Dude. CompuServe in the 80s, at 300 baud and $6 per hour. Ouch time, but it was magical.

Ah, you’re right! Didn’t Bigfoot turn out to also be an android or something? He got his arm ripped off and was carrying it around, Steve Austin helped him or something.

Well said, I feel the same. The guy was everywhere back then.

Same here! Nightmares for weeks, that Bigfoot design was amazing at the time.

This!! I’ve done the same thing, just giving the whole tube o’ coins to someone who needs them. Those tubes are the perfect size and I first heard about using them for quarters here on Lifehacker, I believe...have you posted this tip before? If so, thanks! :)

Like what?

Oh man...SO many cordless phones in a big apartment complex back then made for entertainment better than TV! Radio Shack Pro-51 (unlocked, of course) was a beast.

Bad Orange Man lives rent-free in your brain to the point that you bring him up in...a Donkey Kong article. Let it go and move on with your life.

Yep, was wanting one for Roku :) I did see other options so will check them out, seems like there’s quite a few!

Currently sold out, bummer :( Looks like a nifty thing to have!

Just like James Gunn, eh? Oh wait...

I can’t tell if you’re trolling or actually serious. In any case, that was funny!

Cool story, bro.

Agreed! Ever see the bigfoot episode? Still gives me the willies decades later.

I’d love to share about local news’ reaction to this as I was there when it happened, but Jill sent me back to the grays and shadow-banned me after I made fun of Dark Fate in one of her articles. No warning or admonition, just straight punishment. Can this be reversed, please? I’ve been here since io9 first began and…

Same here, used to enjoy watching it as a kid in the 70s. Simpler times, for sure.

Thanks for this review, it looks very tempting! I still have an original 2600 and Genesis that work, but the cartridge collection this has and portability make it a better gaming option.

I had sooo many Pac-Man patterns memorized :D It would make a quarter last for 20 minutes or more. Alas, they updated the firmware to counteract that...

Awesome video, what an amazing time to grow up that was. There was NOTHING like it, you stepped into a completely different world in an arcade. Sinistar’s roar is completely unmistakable, haha! I miss those days.

Thank you for that!! Looks similar to TokyoStreetView’s videos, he has quite a few 4K videos of walking around and also restaurants and food. SO relaxing, I really love this stuff!
