Here's a news story on maniac game collectors. The guy on the bottom collects retro (by 1990 standards!!!!!) systems and arcade PCBs.
Here are some funny comics containing some sometimes
merciless humour. This series could be called "Why systems failed."
They run vertically, by the way.
I'll transcribe some of the text from each of them; they're just too good to
miss.
1) "Hi, I'm Disk-Kun! I can store 3 times the data of a standard cartridge,
and you can save your games too!". But by the time Disk-Kun arrived, bigger
games with battery save data had come along, and sent the Famicom Disk System
quickly off to Game Hell.
2) Don't cry over dead systems like your Sega Mark III and Betamax VCR. Life
goes on and better systems have come along. It's time to grow up!
3) 1st caption: PC-Engine Super Grafx: This is amazing!!! 2nd pic: the colour
fades... 4th pic: BIG, EXPENSIVE, UNCOOL!!! We're not wasting our money on that!
4) Game Boy (in Japanese): "GEMU BOI DEeeSU!" Lynx (in English): "GOOOD
MORNING TOKYO! MY NAME'S LYNX. I'M VERY CLEVER!". 2nd caption: Game Boy:
"But Tetris is fun, right?" Lynx: "HAHAHA! Black & White
graphics are lame, etc.etc..." 3rd caption: they continue to fight then
the Lynx sudenly stops. 4th caption: Lynx's batteries are about to die.
