the classical throwbacks that the young heads wouldn't understand thread

I know one of y'all that came up in the 70's and 80's had one of these or knew someone with one.

^^^ My aunt still has her Atari 5200 and all the games she ever bought for it.

You know what's crazy. The average smartphone is more powerful than all those systems combined.

That ain't much of a stretch. An old 486DX2-66 or 100 can run emulators for all of those old systems. I had emulators for all of those back in '97 when I was running a Compaq Prolinea 4/66 desktop.

[blakfyahking]

man I had forgotten all about those Nick Jr shows like David the Gnome

that was my shit as a kid back in the day when shit was all innocent even tho it was crack infested 80s DC

I never saw the ending of that show.......and I thank all heaven and goodness that I didn't as a child

I never knew he died at the end......and Swift got some new pussy LOL

finally saw this shit and was like damn it was cold to be a kid in the 80s

no wonder these lil niggaz today are so damn soft haha

[illestni99ainne]

Wtf I didn't know that either. He friggin dies?!? Yeah I would've been no good if I woulda saw that as a shorty . That's almost as bad as when Optimus Prime died

 

[illestni99ainne]

maaan growing up me and my brother would be tryna go outside after the lights and shit were on and my dad would tell us shit like these mfs were out there waitin on us

 

[SneakDZA]

i gotta say this... the only Voltron i acknowledge is the one with the lions. The Voltron with the cars was like Go-bots to Transformers.

Also I can't be the only kid that ever begged for a Transformer for Christmas (preferably the Megatron that turned into a gun or the O.G. Optimus Prime with the chrome) and you got a goddamned Gobot and had to learn on the spot how to twist your face into the "I hate this but I'm gonna act like I love it" smile for the first of many times in life.

[gh0st]

All this was from when I had a side job at a Dillard's in a dead ass mall. only old people shopped there but they stayed having FUBU gear for some reason when it was that hot shit. Niggga I was racking up since the old customers didnt buy it they never had displays for it it and it was always tucked in the back; after employee discounts and some additional price "adjustments" I stayed looking like a Source ad from back in the day lol smh that shit looks so gaudy now

Aye but real spit I still got that Rudy shirt it was too dope for me to let go. SMH One day I'ma dig it out and rock it just to troll niggas. With my old man gut and all just to embarrass my kids.
