opium i dunno how many cartridge games you played back in the day but the switch to discs was a big deal in terms of load times

they've become the norm so everyone's used to them now, but shit like banjo-kazooie would load instantly back on the n64

I just didn't care because I accepted that it was par for the course with that technology.  If I wanted to play it, then I will have already decided not to give a crap about the load times.  I wouldn't buy a PS1 and then moan about load times.

neither would i ... i've never owned a ps1. i was just talking about why it didn't appeal to me at the time. that's hardly complaining. if you're used to not having any load times whatsoever, load times are a big deal. they're still a big deal to me. i hate load times.

They give me a chance to take a hit, or a drag, or a sip, so I'm OK with them I guess.

and it's funny how I never really even heard about some of the other consoles from those years.  I've heard more about them today then I did back then, turbo graphics, master drive something or other, etc.

I never had those and I don't know anyone who did.

The Turbo Grafx was fucked over by NEC bringing next to none of its library over from Japan.

I remember trying game gear at Target and was so amazed that it was in color.  I played a sonic game on it for a few minutes.  I never thought about getting it because it was way too expensive, esp for me at that time.

Fun fact: The GBA was pretty much set for release by the late 90s, but Nintendo stalled it because the GB Color was so huge.

I never had GB color.  I thought it looked terrible.

I never owned one. I just borrowed old Pokemon games from friends and played them on my GBA.
