Things were very different before Game Fly, Netflix, and Red Box. Heck, even before the now-mostly-defunct Blockbuster, the best place to rent video games was from the local grocery store. Do you remember those weird plastic slip cases that VHS tapes would sometimes come in, or the clear plastic shells for NES carts with a badly xeroxed copy of the box cover inside? Of course you do.
Sean and Vinnk wonder if game rental is a good way to distinguish between what
is a video game console and what is just a computer. Or maybe there's no distinction? Which consoles are really PCs in disguise... or vice versa? Maybe there just aren't any answers, but at Famicom Dojo we'll definitely try to find them! Also, more listener voicemails!
