Women want him, men want to be him.

[-] cloudy1999@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 years ago

I was never this rad, but there is always hope.

[-] Naja_Kaouthia@lemmy.world 25 points 3 years ago

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.

[-] QuincyPeck@lemmy.world 21 points 3 years ago

Trying to land on the carrier in Top Gun brings back a hit of trauma.

[-] yads@lemmy.ca 10 points 3 years ago

Speed up, left, left, speed down, right, right. Plop

[-] thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 3 years ago

Triggered.....

[-] QuincyPeck@lemmy.world 3 points 3 years ago

12 year old me is so mad right now.

[-] TPushic@pgh.social 3 points 3 years ago

@QuincyPeck I thought I was the only one!!

[-] cyborganism@lemmy.ca 21 points 3 years ago

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

[-] wazzupdog@lemmy.world 12 points 3 years ago

Yes it is. I put so many hours into that game as a kid into my teens trying to beat it.

[-] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 12 points 3 years ago

I beat it hundreds of times as a teenager. Never played Chip&Dale, though.

[-] Ibex0@lemmy.world 2 points 3 years ago

It was a tough game.

[-] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 11 points 3 years ago

I think it might be.
I hated the last level in that game.

[-] chellomere@lemmy.world 8 points 3 years ago

But it had the bestest music!

[-] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 16 points 3 years ago

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.

[-] Jabbawacky@feddit.uk 12 points 3 years ago

Kid looked just like pat sharp

[-] Swarfega@lemm.ee 5 points 3 years ago

I grew up watching fun house. Them twins 😍

What a half-arsed thumbs-up.

[-] MuhammadJesusGaySex@lemmy.world 8 points 3 years ago

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.

[-] its_the_new_style@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 years ago

Kind of looks like a dollar store Zack Morris.

[-] instamat@lemmy.world 2 points 3 years ago

More like a wish zack morris

[-] NerdyPopRocks@lemmy.world 7 points 3 years ago

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

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 6 points 3 years ago

Wow! I completely forgot that I had model jets hanging from my bedroom ceiling as a kid until I saw this picture right now.

[-] Comment105@lemm.ee 5 points 3 years ago

[-] APassenger@lemmy.world 5 points 3 years ago

Race cars, lasers, aeroplanes, it's a, duck-blur!

[-] kamen@lemmy.world 5 points 3 years ago* (last edited 3 years ago)

My neck hurts just by looking at this picture.

[-] rivingtondown@lemmy.world 5 points 3 years ago

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.

[-] Smoogs@lemmy.world 4 points 3 years ago* (last edited 3 years ago)

Acid wash jeans wow….ppl wore this stuff for real

[-] Ibex0@lemmy.world 3 points 3 years ago

Pretty sick, eh?

[-] azurefirefly@lemmy.basedcount.com 4 points 3 years ago

He's so cool

[-] xyzzy@lemm.ee 3 points 3 years ago* (last edited 3 years ago)

I had a hat that exact same shade of radioactive back then. No badass mullet, though...

[-] fuggadihere@lemmy.world 2 points 3 years ago

Weren’t those the people working at the Nintendo hotline?

[-] Deceptichum@kbin.social 1 points 3 years ago

Oh you want to enjoy the full cover art on your wall? . . . Yeah, nah.
