Me, old enough to have owned an Atari 2600 (…clone):
side eye monkey meme
My first computer was a VIC-20 lol
I’m old enough to have been an engineer of a pre-PS2 system. All I’m going to say.
If 3DO you are truly goated!

We are not worthy! But thank you for inspiring the next generation of us.
PS2…Pffft. I had a PlayStation. The indestructible grey box from the before times. I played Final Fantasy VII, Driver, Silent Hill, Tekken 3, Resident Evil, Metal Gear Solid, and Grand Theft Auto. Unless the power was out, you could pop in a disc, read the booklet, and play to your heart’s content. Hell, if we are going to be talking old, how about playing Jeep Command or Pac-Man on the Commodore 64? I need to go back in my dusty coffin and have a nap. AND GET OFF MY LAWN!!!
Your PS1 was indestructible? The optical drive on every one I’ve ever seen had some sort of significant issue.
It still ran when I gave it away a couple of years ago.
Played Tekken 3 with my friend and his brother on their PS.
Then we also played SW : RotS on our PS2.
The PS2 is still around somewhere, but its CD drive sensor is bad, so it doesn’t detect when it’s closed. And thus doesn’t read discs. That was long ago. I need to find it, I think I’m grown up enough to fix one sensor or find a replacement drive.
I suppose the old game CDs all have scratches too bad to play, so some tinkering is expected to make it work.
And while there was an officially supported Linux version for it, of what I’ve read about it, it wasn’t of much use even then and was an advertising move (if so, worked on my dad, I remember him mentioning that back then).
My last console 😢
Me sad, me nostalgic
My consolences.
Did nobody visit their grandparents and play atari games? Did people stop hanging onto their old games and consoles?
I had a neighbor with a colecovision, that still feels like a fever dream
Seeing how old a youtube video is makes me feel older than this. Like I see 16y on a YouTube video I was watching literally 16 years ago and I feel old from that.
This though, it throws me into a nostalgia loop of man I do miss plying ps1 games on the ps2, spending time with my brother, buying accessories for it like the memory cards and the controllers with extra vibration or the ones with the fans in the handles. Man those were good times. Playing dbz budokai 2 and soul caliber 2. Awww man the THPS games were fuckin’ sick on that. The Matt Hoffman bike games!!!
Yea it was truly a legendary system.
“Are you old enough to have seen the console that had the most units produced over the longest lifetime of any other console, and which is still made in some parts of the world today?”
the ps2 was discontinued worldwide on 4 january 2013
I want a brand new ps2 with all the old ps2 games. I bet it exists, eh?

Oh,ok. Thats fine. I was getting concerned he was like 8. I was gonna be like “FBI? Yes, this post right here.”
Why? Is it just like the best pussy ever?
Let me show you my original Nintendo game & watch young one…
My friend brought over his PS2 to play guitar hero last year. Im not even 30 what did the tiktok attention span do to the kids 😭
I haven’t played video games since the Atari 2600. You kids don’t know!! Back in my day I had to walk ten miles in the snow for a hit of ecstacy
In our day we had to walk seventeen miles down the beach to get into the deep end of the ocean
So is that why you old folks f*cked up the planet so that ocean can come vist us 17 miles high \s
I remember staying up all night long with a group of friends of mine. We took turns driving by Target where one guy worked and he knew they were getting a shipment of PS2s in.
We formed battle plans based on who wanted the PS2 the most , down to me, who would buy one if there were enough, but didn’t overly care if I had to wait a few months to get one. Since I cared less, and am over 6ft I was dubbed crowd control. The guy that worked there drew the floorplan and showed us where the display was going. Our caffeine fueled plans had us developing different formations and routes to ensure as many PS2s for the group as possible and delay other people as long as possible. And contingency plans if a different customer took an alternate route around the crowd to get there first.
Once we saw the line starting to form at around 2am we all drove down and got in line and camped out till 6am when the store opened.
Our plans were dashed, but held in reserve just in case things went south when we learned the store manager was a levelheaded individual. He passed out numbers for each of us based on our position in line.
I was #12.
The line never got longer than the number of PS2s they had in stock, so our plans were doubly dashed as there was absolutly zero confrontation.
It was a fun fantasy for a while though. These were the same kids that had baseball bats and ski masks at the ready when Y2K happened. They patrolled the town at midnight looking for signs that everything crashed and were going to join in if they saw anyone looting. They wouldn’t start the looting, but were ready with a wishlist from various stores. Best Buy was high in their priorities.
That also never happened. But boy were they ready.
I had some friends that worked at a major retailer. When the first shipment of PS2s arrived, a few somehow ended up in a dumpster. They were taken in from the cold and found loving homes.
Sounds like you found some employee’s stash before he could get back to it.
I still have my first US gen PS2 (fat boy, not the slim one) and it still works fine. Doesn’t look good on modern tvs though
