Women want him, men want to be him.

I was never this rad, but there is always hope.

Man, I remember unwrapping the NES my parents got me for my birthday. I had three whole games. Duck hunt, Top gun, Mario. That was a nice hit of nostalgia.

Trying to land on the carrier in Top Gun brings back a hit of trauma.

Speed up, left, left, speed down, right, right. Plop

12 year old me is so mad right now.

@QuincyPeck I thought I was the only one!!

We begged my dad to get us a Nintendo for Christmas. He's like I think we should get a VCR.

Christmas morning we unwrap a VCR box, with a Nintendo box inside it.

Of course I think I probably cried before my dad pulled the Nintendo out.

Zelda was my favorite. Ten year old me played it so much I did the first quest with one life (which I think meant a single sitting as I don't remember it having a save and exit option outside of dying).

But, never beat the second quest!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can save and quit in Zelda, it just takes 2 controllers. You had to pause with controller 1 then hit Up+A on controller 2.

You would have saved ten year old me a lot of arguments with my dad lol

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

That's the real reason people bought Nintendo Power

What game is he playing? Is that Chip n Dale?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yes it is. I put so many hours into that game as a kid into my teens trying to beat it.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

I beat it hundreds of times as a teenager. Never played Chip&Dale, though.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It was a tough game.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think it might be.
I hated the last level in that game.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

But it had the bestest music!

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Would love to see what this guy looks like nowadays and how his life turned out, maybe get him to recreate this iconic photo

This picture was the end game for 80s babies. A Duck Tales poster would really tie my room together.

I remember telling my dad that I wanted an NES. He was like “we got NES at home.” Get home to a Bally Astrocade. Looking back that was cool as fuck. I miss that thing. But man was I pissed back then.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Kind of looks like a dollar store Zack Morris.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

More like a wish zack morris

That boy’s mother is working 2 jobs to feed her kids and protect them from the horrors of the world. What an innocent time

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Wow! I completely forgot that I had model jets hanging from my bedroom ceiling as a kid until I saw this picture right now.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

hell yeah man

so sick

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

It's a Capcom ad that ran in Nintendo Power - hence the Capcom hat, him playing Chip 'n Dale, the multiple copies of Strider on his cubicle-ass looking desk setup.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Race cars, lasers, aeroplanes, it's a, duck-blur!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Pretty sick, eh?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I had a hat that exact same shade of radioactive back then. No badass mullet, though...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Weren’t those the people working at the Nintendo hotline?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Fleshlight technology has certainly improved. They are much smaller now and come in colors other than yellow
