlestation back then.
>>3118373
>"then"
>DVDs
>>3121969
they were, but mostly because my old man worked for one of the national tv networks and had three giant dishes in the front yard.
we got every fucking channel, including broadcast feeds. it was neat watching the sport announcers call off for a commercial break... broadcast feeds had no commercials, so we watched the dudes just sit there shooting the shit.
i wish the photo showed all the components on top of the tv, tons of satellite shit, check out the cable rat nest behind the tv.
apparently this massive zenith had RGB inputs, or so my father recalls.i say this every time i post it, but i love to rag on my wife about how i was playing sonic before she was born (she's six years younger)
>>3122323
Shut up faggot
>>3122401
Y-you too
>>3122242
the picture was taken in 2004
>>3118373
What a disaster. Someone actually bought Terminator 2 for Genesis.
>>3122401
pwnd!
>>3118373
OP here. in case anyone cared, here are the following games:
>in systems

DKC 2

>>3120515
Honestly thats fucking badass.. Looks comfy. These faggots think its so horrible having a set up in the basement. phh.. pussies. It's totally fine with decent air circulation
>>3120509
>5 xboxs
~Those were the good old days~
https://youtu.be/ceVXIs7Ihyw?t=5
>>3120509
People may complain that it's not neat or whatever but to me it looks comfy as fuck.
>>3123141
Neat is for the rest of the house. The mancave is where I can relax in my natural environment.
>>3120509
>>3123141
It looks organized even if it doesn't look clean/finished. And all the outdated electronics along with the exposed HVAC give it a bit of a pre-cyberpunk vibe.
All that basement needs now is a rail-thin chick with a buzzcut, wearing sunglasses and an oversized pair of headphones... then we'll really be in business.
>>3120509
This has no right to look or feel as rad as it does
>>3123169
I'm sure I could get some rail thin chicks to pose down there but I don't know any with buzz cuts. Should I shake some of the bi girls' trees for some hardcore lesbians? Do hardcore lesbians even still shave their heads, maybe on the sides and back at least?
>>3120509
That Xbox shelf doesn't look stable.
>having to hook up the console to Line In in the VCR because the TV only had coaxial
Also i dont have a single childhood/teenage photo digitalized.
>>3123184
Alright. Here's a closer look of the old battlestation.
>>3123197
Thanks, call me weird but I absolutely adore pictures like this.
>>3123184
>>3123197
And one of my older brother at some sleepover or something.
>>3121737
You reminded me of this. Nice setup.
>>3123184
Here's my nephew growing up with /vr/ games in the 21st century. He's 16 now.
The monitor is from 1982.
>>3122401
Leave him alone
>>3122323
I fuckin love Zeniths. Only crt I try to collect. The wood paneling just makes them so cozy.
>>3123358
my parents had a cozy zenith from 1987 until just last fall..
>>3121762
I still have those sheets! Pretty fucking sweet.
>>3121762
>Baby Sinclair
Not the mama!
This picture honestly captures pure bliss. Thank whoever took it, anon.
>>3123371
I remember the two little screws you had to connect the "U" shaped connectors for the Atari. Oh and no remote, times were different.
>>3123502
we had plenty of these in my house
>>3119092
Francis???
>>3123651
JOEY?!?!?!
>>3123984
ROSS?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Sorry about his legs. How did it happen?
>>3124094
kek
>>3123502
>no remote
does the phrase "get up son and change the channel" ring a bell? You WERE the remote
At least I was.
>>3123342
I have six of those monitors stored on a rack in my basement right now. I used them in my retro gaming battlestation c. 2000. School surplus, probably off of IIe Apples
>>3123640
oh that gave me the feels
>tfw twisting pic related
>tfw u never used the 3-colored cable
I remember piggybacking a NES, SNES, and genesis all along an RF line to my mono cable only Tv
Eventually i got a VCR with A/V but it still mixed to mono going into the tv..
>>3124232
>Eventually i got a VCR with A/V but it still mixed to mono going into the tv..
>>3124232
I STILL have that set-up. NES, SNES, N64, and Genesis all in one pretty (ugly) RF line.
>>3124250
n64 was the first time I didnt have a console with RF, you had to buy it separately. That was the same time I got a vcr in my room i think.
Also I remember discovering the Multi AV port was identical for the SNES as well, so I started hotswapping the cord between the N64 and SNES. It was great
THIS KILLING ME!!!
>>3118489
I hate this artist so much, the appeal to feels is so obvious that I just want to punch him in the face and break his hands so he can't ever draw anything again
>>3124423
I'd love to watch you go through the Impressionist section of any given art gallery.
>>3118373
>>times were better then
times still ok for pc master race
>>3123186
It's been bowing since I got it the whole thing should be swapped with some of those Ikea cubes and consoles displayed in it aesthetically (I have quite a console collection) with duplicates stacked on the lengthwise shelves behind but I didn't visualize the layout exactly the way it ended up coming together when I put it there.
>>3124265
>buy n64 without realising this
>have to go to nana's house to play it until i got the rf adapter a couple of days later
>>3118489
Ah the days before the world broke my spirit to live.
>>3126436
You and me both anon.
>>3123207
>1980s
>'AV side input'
Try twin-lead only, anon
>>3126478
I'm referring to into the 90s. I recall a fried who still played supernintento with RF even as late at 1998
>>3123184
>>3126646
Who is that 1980's John Hughes character sitting on the couch?
>>3126663
My gay cousin.
>>3126646
>people atually enjoyed living in rooms with wood panels and dark colors
the 70s/80s were strange times
>>3126691
Wait, people like bright living areas?
>>3126723
I'm reminded of the scene from BTTF where in the 'old' timeline, they had a panels dark living room with plaid furniture, and in the "new" timeline they had white couches with lamps and track lighting
>>3126742
I think that was because old timeline was poor and their house wasnt recently decorated/ remodeled. New timeline they were rich because of George's book so they had a modern looking design.
>>3126691
One time I visited a family friend.
His living room had dark green walls and no overhead lights.
I don't know if anyone can relate to this, but it was only 7pm and it felt like 2 in the morning. The eye strain was so bad.
>>3126771
The house I grew up in, in the family room it was
>Sunken
>Dark Green Carpet
>One Dark Green wallpaper wall
>3 white walls
>Pink couches
>a TV in a wooden frame with legs
It was pretty fucking gaudy by today's standards, but it was fucking aweosme.
>>3126771
One of our rentals we just redid between tenants the former tenants had painted the front bedroom burgundy INCLUDING THE FUCKING CEILING and had thick black curtains hung. WTF.
>>3126778
>>3126742

>>3126691
>people don't enjoy living in rooms with wood panels and dark colors
Are they even remotely familiar with the concept of comfy?
>>3126676
Thomas Dolby is your cousin? And gay?
>>3127104
TD didnt look like that though
>>3127107
He could pass for him at that angle.
>>3126836
>all those horrendous pastel shades
>>3127112
eh, not really man
>>3127329
You're wrong.
>>3127349
That random guy does not look anything like Thomas Dolby. They don't even have the same hair color.
