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

@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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Wait what?? You couldn’t save in Zelda? Didn’t it at least give you a code you could enter later?

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.

[–] clay_pidgin 11 points 1 year ago

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

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.

[–] its_the_new_style 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

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.

My neck hurts just by looking at this picture.

[–] [email protected] 4 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

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