A guy on Wheel of Fortune just said he "collects retro video game systems"

They said, I bet, they’ll never make it

    *SIGH*



    THIS again?



    Ever hear of “retro rockets?” “Retroactive?” “Retrograde?”
  • Yeah I think there is way too much emphasis on the concern about what terminology people use when referring to older consoles.



    Clearly everyone knew what he was talking about.
  • This is interesting.... But I must admit, I'm extremely jealous.



    I want to go on "Wheel" and say "I live in the age of Nintendo"



    But they probably wouldn't like that because of the name drop....
  • Obviously not hardcore

    I think I entered a realm I didn’t know existed. I just thought it was cool the guy said he collects. I didn’t know this terminology drama.

    Thems is fightin words 'round these parts, partner.

     
  • People get super salty over stupid things like "hardcore" vs non hardcore collectors, or people that only play mobile games arent "gamers"



    Its silly
  • Yeah gatekeeping is dumb af. Some people, smh.
  • I doubt he listed the specific systems he collects, so if you really wanna get technical, the guy could have been referring to the Analogue NT systems, or the recent "classic hdmi" systems. Those are modern products that play vintage software and have classic styling.... aka "retro".
  • I started reading Ready Player One, excited for all the talk about old video games because hey, I like old video games!



    But so far there's no talk of anything that's "new" enough for me to know a lot about it. NES isn't old enough, for example. Guess I'm a poser!

    Maybe he's just really looking forward to that new Intellivision thing.
  • "I got the NES Classic, the SNES Classic... I bought the PS1 Mini too, oh and I have the Atari Classic!"



    The Wheel of Fortune guy, probably.

    Bet your neighbor the accountant doesn’t have a shot to get on the pro tour. 

    Bet your neighbor the accountant can’t drive the ball 400 yards.

  • I bet I could be a real good contestant on there (plenty of practice on all the different console/handheld versions of WoF!)...but I bet they get millions of potential contestants though  
  • "You hit that guy!"

    "He shouldn't have been standing there"

    "That house is like 400 yards away!"

    "Is that good?"
