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.

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.

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

The good OL’ days!

I’d play that and then watch the A-Team!

I was on the Master System Generation when I started gaming however my older relatives had working Atari 2600's which I played all the time too. Tank Battle, 3D tank wars, Basketball, space invaders, missile command, pong. Fun times.

Not exactly on topic, but who remembers Jurassic Park on NES and having your mind blown that you could be the guy or a raptor. I still marvel at that in my memory. That and how the fucking Duck Hunt gun worked.

lol, some games were made only to fuck with your mind.

That light gun did the trick on me for sure. A very fond memory of deep wonder and curiosity.

I figured it out quickly when I saw the white squares replacing targets when you pulled the trigger.

I still remember the sound it made when you swung on the rope

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...
