Children look at stuff from the past

[Red Commissar]

They look at toys, electronics, etc. from the past, some we may recognize, and see how they work.

I like 2:35 when the kid tries to scratch the disk like a DJ, but they stop him :crying:

[Political_Chucky]

Yes I used floppy disks too - but those kids are clearly too young to be exposed by them - they were totally replaced by CDs and zip drives by the time they were born or at least can recall.

It is a cute video...being french enhances its cuteness.

My first computer game was on a floppy disk, I guess the computer was a 286 or 386 PC or something. The game was Might and Magic 1.

I'm not sure of the year but it was in the beginning of the 90's.

I remember attempts to play games from tape on the commodore 64 man that sucked.

Still get nostalgic from hearing those old sounds they used in games.

[Il Medico]

I remember having to safe book reports in late elementary/ early middle school on floppy disk cause I didn't have a printer for my computer, which was from 98 and had windows 98. I also had one of the original game boys (with my first game Tetris) and my first game system was the original Nintendo.

Christ I'm old.

I liked that part too. Made me LOL.

Give them a memory stick and most will ask the same questions.

I still have one of those somewhere.
I also have a pong machine that you hooked up to the tv with 2 controllers consisting entirely of a knob you had to twist to make the paddle go up and down.

hey, fuck you, my first games where on an tape deck cassette that you needed to hook up to this computer: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC_Micro
the BBC would actually broadcast in the midle of the night what we now would call analoge modem noise and you could tape it and it would be an computer program, in fucking collor even!.

later we got this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macintosh_128K
that would indeed load floppydisks
fuck yeah!
after that we had basicly every macintosh model that came out.

oh, and i remember the internet when everything was still ascii based and this whas what internet porn looked like:

I remember using win 98, win 2000, win me, win xp. Well i got into computer around 10 years old, but moving to naples, fl made me a computer geek.

My second computer was a 486 PC, the one that came before the Pentium processor. I remember how awesome it was when it came. It's performance was, i think, 8 mhz. But, there was a button that said 'Turbo', and when you pushed it it increased to 25 mhz!

As I of course used it all the time, I sort of didn't (and still don't) understand why it was even there. :lol:

[Red Commissar]

On a side note, I found my old VHF switch I had to use for my Sega Genesis with the old ass TV I used to have.

Anybody ever have a Commodore Amiga (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amiga)? What about having to use DOS (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOS)?

[Bright Banana Beard]

I remember using dos in my elementary school.

[Sentinel]

Anybody ever have a Commodore Amiga (http://www.anonym.to/?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amiga)?I had an Amiga 500.


What about having to use DOS (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOS)?I've forgotten most about it, but yeah I used it on the 486 I had.

Wtf lol, so does that mean the computer could probably of went 25 mhz the whole time?

[Sentinel]

Wtf lol, so does that mean the computer could probably of went 25 mhz the whole time?In practice it did, as I always had the button pushed in. The amount of mhz used could be seen in a very futuristic digital display next to the Turbo button. :laugh:

[Kuppo Shakur]

I used to have a Commodore 64.
I still have nightmares written in BASIC 2.0.:(

[revolution inaction]

i remember acorn computers (http://www.old-computers.com/museum/computer.asp?st=1&c=75) at school, and there where other even older computers the used huge floppy disks that where actually floppy.

I remember getting computer games that ran on DOS, but I was quite young, so I don't really remember much about it.

I still have my old game boy somewhere and I have Tetris for it :lol:
The first computer I had to myself was the family's old one that ran on windows 95.

[Fawkes]

remember long division?

[psgchisolm]

MMMM yes the old windows 95 :)

I remember playing pretty advanced games on dos for my age where you had to type each action for the protagonist "walk to the door" "open the door" "kill the sorcerer." They were still fun to play though. Anyone play the Kings quest series, monkey island, quest for glory, or leisure suit Larry? Now those were the business :)

[John "Eh" MacDonald]

Do you have legend of dragoon?

[psgchisolm]

Do you have legend of dragoon?
no, I do have an impossible to beat yugio game. Once yugi gets his dark magician its gg. Like 5 turns after that obelisk is out.
I swear one time yugi called Obelisk out in 2 turns. I raged so hard. It took me 30 mins to get to him and he beats me in like 20 seconds.

