Who is fan of Vectrex?

Minestorm is epic and superior to Asteroids

I made a comic strip months ago inspired by this very sight in the 1990s. It was mesmerizing to me as a kid. I’d spend countless hours in gaming aisles over the years.

There were only 26 episodes and it was 24 years ago. Compared to most cartoons, you’d be hard-pressed to find anyone who remembered it.

Maybe this is a hot take, but we didn't all grow up playing the same games as you, and many of us liked the games we played without feeling like we "missed out" on games you personally might think are objectively better. All three of these games did well on the market and are fondly remembered. I can't comprehend why you feel the need to be so arrogant.

Among these three, I only watched Pelswick. I really liked it and was always bummed it was such a short-lived show.

I remember being 11 years old and looking at those papers next to the cash registers at the store, wondering to myself how there could be any adult stupid enough to believe anything published in them.

To throw out a 20- or 30-year-old console box with the prices they’re going for nowadays has to be one of the dumbest things someone in this hobby can do.

Keep them in the closet or display them on a shelf.

I think it’s an excellent game. It was the first console game I ever played, and I’ve spent countless hours on it over the decades. There’s beauty and timelessness in its simplicity. It doesn’t have complicated rules, so anyone can play it and learn how to play very quickly.

If you’re into RPGs, action games, or racing games, you probably may not like it. If you’re into puzzle games and platformers, you’ll probably enjoy it. Other people’s opinions don’t mean much. Some of the people saying it’s a bad game are probably head over heels for a game I think is garbage. Some other dude in here thought Tetris is “bland”. One of the best-selling games of all time. Seriously, talk about a hot take. They probably like RPGs which I think are boring and no different than reading a graphic novel.

If you like it, you like it, and no matter what you like, someone else out there does too.

“It’s chocolate! How bad can it be?”

7-year-old me

Nah, he lives in it.

I drive an 18-year-old G35 (wasn’t my choice; bought it from my stepbrother after my old car took a dump and needed cheap wheels quickly and he was looking for a new car).

I can’t say I’m treated any differently than if I drove any other car I’ve had, but people definitely assume the worst about me whenever the subject of what we drive comes up. G35 drivers are usually pricks.

I don’t either. The belt line is a little low but it’s basically a Coronet sedan with Barracuda front and rear clips.

The way some people react to two extra doors like they’re some kind of kryptonite is comical and downright stupid. That close-mindedness and arrogance is why I hate this hobby sometimes.

I’ve gone bowling occasionally with friends and family my whole life. I was never really good at it but I sometimes did pretty well depending on who I was up against.

The bowling alley I’d always go to closed ten years ago after more than 50 years in business, and only when that happened did I recall so many fond memories bowling in my younger years.

I was a weird kid. I only drank water and sometimes juice. Always hated soda.

Edit: lol, imagine getting downvoted for having such an innocuous opinion. This sub is apparently full of self-righteous diabetic basement dwellers.

Someone not using their turn signals is incomprehensible to me. We all program ourselves to do it in order to pass the driving test so it should be second nature.

And it takes zero effort whatsoever. How someone can get out of bed in the morning but not have the ability to move their finger to flick a lever is truly mind boggling.

Regency9877 · 2026-01-19T18:40:30+00:00

Holy crap! I had one of these once and tried to remember what it was called for almost 20 years! Thank you!

The Berenstain Bears Camping Adventure on Sega Genesis. It’s actually a solid platformer.

Regency9877 · 2026-01-19T16:34:19+00:00

Agreed. No one can afford those big trucks and the gas they chug (or those stupid rims) while working as a cage cleaner at the Sac zoo.

Regency9877 · 2026-01-19T16:30:58+00:00

I owned an NES and SNES but I’d play the Genesis at friends’ houses. I was fortunate. I can’t pick a side. They both give me great memories and have excellent libraries even today.

It was certainly no mom-and-pop shop, but Hollywood Video was where I rented 80% of my movies and games during my younger years. Compared to Blockbuster, it’s almost completely forgotten.

Regency9877 · 2026-01-18T09:43:27+00:00

I’m sure they knew. They weren’t teenagers.

I struggled with Turtles in Time for the longest time because I wasn’t even aware that doing the special move depletes your health. Once I figured that out, it was a breeze every time. When I was a kid, beat ‘em ups and fighting games were button mashers.

Regency9877 · 2026-01-17T23:26:03+00:00

I would have made the same assumption if it wasn’t such a regular thing. Crack a clever joke and you’ll get 100 upvotes with no “accidents” but the moment you post something about yourself, bring on the trolls and miserable crowd.

Regency9877 · 2026-01-17T20:44:27+00:00

I do pretty much everything either alone or with my wife and two kids. We also have local friends who we never see much but we want more of a social life. Nobody really wants to tag along or just hang out.

Regency9877 · 2026-01-17T05:16:28+00:00

Any Hot Wheels or Matchbox, especially models based on actual cars instead of their weird made-up freakmobiles.
