Everyone I knew had their NES on the floor. I wonder, does anyone still do that, or have we all collectively agreed that consoles need to be placed on something now?

I believe our TV was on the floor as well. They were massive back then. VCR went on top.

I want to say that consoles with discs were where I started thinking that I shouldn’t put them on the floor… but I still might have until the PS2, I can’t remember exactly.

For me it was a combination of: me getting older (and having something to put a console in/on), consoles existing that took up less space (the PS2 could be vertical, for example), optical drives potentially being more sensitive to dust, and the consoles having more fans.

There’s more factors to it than I expected when I started writing this, haha. That generation of NES was like a tank for me too, the only thing that ever had problems were the contacts to connect to the cartridge. Everything else worked like a charm until I finally had to get rid of the thing.
