When I was 17 in the early ‘70’s I was praying that 50 cent per gallon gas would drop a little.

Jaylam Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 A few more tidbits from the scaremongers of the 70's. Didja ever think.... "meet the new boss, same as the old boss" ! A "no prize" to anyone who can guess what song that lyric in the quote comes from! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeahhh... everything signed before CGC is basically graffiti and worthless. WTB Signature series Kirby books... kav 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an aside, watching Stranger Things, it brought back memories of the arcades we would go to. My dorm in college had four or five arcade games on the bottom floor. That was in the early 80s. I forget what the games were - Galaga, Centipede, probably. But to be honest, I grew up with pinball machines at the bowling alley. We would ride our bikes or walk to the alley about a mile. Started before they had all the electronics and you could tilt quite a bit without it calling foul and five balls not three. Ah, great memories.

Another one after Duckhunt was Mike Tyson's punch out Gosh I'm trying to dig way back in my memory banks I think I remember my older cousin having an Atari in the mid eighties or something. It's a vague memory but it may have been DonkeyKong and or that E.T. game I would see the old cartridge covers laying around his room, Van Halen posters etc . Cuz was the king of cool s**t! Incidentally my comic obsession came from seeing a stack of his old comics ~ that time '86 87 with a beater ASM 83 on top and the rest was history...good times man!

I played the carp out of that at grandma's house you'd think the way I post that I had no good experiences at home hahaha But I'd get the dodge ball press a lot of buttons and whack some people in the head, my 10 year old mind thought that was awesome ha.
