HistoryPhotos is for photographs (or, if it can be found, film) of the past, recent or distant! Give us a little snapshot of history!

Rules

Be respectful and inclusive.
No harassment, hate speech, or trolling.
Foster a continuous learning environment.
No genocide or atrocity denialism.

Looks like some PS2 and Wii games, too. A time-traveler who clearly knows when console gaming peaked.

Pre-recorded reel-to-reel tapes (and 8mm movies) were packaged in thin cardboard boxes like those. My grandfather had a few.

Maybe you were joking. Sorry.

Edit: In fact if you search Ebay for "reel to reel album" there are tons of listings with pictures.
