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.
Speed up, left, left, speed down, right, right. Plop
Triggered.....
12 year old me is so mad right now.
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.
You would have saved ten year old me a lot of arguments with my dad lol
That's the real reason people bought Nintendo Power
Women want him, men want to be him.
I was never this rad, but there is always hope.
What game is he playing? Is that Chip n Dale?
I think it might be.
I hated the last level in that game.
But it had the bestest music!
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.
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.
Kid looked just like pat sharp
I grew up watching fun house. Them twins 😍

Holy shit, it is him!
You guys are dicks, that link doesn’t load anything for me
That's not Brent Rambo
What a half-arsed thumbs-up.
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.
Kind of looks like a dollar store Zack Morris.
More like a wish zack morris
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.
I had a hat that exact same shade of radioactive back then. No badass mullet, though...
He's so cool
Race cars, lasers, aeroplanes, it's a, duck-blur!
Fleshlight technology has certainly improved. They are much smaller now and come in colors other than yellow
Oh you want to enjoy the full cover art on your wall? . . . Yeah, nah.
