Let me just call someone if they're still at home on this payphone to look it up in the encyclopedia that was printed 20 years ago
I still dream in black and white.
I had a couple of magazine CDs that I got from a trial subscription.

AOL zines were pretty neat.
Researching for essays was annoying because you had to actually leave your house and go to a library to get books. (But libraries are fun for personal reading.)
Can someone explain this to me pls?
I'm sure there were other consoles that did it, but the one I remember is the NES; it had a physical switch on it for channel 3 or 4, and you had to have your TV tuned to the respective channel to get the game to show up. As to why that was necessary on a technical level, I'm not sure. But it was a thing you had to do.

Bullshit they could work on channel 4 too; the NES and the SNES both had a switch in the back for that, I assume the Genesis and TurboGrafx16 did too

Channel 3 or 4 I believe. They're set such that woukd allow you to choose if one or the other was selected for something like a vcr. This was the precursor to different inputs on tvs.
