Video Games - Childhood Nostalgia

[JT@623]

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

BB gun fights were the best until the crossman pump model came out

Oh we played outside plenty too. As mentioned BB guns, rock fights, built many forts with scrap would we got at local construction sites. The best were shingle fights. Had a neighbor who put a new roof on so we figured out that if we broke the old shingles into sizes about 3x3" we had "ninja" stars. All fun and tons of fiberglass in our hands....haha. Also played Tony Hawk pro skater for real before the game came out...haha. The 80's and 90's were awesome. Definitely relate more to Gen X than Millennial

This
Getting hit with one of those, even with just one pump, started the fist fight

Super smash bros on the N64 was the best

Crash Bandicoot

2 and 3 were the best! LAN parties and Xbox Live haha

We might have to start a Wayalife Halo League I’ll still play a bit of Halo when I’m bored. I bought the Master Chief collection years ago and love it.

This thread brings back memories. I had Atari and Nintendo early on. I remember Duck Hunt and Mario. Currently have a Switch for the family. I still play some old games but I was able to get GTA Vice City for it.

Growing we had arcades that only charged a qtr. Best was galaga and Mrs Pac-Man.

Dad made it clear BB gun wars were strictly verboten and the consequences of such would be severe.

When our cousins shot me and my brother to start a BB gun war, we gunned them down without mercy and inflicted maximum hate and pain until they fled the battlefield.

Our cousins were shocked and furious because we violated all of the BB Gun Wars Rules Of Engagement, but we didn’t care. If we were going to get into trouble with Dad over this, we made sure it would be worth it.

Sadly but not my parents never bought me video games. I either played outside, watched TV or hung out with family. Only video games I played was at friends. Mainly black ops and that was in Jr. high and high school. Never really had an interest though because I didn’t grow up playing it. Would much rather do other things.

Started and ended with the original Halo at a friends house. Didn’t like video games very much, that and my parents said I could buy my own video game system if I wanted one so I didn’t want to spend the money on one.

That Crossman 760 Powermaster would embed a BB in your opponent!
