I’m more concerned about the DVD case which barely existed in 96 lol

They were right to. My brother and I burned dad’s rear projection tv in minutes playing megaman x.

I had a friend with rich parents who had one and it diiiiiid have some burn-in. Old rear-projection and early plasma TVs were verrry susceptible to that hahaha
As a kid, I would have been CRUSHED if we had one of these and I couldn’t play SNES on it…

Me in 2026 to myself: Be careful about burn in.
Also me in 2026 back to myself: Engineers solved that with hardware and software a long time ago. Burn in is incredibly rare now.
Me again: Remember how mad dad got about the Cartoon Network logo in the corner?
Me, frustrated: Dude, we haven’t watched network TV in 20 years.
My final stand: Dad was really mad, bro.
