minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•1 year agoTwo consoles wasn’t really a thing back then. If you had a Nintendo you weren’t really messing with anything older anymore. At least in my experience. If you wanted to switch you just changed the plugs around.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish3•1 year agoI knew some kids privileged enough to have both a SNES and a Genesis. It wasn’t impossible. Also VCRs used the same RF switching system. The real question was, why would you have more than one of these things on at any given time?
