Nintendo DS sales are crazy popular right now too. They like our tech like we liked our parents’ Ataris.

Theres a reason retro consoles are a huge hit right now. Even emulation consoles like the Miyoo Mini Plus.

Parents?? That was my first console. How young is everyone here?

To be fair, the 2600 is 47 years old, you’d have to be 52 at a minimum to remember it launching and 42 to remember the NES. I just remember loving my Atari 2600 all the way in the 90s.

I’m 42. I always got systems later than other kids. The Atari was in the house ever since I could form memories, and I finally got an NES in 1990, when the SNES and Genesis/Mega drive were on the horizon.

My first console was an Atari 2600 clone in 1994!
