This is bullshit.
I was there and we sure as fuck didn't use pussy ass filters until we were old enough to understand the health benefits.

Wouldn't this depend on your source? If you're raiding the parents' packs and they have filters so do you. Lots of wannabe badass underage friends smoking their mom's Virginia Slims in my time
My first smoke was one of my mom's Virginia Slims.
Just buy them from the vending machine.
and a swig of Maddog 20/20 was also in order. Or some Night Train Express if one of your buds was already in their 30s.
I have not-so-fond memories of pink grapefruit Maddog...
With MD 20/20 you either have shitty memories or none at all
I have ridden the Night Train. I have looked the Devil in the eye.
There are no health benefits to the filters, they only keep you from getting tobacco in your mouth.
Pssst, that was part of the joke. Don't tell anyone.
Mario Bros was the first souls-like
laughs in Contra
I think I also hear Castlevania and Ninja Gaiden laughing.
The Hyper Tunnel in NES Battletoads is laughing like The Joker
What was annoying about Ninja Gaiden was having to beat it twice to actually beat the game.
I almost used Contra instead lol

In my day we played like men!
Also me:
I could complete Robocop and Midnight Resistance though.
Well, there's your problem. You've plugged a Romantic Robot into the place where your Kempston joystick should be. Never going to win at Daley Thompson's without perfecting your waggle. Also, the Speccy will probably crash from hammering the keyboard if you try.
Midnight Resistance is one of those weird games where the first level is the hardest; it's not too bad to finish it if you do the first bit. Fair play on Robocop, though - that's a hard game.

And your little brother got peanut butter on the manual so your mom threw it away.
plays Tetris so hard it breaks
Super Mario Bros in the NES for me, the excitement if you reach a later level for the first time, only to die and have to try it al over again.
Totally not this 80s kid.
This was me after finishing Majora’s Mask 100%.
