childhood

Bowl of cereal with juice box... He-Man figures... sitting on the floor staring up at horribly unhealthy angle... this is great.

@justabaldguy Agreed. Also, Star Wars figures, Rubik's Cube, and what I think are trading cards in front of the bookcase. It's taking me right back to the summer before junior high. I spent most of it playing Mario & Zelda, just about that distance from the television. :)

I was 13 when the NES came out so it was a bit different.

@instantenemy I was around 10 when the NES was released, but the system was out for a while by the time I got one. Our first system was an Atari 2600… I think I was just about to turn 3. My brother and I go that one as a joint christmas gift, but the NES was all mine, since he was away at college.

All we did through middle school/high school was play the NES.

but why is he just starting at 1-1 that late???

@travis Haha! I stayed up all night during the summer when I was that age. My parents were asleep, so they had no idea. Though, it could be a basement family room too.

@fouronenone yeah, actually, I suppose it could be really early in the morning too
