ITT: Stuff that makes you feel old.

I have a near mint condition original Gameboy and Gameboy Color. Yes, both work perfectly.

Aww yeah.

High five.

I still own my Gameboy, Gameboy Pocket, and Gameboy Color. And the Pokemon games to go with them.

I played the SNES and Genesis as a kid. Even though they were outdated at the time, I still played 'em.

Still have a ton of old GB© games somewhere.

Wait... I'm 15 can I contribute too? O_o or am I too young?

Well, I'm only 19. If anything makes you feel old, post it. Could be something 10 year olds today don't know about or whatever. The world changes fast.

Yeah, I have my gameboy color too. I bought it in Japan when I went on a trip there. I remember how some other kid on the same tour group bought one too and we kept playing the whole time. I forget what game we were playing though.

The sound stopped working pretty quickly when I kept dropping it, but it still works fine otherwise.

This doesn't really make me feel old though.

What does make me feel old is that my brother is going to university in a couple of months and I realize how soon I'm going to do that too.

I remember the JFK and RFK assassinations.

Yeah, take that, fuckers.

The fact that me and a friend have like a one hour conversation all about reminiscing about the old TV shows and games way back in the 90s every week makes me feel old

It's kind of sad, but at only 14, I've had this happen in school. We've talked about old TV shows and strange fads.

Like those Wonderball candy things that we were all obsessed with when we were little...

And I've played none of them.

Yes!

Pulled out my dreamcast, nintendo 64, and PS1.
All still work.

I was playing Pokemon Yellow on my Gameboy Color while watching Gundam Wing earlier today.

yeah. I was born in 1992. When i see all these old shows on. And tehn hear theyve been playing or over a decade im like 0.0

What makes me feel old is I distinctly remember a time when people born in 1992-1993 were 2-3 years old.

I had a gameboy pocket when they first came out. My cousin had a gameboy a year before that (I remember handheld games being black and white...).

*cough*Game Gear*cough*

To elaborate for those who don't know, the Sega Game Gear was released only 2 years after the Nintendo Game Boy (making it one of the very early handheld game systems) but the Game Gear games were in color and had a built in adjustable light. So even though the earliest handheld games were in black and white, it didn't take long for them to find color.

Edit: Just to add on what makes me feel old, thinking back and remembering that the outside was fun and tiny toons still made references to Bush senior (IIRC)

[color="#cc8899"]I know, but I didn't have one
My then best friend did though. I played NES and SNES, but my first console was a N64. Diddy Kong Racing ftw (my little sister was like 5 at the time, and would raise bloody hell whenever I "shot" her with the missile powerups, to the point that I was actually forbidden from doing so (even though she was still allowed to). My solution?

 Spoiler

Traps - I'd slow down until she was right behind me, then let loose and speed away.

Oh also I still have a working Atari that I played a lot as a kid. I think the NES was already out and we owned one but Dig Dug owned too much ass for me to want to play anything else.

Pokémon came out 11 years ago

Nintendo 64 came out 13 years ago

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers first aired 16 years ago

Super Nintendo came out 18 years ago

Game boy came out 20 years ago

The Nintendo came out 24 years ago


Oh god, I feel so old.




I'm so glad I still have all my old stuff from my childhood.

 Spoiler

All of those are in working condition.

Never owned an N64 though. My first "up to date" system was a GameCube; it felt weird seeing commercials for games that I could play.

Also, I got that copy of FFV at Anime Boston recently. I now need FFII (SNES) and Chrono Trigger.

I have that same exact Gameboy color lol.
I miss my Genesis.. I sold it at a garage sale.
Very stupid idea.

I have a Super Nintendo with all of the original packaging. Apparently my dad kept it in the garage in case I wanted to return it, and the packaging has been there ever since.

I was playing Pokemon Yellow on my Gameboy Color while watching Gundam Wing earlier today.

That is awesome. I just downloaded the remastered edition, I am going to rewatch Gundam Wing sometime over the summer.
