Just like computers of the same era

@RhodieNite  
It’s the plastic.

@Cyborg_pony  
Yeah, it’s a sign of degradation of the of the fire retardant chemical in the plastic.

Does anyone ever had the feel that you remember something you watched as a kid but don’t remember whether or not it was actually real or even existed? I’ve had thst plenty of times.
 
Though over time I did rediscover things I grew up with like Dinosaurs! A Fun-filled Trip Back in Time or those old Nickelodeon short cartoons like Safety Queen and The Off-Beats  
But then there’s stuff I kinda remember but don’t actually know what it was for example: a movie or maybe show about people who use high tech vehicles to capture prehistoric dinosaurs; and I think it used both 2D animation and real life miniatures.

@Dr_Osaka
 
I definitely know that feel

Best damn vacuum cleaner I’ve ever had.

@Selaphiel  
I remember a door-to-door salesman came to our house and tried to sell my mom a vaccume.
 
Not sure if it looked like that.

@Cyborg_pony  
a door to door salesman sold my grandma a kirby g4. It was such a beast that it had a power assist called “tech-drive” that would drive the vacuum forward and backward. I always thought that the part where the bag attached to the bottom looked like a shoe/boot

AMF MagicScore - automatic bowling scoring system, 1980
 

 
 
One of the most sophisticated innovation of bowling besides automatic pinsetter machines. It uses analog system to detect which pins are still standing and which are destroyed knocked over. The information is sent into the computer and calculated

@RhodieNite
 
That takes me back to most of my cousin’s birthdays

@Dirty Bit  
I was normally in the back where the arcades where I played this:
 

@Selaphiel
 
Had that at one point

The gateway to Gameboy.

In the early 90s, these two surround sound formats played with the likes of Terminator 2 and Jurassic Park in theaters. About half a decade before the launch of DVD.

Game Boy NighTeen Night by Rachid Lotf

@Selaphiel
 
This, though

@Dirty Bit  
Totally 90s struggle.

@Selaphiel  
I got the little light attachment for mine.

@Cyborg_pony  
I had a set that came with a nauseating magnifying glass.
