That post would be legendary if not for the right wing part, seems uncalled for and makes the atari guy look like a faggy wokie proggie when you see it with a modern lens.

I mean the NES is 1983 tech, yes. But I could never relate to these specbros who tout performance like it matters even five percent as much as the number of good games it has

>Sometime in February of '95, Scott Tengelin started a thread on this
newsgroup involving hidden characters in FF3, which were made up.
Since there are so many people out there who have done everything
there is to do in FF3, yet still enjoy the game, the thread became
rather popular. People not only came up with ideas for secret hidden
characters, but also places to get to from other video games and
exciting new endings. I posted to the thread and suggested that
someone make up a Bogus FAQ, which would include all this humorous
and exciting stuff. Then I decided, what the heck, why not me?
Scott and I gathered up all the stuff we'd saved from the thread's
postings, and I organized it, forming a 17K file, and posted it.
Lots of people posted more ideas to the thread and some sent me ideas
directly, so I continued to add them in, all the while organizing,
improving, editing, and adding lots more stuff.

This is actually pretty sweet. Might explain the origin of some of the old rumors (or at least show they were around back then and incorporated into this). Stuff like reviving General Leo with a resurrection potion you get from fighting dragons (platinum dragons here), and walking in circles around Kefka's Tower to unlock something. I remember have heard both of those from other places in the late 90s at least, maybe earlier.

>>12353667
It's legendary because it shows that mentally ill people have latched onto both politics and video games for a long time. External hobby/ideology as personality substitute.

>>12353918
The going in circles around Kefka's Tower thing supposedly unlocked the Gamma Sword IIRC, or at least in the version I heard back in the day. Must've been around 1999 or 2000.

>>12354151
Thus the heavily marketed bit.

>>12354229
Why even be into politics when you admit it's all just marketing?

>>12354227
Yeah Gamma Sword was the most common version I remembered from back then

>>12353627

As >>12354394 said, the post is from an old BBS (Bulletin Board System). Back before the World Wide Web, you could connect get one of these acoustic coupler modems (pic related) to hook up to your computer, you stick the phone over it and dial the number for the BBS from your phone and run some terminal software on your computer. When the phone connects, it would make sounds like a robot being murdered, the modem would transmit that as data into the computer to display content, and whatever you typed would be turned into similar sounds and sent back out over the phone. And since it was through a phone line only one person could connect to the board at a time so you had to wait your turn if the line was busy. Later they had modem cartridges that plugged into the cartridge slot of your computer and you could connect the phone cable straight into the modem cartridge and dial by typing the address on the computer (these were common on MSX for example).

I don't know the specifics but some of these old BBS' have been archived and you can read their old posts online. The op image is from one of these archives. It's worth mentioning, BBS are still around, and some of them are old legacy boards that have been revived and the old posts from the 80s are available to read. I personally use them, and they're popular in the Commodore/Atari/Tandy communities. You can also connect from a modern computer if you don't want to run an old 8bit machine.

>>12354382
Schizo

>>12353667
Remember, this was still the time when "left" was the edgy, counter-culture pick of punk types and those wanting to stick it to the man and has very little to do with child genital mutilation.

>>12354504(ME)
I forgot to mention, if you have ever used dial-up internet it's basically the same technology: data is transmitted as sound over phone lines. It's quite genius if you think about it. Old computers used sound to save/load data to/from cassette tapes so you could store your programs (unless you had a floppy drive which was faster), and someone had the bright idea to use that functionality in order to make computers communicate with each other.

>>12354434
It's an observation, not an endorsement of monarchy.
>"people that don't believe in sapience champion democracy"
It's true though, many political brains spend all their time crying that someone is influencing the plebs in the wrong way. Like in OP's image. Does this make you uncomfortable?

>>12354512
I think a lot of users here are too young to remember that. It flips every so many years. Back in the 90s it was bored Republican mom's who wanted to ban anything and everything. Pokemon was seen as satanic, card games were evil, and if you played Dungeons and Dragons than you were a freak who murders people in the sewers (or a poor kid who's about to be a victim of that). The punks and the counter culture of that era were all left wing because they were opposed to that stuff. Today it's the lefties who want to censor everything and the republitards who want to uncensor everything.

It's not so much to do with politics and more to do with who is trying to censor stuff.

>>12354518
the person in the OP is your average run-of-the-mill 95 IQ autist that has tantrums when people have interesting differing from their own. the exact kind that this website is infested with. that kind of brain-damaged way of thinking is going to exist regardless of the political system they live under.

what a colossally retarded observation, to think that actually matters. again, go back to your containment board so you and your butt buddies can huff each other's farts about how democracy is sooooo awful. better yet, why don't you go to saudi arabia go live under a monarchy since they're so wonderful? do it faggot, you won't.

