This comic is likely a decade old at this point, most average people would have just used AI.
And yes, vintage gaming is very much a thing, and is pushing vintage hardware into nosebleed territory. Ten years ago you couldn’t give away a 36″ Sony Trinitron CRT TV. These days you have gamers offering up to $500 for it just to be able to play Duck Hunt (which requires a CRT TV in order for the guns to work). Same goes for the machines and consoles as well… just saw a Commodore Vic-20 on FB Marketplace for $200CAD, and that was just for the bare unit, no extras.
