Jump back into the world of beasts in Cassette Beasts 2002, coming to Xbox Series S | X, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC! A follow-up to the critica...
I still gave my trusty cassette player from back then. Still works great, and sound is quite good for something that old.
Well, it has some features you don’t see anymore on “modern” cassettes players (DTS, Dolby, things like that), all in a miniaturized and portable case.
Yeah but they skipped like fuckin crazy if you breathed on em wrong unless you shelled out extra for one with skip protection. Haven’t thought about skipping CDs in twenty years.
The original Cassette Beasts was set in a land outside of space and time with many people coming from the modern days, sci-fi futures, or even medieval fairytales
That I don’t remember getting until about 06. But the coolest thing about the one I got, it had two parts. The first part was the main body where you put your headphones jack. The second part connected to the first with a standard USB port, and that was where the flash storage was. So it was basically a bog standard USB drive, you plug it into your computer, load MP3s on it, and plug it back into the player. If a whole 64 MEGABYTES wasn’t enough for you, you could just carry multiple sticks. Genius design, wish I still had that thing.
I found my old Sony Walkman a year or so ago, lurking in a box in my mum’s garage. It was one of the ones that had a radio built in too, loved that thing way back.
i have to date myself so fucking hard, but we had portable cd players in 02.
And cd burners too.
memorex CD+R/W’s my beloved
Yeah but cassettes were still around. Unless you had mini CDs, cassettes were the way to go if you wanted music in your pocket.

Well we all skipped CDs in the end anyway hahaha
I got a MiniDisk player bqck then. Casettes were oldschool in 2002 lol.
Yeah by then CD players were the norm.

I had my first portable mp3 player by that year.

Oh hell yeah, found a picture online. Before the iPod, this was considered chic.
Nice! Mine was the RCA Lyra RD1080.
128 MB, and that control stick crapped out quickly.
Haters gonna hate, but that’s peak early 2000s aesthetic right there.
Absolutely, I loved it at the time.
I hate it lol… Looks like a fucking tamogachi
I used to record songs off the radio with that. Very inefficient but it worked.
I still have mine. It has an FM receiver and runs off a AAA battery, so it’s handy for listening to the radio for updates during a big power outage.
