  • The Daily Prompt – No. 325

    Which outdated technology do you miss the most, and why?

    I miss the Sega Dreamcast. This is back when I was high school and played video games religiously. I was gifted a Dreamcast for Christmas’s. I was so ecstatic and happy. In the midst of the personal turmoil that was occurring in my life, video games were a refuge.

    I remember playing NBA2K with Allen Iverson on the cover at home with my sister at my mom’s. I would also travel to my friend’s place and play video games there. So many memories created. It was a personal mini-convention, if you will.

    I know you can get emulators nowadays to replicate the Dreamcast but the memories. I’ll always hold on those.

    This long-form explanation on why you didn’t see MJ23 in any video games from the mid-90s until the early Teens with the release of NBA2K11.

    (I can’t embed because there’s some sort of universal block on viewing YouTubes outside the website.)

    That video is definitely worth your time if you have 4 to 5 minutes to spare.

  • Super Bases Loaded

    Last night I found out that Ryne Sandberg passed away. It took me a while to realize my connection to him.

    He was the cover athlete on the Super Bases Loaded video game of the SNES. That was the first baseball game that ever I owned. I had many good memories while playing that game.

    I pray that God comforts his family in this transition period.
