And I'm old enough to have played a Dreamcast when it was on display in stores (2000.) I'm 28. _Daaaaaaamn!_

[@kenm2709]

Most houses back in the 70s/80s were even older so the electricity wasn't stable, you had a higher risk of damaging small electronics plugged into the wall if the power ever had problems, which is why almost every piece of technology from that era has a battery option.

[@stoneyboyd]

Interesting I didn’t know that

[@seadenzetter7249]

Now THATS a fun fact!!

[@32-bitcloud]

Not only that, but old houses typically only had a single outlet in an entire room and the tv or lamp would usually be using it. lol

[@daftoptimist]

Makes sense; they didn’t require grounded outlets in new constructions til I think 74?

[@atlassolid5946]

My dad was telling me about how his family used to own a pong console back when he was a kid. He was describing it to me, saying it had four game modes. Tennis, Hockey, Handball, and Skeet shooting. He said that it had mechanical buttons to change the game modes that would light up and told me that you could pop out the controllers. I was thinking to myself, "that sounds so familiar. Where have I heard about this before?" I went back to this video to look for it, and lo and behold, 6:27 showed up and that was it! The Colorsport VIII. I showed some screenshots to my dad and he confirmed it. That was the one. Thanks for helping me out by making this video, James!

[@SixSpeeed]

Did you ask him why the game modes only changed the color? lol

[@hankl8168]

Does his console still word?

That was only the case from the New 3DS onwards and that was probably because every Nintendo handheld in the DS and 3DS family uses the same AC adapter, so they assumed you'd have one lying around.

Now I'm curious to know if some of the developers who made these consoles put numbers at the end of their products to represent model types, or they just wanted to sound futuristic, like how most gadgets in the 80-90's had "2000" on their names.

[@beef_tractor2018]

E.g. Tempest 2000 for the Atari Jaguar

[@tifforo1]

I know that in at least some cases, it meant something. Commodore liked to name systems for how many kilobytes of memory they had (Commodore 64; Amiga 500; Amiga 1200). Later, during what James calls the "bit wars", the number of bits in the processor or graphics processor was in the system name, like the Turbografx 16 and the Nintendo 64.

I've restored a lot Pong consoles in the last 4 weeks and the problem is to get a 1 M ohm variable resistor in the right size for the pads. It's always a good idea to replace the old capacitors.

[@arashimiyazawa8165]

You don't need the fork. Just strip the plastic off the wire a little bit, and wrap the cable around the screw that would hold the fork to the television. The forks fell off our old 2600 back in the day and that's how we had it hooked up. The forks are just there to make it easier, so long as the wire is connected to the screw on the TV in some way, it will work. You can also buy replacement forks and crimp them onto the ends of the wire.
