A Usenet discussion on the merits of all major systems at the time of December, 1989.

The evolution of the fanboy has hardly changed~~

IT'S LIKE A TIME MACHINE

HOLY SHIT WE HAVEN'T CHANGED AT ALL

Now I obviously wasn't alive back then but I assume(d) barely anyone had computers let alone the internet in 1989.

Personally, I think the Nintendo Wii is a piece of right wing garbage akin to the

IBM PC Mac. Slow, out of date, but heavily marketed so that mindless dweenies will

think it's the hottest thing since Zelda had her first period. I have yet TO

SEE A SINGLE GAME ON THE THING SUBSTANTIALLY BETTER THAN STUFF I PLAYED ON MY

OLD ATARI 800 PLAYSTATION 2 SEVEN YEARS AGO.....Yes, there are some nice games, but they do

not do anything extraordinary and in fact clearly show the glaring limitations

of the thing's inferior pre-VLSI hardware.

On the subject of the Sega Genesis Playstation 3 and the Turbografix 16 Xbox 360. At least these guys

are using hardware invented after the Apple II year 2000, give 'em credit! The graphics

in these games are NICE! I really can't give a decent opinion as to which is

better, they're both fantastic!

Wow, nothing never really changed at all!

Now I obviously wasn't alive back then but I assume(d) barely anyone had computers let alone the internet in 1989.

Even when the internet was expanding nerds stayed in their nerd sites.

Now stuff like The Simpsons on the other hand...
