"Old school" Never Grows Old!

It was year 2008 when I bought my very first CRT TV. Despite owning a Smart TV, I have no plans of selling it. Why? Simply because of these...

When I was a kid, my very first home console was an Atari clone, which I saw in a newspaper ad. Ads those days? They didn't have pictures. I came to see the seller out of curiosity. I didn't really want to buy it even after seeing it in actual. But since I just can't say "no", I still bought it for 10 GBP.

Growing up in the Nintendo-Sega era, I somehow had fun playing it for atleast 5-10 minutes before shoving it on the shelves to collect dust --- or what modern day gamers refer to as "dust collector". Imagine playing this, I bet you'd do the same.   


I then had an Atari 2600 which was a Christmas present from my mom. I was so excited knowing that Atari was a strong console competitor in the market those days.

Christmas day year 1990, mom bought me a NES Deluxe set. A few years later, the Sega Megadrive was launched, followed by the Super Nes. I was envious of my friends who owned them. Since I just couldn't afford one, I had to settle in reading video game magazines. That's my way of atleast feeling like I was playing it. 

Few years after, mom got me a Sega Megadrive. Despite being a Nintendo fan, I honestly enjoyed it. Not knowing the essence of retro gaming that time, I traded my Megadrive for a PlayStation. Wrong move!

Retro gaming was introduced to me by my friend Dodi. Since then, I started to buy the consoles that I drooled over when I was a child. 

As to why am I keeping my "ancient" consoles, you'll know more about it on my next blogs. So stay tuned!
