I found a picture of the raddest dude
(lemmy.sdf.org)
Women want him, men want to be him.
I was never this rad, but there is always hope.
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
Wait what?? You couldn’t save in Zelda? Didn’t it at least give you a code you could enter later?

What game is he playing? Is that Chip n Dale?
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.

I think it might be.
I hated the last level in that game.
But it had the bestest music!
Would love to see what this guy looks like nowadays and how his life turned out, maybe get him to recreate this iconic photo

Holy shit, it is him!
You guys are dicks, that link doesn’t load anything for me
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 😍
My mate got to be on the show, lucky git
What a half-arsed thumbs-up.
That's not Brent Rambo
Kind of looks like a dollar store Zack Morris.
More like a wish zack morris
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.
Race cars, lasers, aeroplanes, it's a, duck-blur!
hell yeah man
so sick
My neck hurts just by looking at this picture.
He's so cool
Acid wash jeans wow….ppl wore this stuff for real
Pretty sick, eh?
I had a hat that exact same shade of radioactive back then. No badass mullet, though...
Weren’t those the people working at the Nintendo hotline?
