# home computers didn't do much till the 90's
but consoles definately nubbed them by the end of the 80's

still, plenty of fun old games to play via mame

it would be insanely impossible to own all the real old hardware

# I have several old things
that never get used because it's all boxes with wires and shit

easier to emulate them on the pc innit

# they probably make the same noise but at a higher pitch
so that only dogs and robot dogs can hear it

# I don't know why people get so upset about that
We've all got awesome games at home now, and don't need to spend stupid amounts of money just to get to the next level.

# we only recently discovered 2 old blokes that used to hang around
our local arcades in the 80's and 90's were indeed kiddy fiddlers. Lucky for me they were only interested in girls.
