I know all of this stuff outside of the first four sadly. I did see them before, but I couldn't find the name of what they were. I know the first one is a casette tape, but it's an old version of it, ig?

4 is a bootleg gamebody that we've wanted form our family back then but we couldn't get a real one

5 is a Crazy Taxi themed Dreamcast,

6 is the dark, but also nostalgic arcade games that you see in underrated places that aren't round one (like an arcade section in a local laundromat or something like that)

7 is floppy disks; the old form of tarnsfering storage and stuff like that. Put em in the old PCs and some of them are even exclusive to games and such.

8 is your big flat screen tvs that you used to have in your house that are very expensive to own,

9 is the classic corded phone (can stll be featured in some hotels actually!)

and 10 is just hanging out with your friends back then when racism, politics and covid didn't exist.

Pen... the standard ordinance Ikea or Staedtler pencil is just too small...

With VHS it's thumbs (alternating) and chin to push the unlock button!
I just double checked and sure enough the pencils I have fit right in my cassettes, I guess the sizes may vary between brands and countries?

Millennials tend to get a bad rep for being a "horrible" gen, but Millennials got to experience the 90's and early 2000's while Gen Z'ers were born more or less with a phone/tablet in their hand. :(

See if you recognize these things and have fun.

    I want a handheld gaming system with a tablet sized screen, like a 8 or10" screen, with controllers that can detach like the Switch.

    I don't see the buzz about a square screen personally. I think there will be a review on the site within a few weeks though if you are interested.

    I've put down the money on the Odin 2 Mini since I just love that Vita form factor. Loved the power of the Odin 2 but the size always put me off, this one seems exactly what I've been wanting.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I don't care about the square screen it's just nice to hold something you don't have to stretch your arms a foots length
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    All these things expecting to be super huge is overrated just run a type c cable to your TV if you want a big display or in my case screen mirror it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    On the go tho I meant, I use my tablet and a Bluetooth controller for retro gaming while sitting on my porch or on long car rides sometimes.
