Youtube Video Shows You How To Be A 90s Gamer
Being a gamer in the 1990s was strange. The public face of gaming, depending on who you ask, was either voyeuristic murder simulators or mascot platformers. Things haven't changed a ton.
But there was also Bubble Tape! And Socker Boppers! And Yak Baks, because you can fake your parents coming home early for reasons that don't make a lot of sense! IFHT Films is exposing all the quirks of being a 90s gamer in their short film, everything from LAN parties to making dark playground deals for use of someone's GameShark.
Check out the video below and then let us know your tales of being a 90s gamer in the comments.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
