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.

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.

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

I think it might be.
I hated the last level in that game.

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.

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

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

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.

I had a hat that exact same shade of radioactive back then. No badass mullet, though...

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