>>12354536

>>12354525
All of it lies in letting women and weak men have political power. Women are intrinsically moralist, which is a good thing for a mother to be, and weak men will repeat whatever women want to hear in order to get laid. Throw these inclinations in a godless pluralist society constantly looking for something to ground itself with and increasingly powerful mass communication technology and you get endless finger pointing.

>>12354536
You are seeing spooks here because some ideas make you uncomfortable and so you need me to represent some enemy you think you have.
I don't think democracy is bad, what is bad is universal suffrage.

I mean, you're not exactly wrong but you also seem to be injecting your own politics into it and failing to recognize that 30 years ago it was the church people who were censoring everything. Hell, not even that far back.

Don't think I forget. I clearly remember them trying to ban literally all of the things that kept me from killing myself. I was a "rebel".

>>12354551
This is about ordinary people, not politicians who will censor according to their agenda. Today it's lefties posting on Facebook about their banned books, 30 years ago it was Pokemon cards.

>>12354557
I have no politics since I'm not trying to change anyone, just philosophy.
We can go back to Prohibition, anon, for religious women trying to control men through the State. These things are old. It's just that now women aren't particularly religious. The mistake was thinking this was a religious tendency rather than a feminine one.

>>12354567

>>12354568
My bad, when you said godless I misunderstood what you meant. Yes I agree, prohibition, censoring stuff like Pokemon and D&D, and chopping off kids genitals are all things that happened due to basically the same reason. Religion or lack of it is irrelevant.

Nope. Why does that matter? You're around other low IQ individuals like yourself that despise things like egalitarian rights.

I honestly don't even remember politics even mattering that much outside of political freaks.
People back then just treated politicians and politics as clown shit, you didn't need to pick a side. If anything, leftist types were usually hippies, who were severely mocked and ridiculed in the 90s.
It was a magical apolitical time.
And that's why they were scared and had to do everything in order to get us to where we are now.
The guy in the OP pic was just weird, bringing politics onto old console wars

>>12355249

Reagan repealing the Fairness Doctrine which led to 24 hour news networks like CNN and Fox News changed all that. They have demonstrably been some of the most evil institutions of the past half century.

I'm not convinced there was ever constructive or informative discussion on the internet between people at any point in time and the only way people ever spread useful information is on personal sites, someone monologuing on a forum or in video form. Every time you get a discusson forum with a useful thread it's the OP with a name like dsk_22, member for 24 years, 86 posts dropping a complete breakdown of what the front panel circuit communicates with on the original Xbox for revisions 1.0-1.6 and listing out part numbers and circuit diagrams he put together in his own free time. The only "discussion" you ever see in these cases is replies asking for someone else to do it.

Discussion is a meme, it's all about declaration. Declaration is declared so the mice can "discuss." Unaware they are irrelevant.

>>12360372
I'm sorry you feel that way, but I imaging why you have never seen a good discussion forum is because good discussion forums are heavily moderated.

>>12360358
Rs were never cool, though. They never had powers to trick kids into thinking they were. That's the part of the post where the commie/hippie/loser morph of leftists reveals his delusional victim mindset. I bet you anything that's what provoked the other anon to call it out.

You have consider the time period to put what he's saying in context. Back then, left-wing was hippies and right-wing was "greed is good" / '80s business guy capitalism/consumerism. He's not saying that Nintendo are nazis, he's probably just mad that they're marketing shit at children to turn them into life-long consumers. He'd probably have the same complaints about sugary cereals and Saturday morning cartoons.

>>12353667
>anon discovers that right wingers have never been popular

No that's the problem.
You had to be a delusional leftist/commie with a victim complex to believe that right-wingers were in any way cool or had any serious influence among young people in 1989.
Today it's the other way around. At least far moreso than it's been in century.

actually these are from an early part of the internet called USENET. USENET began in the 80s and propagated across bulletin board systems, as well as the early commercial online services (Compuserve, GEnie, etc).

Anyway, at some point in the 90s a website called Deja News started archiving everything on USENET except binaries and posts that used a header X-No-Archive: Yes. Eventually Google bought Deja News and over time turned it into "Google Groups" which they eventually killed, but they still kept the old archives from USENET (but with the really shitty search system they designed for Google Groups).

Generally these archives are where all these famous ancient shitposts (like Mifflin Devin) come from

>>12354557
The church people and the wokescolds are 2 flavors of the same people.

Women and womanbrained men. So on the right it's mainly actual women (church ladies), on the left its a mixture of fat fugly feminists, trannies, and faggots ruining things.

Both are primarily women trying to take men's fun away, and it's been that way since the 1910s at least.
