So I've been constantly trolling video game sections on craiglists looking for anything that catches my eye when I just now came across this failure. http://inlandempire.craigslist.org/vgm/3739815174.html
I find that kind of, no, really sad to see a Dad advertising for friends for his son to play with- but at the same time, Why the heck does he have an Xbox. At 8. I only had a DS then- that was enough.
my first gameboy was a gameboy pocket and that was in 1997 but i had a N64 and megadrive too back then and systems before that. lots of younger kids have ps3's and xbox 360s now
I thought the same thing, lol. When I was 8, the N64 just came out... and that was also considered extremely young on the internet until a few years ago. Seem like I begin to represent the old fart segment, bah
I was 7 when I had my first gameboy. It was called gameboy (i'm old, I know). For the actual first post, a part of craigslist exists for this type of thing. But I have seen way weirder. My favorites are the car sections. Lots of riced out beaters with people saying they know what it's worth, and no lowballin. But they highball the fuck out of it. Like anyone wants your beat up old civic with 3 out of 4 of the wheels coming of an Integra.
I was 6 when I had my first Atari 2600 Yes I'm ancient, old enough to remember when computer wasn't user friendly. When hard drive weighted more than 50 pounds (22Kg) When writing game code over 4k was considered very large. And when game controller had only 1 stick and 1 button.
For me at 9, Sinclair ZX Spectrum with 16KB RAM. Classic British computer. Side note: In the UK we had no real console scene at all (and no games "crash" in the 80's) and the NES/Mastersystem were quite late to the party. Everyone had a home computer when I was growing up, and the UK produced 5 or 6 different lines (Sinclair, Acorn, Oric, Amstrad, plus a lot of smaller players) plus the C64 and cassette software was dirt cheap (could buy games from Codemasters and Mastertronic for £2 per cassette) and even full priced, games were rarely over £10 - £15. In many ways we had it a lot better ;-)
when I was kid... My older brother had an Atari St FM 520, with hundreds of pirate floppy disks! I played the death out of it. Once, I remember writing the names of games I wanted to play on a floppy in an attempt to get the computer to play them. Other wise moves included, breaking the floppy disk drive, breaking the joystick/mouse ports and drawing marker pen on my brothers monitor (?!) Got a SNES after that around 93/94 - I'm sure my brother had a mega drive before hand though? I remember he had FIFA, Speedball 2, Sonic 2 etc etc... good times Nowadays console wise, have a DS, a PSP (hand helds!) and a very dusty and caseless PS2. Oh, and the PC - which is a superior games machine to any console! ;-)
This is a new laugh at loud one: http://jxn.craigslist.org/vgm/3749312539.html Whats wrong with it? Well for starters, he has a pair of socks and underwear in the first pic. Second, he emailed me after i posted my PS3 on CL for only $150, and he asked if he could trade. So, i asked the specs. THE SPECS FOR THE PC HE WANTED TO TRADE TO ME WAS: Intel pentium D 2GB Ram 128MB Video 60GB HD He then tried to say it was brand new last year. HA! I even said its a POS and he had the nerve to keep flagging my posts, and even emailed me again saying my PS3 was a pile of crap and not worth more than his pc. Im in pure lol.
Tell him you will do swaps for a VL and a fish tank. Hmm probably only a joke an Australian would get....
