Before online lobbies.
Before crossplay.
Before everyone got along.

There was the war.

This shirt keeps it simple with a bold chest graphic and the line:
“I Survived The Console Wars”

Two systems. One explosion. Sega vs Nintendo.
Commercials took shots. Magazines fueled the fire.
Playgrounds turned into battlegrounds.
You didn’t “enjoy both.”
You chose a side.

It wasn’t polite.
It wasn’t unified.
It was loyalty.

A straightforward design for those who remember defending their console like it mattered, because at the time, it absolutely did.

If you were there for the rivalry, the arguments, and the 16-bit arms race, this shirt is your proof of survival.
