    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.

      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!

        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.

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

          You could save and quit when you died. So to beat the game with one life, you had to do it in one sitting.

          Or know the controller two trick someone posted. But I didn’t know that.

          I think Zelda actually was the first game you could save.

          Metroid used a code.

            I think Kid Icarus used a code. Which is crazy because that would have had to encode a ton of inventory items.

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

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

    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.

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