Video Games - Childhood Nostalgia

[Disciple Off Road]

Growing up, we all played video games at some point or another that have engrained memories and nostalgia for us to last a lifetime. I was talking with @GrizzlyChadams about the good ol days of playing Nintendo games which got us talking about our favorites and the good memories we had with them with friends and family.

Turns out, we came across this website that offers all kinds of old school Atari, SEGA, NES, Super Nintendo and N64 games that you can play on your desktop computer or phone to bring back all of the old childhood memories! Check it out!

As you are most likely playing on PC, you can refer to the screen shots to change your "controller" buttons to whatever you want on your keyboard. Once you are in a game, select the following and make your changes. From what I can tell, these changes are automatically applied to all of the games you select after!

Only game that’s ever stuck with me is Halo. Is that old enough? (2001 to 2010 Combat Evolved to Reach.)

Pong was the first and last game I ever played.

Yeah growing up the video games we played were all called outside.

I have a handheld emulator called an Ambernic that is about the size of an old PSP that has ~4000 games that came on everything from an Atari to a PS2. I bring it with me when I travel or go camping. It doesn't need internet and you can use it on a plane. Hardest thing is choosing what games to play. Lately it has been Super Mario 3, F Zero, and the original Final Fantasy.

Lol - all this

Trying to remember the different moves on the controllers cured me of the modern games - too much damn work

 

[AZVAJKU]

Definitely!

In the rare chance I did happen to have a couple of quarters I spent them on a slushy or $.10 tacos

If we wanted action we threw rocks at each other or jumped our bikes off of shit because it was more cost effective

Edit because I forgot: #BANDFAGS
