I found a picture of the raddest dude

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
- @QuincyPeck I thought I was the only one!!
- 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.
- 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.
- It was a tough game.
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.

No power glove though...

God that thing was garbage
- Video game accessory: 1/10
  Fashion accessory: 10/10
- You mean its so bad?

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.

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.

Kind of looks like a dollar store Zack Morris.

More like a wish zack morris

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.

My neck hurts just by looking at this picture.

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

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.

hell yeah man

so sick

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

Pretty sick, eh?

He's so cool

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?

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

Fleshlight technology has certainly improved. They are much smaller now and come in colors other than yellow
