TFW I had to return my Nintendo tape to the video store before I could beat all the boards!
I remember the kid who called levels boards but no one ever called cartridges tapes, no way.
I can't beat the Yellow Devil. Hardest mayor ever.
>>11355661I think the zoomer is trying to say you rented a video tape on beating a nes game because most zoomers have been horribly refueled by the legend of zelda NES and are convinced a game that came out before Nintendo Power was engineered to sell strategy guides
>>11355735No I was trying to poke fun of old terminology people used regarding games. >t. not a zoomer
>>11355638>TFW I had to return my Nintendo tapeDon't you mean your Nintendo cassette?
>>11355743Well you must be a zoomer because no one ever called a NES cartridge a tape and no one started saying "boards" until King of King came out.
>>11355661>no one ever called cartridges tapespeople definitely called nes games "tapes" where I grew up, only nes games though, not snes or sega

>>11355638I remember "boards" being used for multiplayer games only. For a single player game like Super Mario Bros, those were always worlds or levels.
>>11355638>there's a free man in this level
>>11355910It's called an extra guy
>>11355812This, I caught the very end of this in my small town.
>>11355638Oh no, did you run out of men?
People also called the flying Koopa Troopas “ducks” for some reason
>>11355678You can cheat this end enemy tho
>>11355661>called cartridges tapesHappened in my country as well. We did it because it was confused with VHS since rental stores provided both "Cartuchos" and VHS tapes.
>>11355910>>11355914>Free GuyAlmost lads.
>>11355638I had to use a password to get surplus marios so I could beat contra in one game
>>11355929Also extra man,
>bossman
My dad would call the demo that plays at a start screen "the adverts".
>>11355952It's called the "attract screen" so he wasn't that wrong.
i think "tapes" was primarily adults who thought they looked like 8 track trapes
>>11355910
>>11355638>beatDon't you mean clear?
Hand me the remote.
>>11355661>I remember the kid who called levels boardsI remember many such kids. When they grew up they made the first video games. And then your grandfather was born.
>>11355928Devolve o ouro
>>11355761My uncle only played the tomb raider games and he called the levels boards. There is a subset of boomers and early gen x that though of video games as a series of board games>>11355923I've heard that too. It must be because the game was called SUPER MARIO BROS DUCK HUNT kek
>>11356494It is because early arcade games are a single screen, like a board.
>>11356494>ducksIt's either what you said or someone saw this old ad which gives the Koopa Troopas bird heads.
>>11355761Wrong, I remember playing Snake Rattle & Roll on NES with a kid who called the levels boards.
>>11357035Wow so there was definitely a lot duck vibes being thrown at that game
>>11355661I don't remember kids doing it, but my Greatest Generation grandmother did.
>>11357035When I brought my nintendo over when I stayed at my grandparents, my grandmother thought they were ducks as well (especially the flying turtles). When I got a gensis she also called it the "nitendo", missing the end. All video games were a type in nitendo.
>>11355661oh yes they very much did
>>11355914I was introduced to NES by neighbor kids who lived down the alley from my family. Those kids said "end guy" instead of "boss", which I still kinda like. That's one I haven't heard anywhere else, but it wouldn't surprise me if they'd gotten it from some other kids somewhere.
>>11357368I remember little kids occasionally saying Intendo instead of Nintendo.
>>11357378I did this.
>>11355761>Well you must be a zoomerEveryone older than you isn't a zoomer kiddo
