I never did and me and my buds all had an N64. I had 2 gameboys and pokemon red blue and yellow and never had to blow shit. Either you musta gotten unlucky or I got really lucky.

Every NES I encountered when I was a kid we had to blow.

I never did for N64 and Gameboy either. They worked better than NES so I never felt the need to

I never did. Most sessions with my nes as a child was usually preempted by 10 mins of blowing into a cartridge trying to get it to work.

My n64 and gameboy games always worked unless something was definitely broken.

Gen xers where atari. Maybe some of the younger boomers played some atari.

Think that 70s show they where Gen x. The teens I mean. The parents where boomers.

It annoys me people confuse the gens but I gotta remind myself I've had to take two classes for work about the different Gens and what they bring to the table

Anyways one for younger millennial and older zoomed maybe. Having to hit 1 3 times to type a c in a text message

Same I think snes may have been out by then but I'd have to check. I started gaming apparently in 1990 at a whopping age of 2. Had a older brother though

Off the top of my head I don't remember doing it but it's possible I rarely had to do it.

Wasn't the issue with the NES cartridges that the pieces that were supposed to connect together to read the cartridge got dusty and didn't make that connection properly? I feel like with the SNES/N64 they had fixed that issue for the most part.

Never had to blow into an Atari cartridge. They always just worked.

Also boomers were way before Atari.

If you at least bothered to keep the little plastic sleeve it came in, then it wouldn't of been a problem.

My parents are boomers and they played Atari consoles when they were kids

I'm a millennial and played NES/SNES as a kid, so did all the other millennials in my family

Pretty familiar with the terms

They would have been 13 when atari released. Give or take a few months. And that's going by the last year of what's considered boomer

According to Google They were born in the late 50s. They're boomers. There's an episode where they get pong and go crazy over it.

Red was born in 1927 which is nowhere near being a boomer.

Boomers ended at 1964. Atari according to a quick Google search says it came out inn1977