Windows 95 was the shit btw

[Pretty Flaco]

I remember way back when fire was first invented.
Ah, good times.

[Pirate Utopian]

I remember seeing floppydicks lying around. Never used them.

I had one of those 80s gameboys they had in the clip. I only had Tetris though.

Damn it fawkes, you have an eye like an eagle for this shit.

Oh man I could write pages and pages on this stuff. I've always had this huge fascination with getting older and how what each generation experiences changes in terms of technology and more generally just what is in use at the time, and how that sort of puts this material barrier between generations that reinforces cultural and natural barriers.

My first video game experience was on Windows 3.1 when my dad brought a floppy disk home filled with a bunch of classic computer games (Breakout was probably my favorite, or Centipede). Shortly after we graduated to DOS based games. Me and my friend played Treasure Trap, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the original Commando Keen games and a few others I can't remember. My dad was really into Wolf Pack (the submarine game), which I played a lot but was too complicated for me to actually get into at that age. But man was it fun. Back then games had to come with booklets that were part of the game because they couldn't fit everything on the disk. That's how including a separate map a la GTA came about.

We didn't have any video game systems at that time but a friend who I didn't play with that often had an NES and so I got to play that at his house (again TMNT games were huge). I then got an SNES for Christmas and my best friend across the alley (the "we" I've been referring to) got a Sega Genesis and our lives were complete.

His dad was really into tabletop gaming so we played a lot of those as well. We were huge gamers, from board games to video games and just playing games outside whenever we hung out.

His friend Bobby across the street had an Atari too and it was probably the coolest thing ever, aside from the arcade game the girl across the alley's dad had in his basement.

I also remember when CD's weren't even out yet, and taking a whole rack of Cassette tapes on vacation listening to my Walkman in the backseat of our Toyota Corolla. When CD's came out it wasn't that big of a deal to me, I didn't like them as much because the portable CD players were much bigger and heavier than my Walkman and CD's would easily get scratched, whereas cassette tapes could just be thrown about. I never really had a problem with getting them eaten.

I also remember the transfer from VHS to DVD. While I wasn't old enough to actively participate, I do remember how nice it was not having to worry about getting your favorite tape eaten or messing with those stupid dials on the VCR to get the snow on the screen to go away. I have so many tapes at my parents' house from recording Wrestling and Movies and just random shit off television. Hahaha the best part of them is seeing what commercials were like back then.

I still can't even comprehend what it would be like to grow up with cell phones. With all of that calling and texting and wireless internet I don't think I would have been able to do it. I'm glad I grew up before that got big, and before gaming became something you could possibly do full time on the couch. I feel like I'm part of the last generation that wasn't completely plugged in 24/7 and I'm really happy about that.

I also couldn't imagine what it was like growing up without SNES or N64 being defining moments of your life.

EDIT: BTW Chucky Cheeses was way cooler back then as the go to place for your birthday. There was no other place even close to it. When video game console graphics started outpacing arcade games though Chucky Cheese got way shittier. Also, do they still have those tubes? Because those were awesome, except when someone would puke in them.

Haha, I only read it as "floppy disks".
I must be a nerd.

I must be a nerd.

Or I'm still very much a teenager.

I have a working PS1 and I still play some of the games on it from time to time. Medievil stopped working though - the game always freezes when you get to a certain level, which is shame because I fucking loved that game :(

MMMM yes the old windows 95 :)

I think there's a Monkey Island game lying around here in my parents' house :)

Me too. Maybe because I was expecting to read "disk" not "dick" so my eyes just skimmed over it.

lol typo. I must have had floppy dicks on my mind.

[BIG BROTHER]

I like how around 1:40 the girl who thinks the yellow cassette thing is a bomb tries to "detonate it" right away lol

[synthesis]

lol typo. I must have had floppy dicks on my mind.

Are we really supposed to believe that was not on purpose?

Original Game Boys FTW

[Pirate Utopian]

Well it is only one letter off.

[Red Commissar]

Clearly the result of too much purple drank.

[La Comédie Noire]

I noticed dicks the minute I saw it.

I was born in 1989 so I remember a lot of that stuff and Dino Park Tycoon.
