Good times. Then I got on my bike and was back home by dark for dinner.

Yep. Had to come home when street lights started coming on. BMX'ing all day.

Some years back on a trip up California I stopped at a post office to mail a check. I parked across the street and when I came out I saw I was next to some sweet jumps with perfect transitions.

I walked in and found the greatest box park that ever was, called ‘the post office’ and built by bmxers over time totally unorganized. Turns out x games even filmed there.

Sadly, I didn’t have a bike. Looking it up, some say you spend more time in the air then on the ground there. It was awesome. A local news report said it was going to have to be demolished due to liability even though the owner didn’t mind it being there.

I owned one of the first cMeras that took sphere photos and got one good one from the center of it.

The world is amazing if you take the time to look deeper sometimes.

Probably because you could go outside without being kidnapped or murdered.

A little too young for Pitfall, but growjng up with NES, SNES, Genesis, and 90's PC gaming wasn't too different lifestyle-wise.

Sorta but to start at the beginning is priceless. Tanks. Pong. Sega is worlds beyond the stuff I thought was cool in 1984

I loved pitfall, not sure if the game ever ended though. I also loved keystone capers

The goonies game on nes was pretty close, and also awesome.

It was good. Which one had the Cindy Lauper music? Was it Goonies? I don't remember.

Pretty sure cindy lauper was on the goonies movie, but i dont think it was on the video game.. 8 bit sound limitations ya know.

I can still hear it.

Me and my buddies played the shit out of Pitfall. Jungle Hunt was cool. I still remember my dads reaction to paying $60 for a game. The most special time for me in gaming was when NES came out. It changed everything. Mario was epic. I didn't have to burn tens of dollars in quarters anymore. The first Metal Gear game was special for the time. Smoking that cig for the first time in that game was epic. But there's one game that touched me. The level design was unlike anything before. The music was epic and I still get a haunting feeling when I hear it. NES: Metroid. Greatest game of all time.

Contra was my NES game, I beat the entire game 3 times on my first guy in a run.

Castlevania was where its at, dont be a faggot . Okay, contra was pretty sweet too.

I never owned it, played it decades later but wasn't hooked on the nostalgia so the original, nor the sequels, ever got their claws in me.

This was a long game for an atari 2600 game. I think it just loops over and over when you get to the end. Activision made the best Atari games.

Yes it was. Pitfall was awesome too!

Get yourself a raspberry pi and this.

Should have guessed.

I made one for my nieces too. Showed them combat one day and they were like 'this is dumb'. Fast forward an hour and they are not only still playing but arguing over who is going to be the big plane in 3 vs 1. (Some things never get old.)

1942, Contra, Double Dragon, Ninja Spirit, Shadow Dancer, Shinobi...
