JCC The Everything Retro Thread

Pretty much my favorite thing in the early 90s. I got a subscription for a few years. Getting stuff in the mail was almost a thrill for 12-14 year old me. I kept these for so long. And would re-read them and remember which games I wanted for Xmas. And yes, I had a 32X Sega CD.

 

I have that, and Tank Trap and an ocean fleet battle who's name I forget.

 

what year was this?

 

1982

 

I wanted one of those so badly as a kid.

I did have this though:

 

Need an identification or youtube vid. I saw this in the 70's or early 80's. It was in color. It may have been far older. It was aired on a showed titled "Fables". It featured this art tools coming to life. So a tube of paint dueled another tube of paint using pins and needles. The good guy tube of paint sacrificed himself by spinning off his cap and squirting his blue paint all over the canvas.

 

Yeah, I had that.

 

I have a large collection of Sega consoles such as the Mega Drive 1&2, Mega CD 1&2, 32X, Saturn, Dreamcast etc, games and magazines.

About a month ago I managed to buy this brand new, never been used Sega Mega Drive from a Youtuber who had bought it a few years ago and did an unboxing only video on it . It's going to remain unused.

 

how do you even hook them up to new tvs. lol.

I had something like this growing up... but it was 80s honey-brown color and bigger. lol

 

You can get hdmi converters or you can get a scart cable made. I got one made for an N64 several years ago.

 

If your hair is wrong your ENTIRE life is wrong.

Wow. They didn't mince advertising words back then. lol.

 

wow ^that looks real cheap.

 

Fortunately, this didn't take...

 

I’m having a hard time figuring out the scale of it lol. Either it’s ginormous or that woman and Xmas tree are teeny. .

 

Oh yeah. Those were AWESOME!

 

In elementary school, the projector was on a cart and installed in a box with an attached rear-projection screen. It was pretty handy.
For a few years, at the library I work for, I ran the projector for kids' movies during the summer. And we still have the projector stored away, just in case.

 

I bought one for 50$ from an elementary school.
