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.
>>

I 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
>>
>>11355735
No I was trying to poke fun of old terminology people used regarding games.

>t. not a zoomer

>TFW I had to return my Nintendo tape
Don't you mean your Nintendo cassette?
>>
>>11355743
Well 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 tapes
people definitely called nes games "tapes" where I grew up, only nes games though, not snes or sega

I 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
>>
>>11355910
It's called an extra guy
>>
>>11355812
This, I caught the very end of this in my small town.
>>
>>11355638
Oh no, did you run out of men?
>>
People also called the flying Koopa Troopas “ducks” for some reason
>>
>>11355678

You can cheat this end enemy tho
>>
>>11355661
>called cartridges tapes
Happened in my country as well. We did it because it was confused with VHS since rental stores provided both "Cartuchos" and VHS tapes.

>Free Guy
Almost lads.
>>
>>11355638
I had to use a password to get surplus marios so I could beat contra in one game
>>
>>11355929
Also extra man,

My dad would call the demo that plays at a start screen "the adverts".
>>
>>11355952
It'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

I remember many such kids. When they grew up they made the first video games. And then your grandfather was born.

>>11355761
My 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
>>11355923
I've heard that too. It must be because the game was called SUPER MARIO BROS DUCK HUNT kek
>>
>>11356494
It is because early arcade games are a single screen, like a board.

>ducks

It's either what you said or someone saw this old ad which gives the Koopa Troopas bird heads.
>>
>>11355761
Wrong, I remember playing Snake Rattle & Roll on NES with a kid who called the levels boards.
>>
>>11357035
Wow so there was definitely a lot duck vibes being thrown at that game
>>
>>11355661
I don't remember kids doing it, but my Greatest Generation grandmother did.
>>
>>11357035
When 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.
>>
>>11355661
oh yes they very much did
>>
>>11355914
I 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.
>>
>>11357368

I remember little kids occasionally saying Intendo instead of Nintendo.
>>
>>11357378
I did this.
>>

>Well you must be a zoomer
Everyone older than you isn't a zoomer kiddo
