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.
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.
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.

Trying to land on the carrier in Top Gun brings back a hit of trauma.

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.

That's the real reason people bought Nintendo Power

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

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

What game is he playing? Is that Chip n Dale?
wazzupdog@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 2y
Yes it is. I put so many hours into that game as a kid into my teens trying to beat it.
clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works · 12 pts · 2y
I beat it hundreds of times as a teenager. Never played Chip&Dale, though.
Ibex0@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
It was a tough game.
WarmSoda@lemm.ee · 11 pts · 2y
I think it might be.
I hated the last level in that game.

This picture was the end game for 80s babies. A Duck Tales poster would really tie my room together.

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