Kids born when the Rockets won their first championship are now high school seniors. Sorry youngins you missed a great time. Too bad it won't happen again anytime soon.
I was at a pub fiction a while ago and deer park had their 20year anniversary and then I realized in few years I would be having a ten year anniversary. Getting old sucks.
I know what it is like to go to the store to buy an atari cartridge. I remember paying 50 cents to play pole position at the arcade. Back in my time, Dragon's lair was revolutionary video game.
If you're old enough to buy a "new" Atari cartridge, you should know that pole position was a quarter.
I can't eat the things that i used to. I used to be able to eat bad things, spicy things, and not worry about it. Now if I eat it, I'm going to the can the next morning, and it sucks.
Oh and just to debunk you even further: http://www.starbacks.ca/~arcadeclassics/POLEPOSITION.html http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/archive/index.php/t-35042.html http://forums.arcade-museum.com/archive/index.php/t-21130.html Also, when Dragon's Lair came out, it actually cost .75 to play. But you would have had to been there and played the game the week it was released to know that. Like I was.
And Dragon's Lair was never 75 cents. How old are you? I can make this simple: What was the first voice pinball game? It was given its own room back then in all arcades. I'll bet 50 bucks you are too young to know it.
http://www.commonsensemedia.org/game-reviews/Dragons-Lair.html I can do this all day. Also, Pole Position came out in 1982, not 83. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pole_Position_%28video_game%29
I've been playing the Moble App version on the IPod Touch. It is just like I remembered the old arcade version being (when I was 12 and couldn't afford to plug 75 cents for the two scenes I was able to pass.
I hate that google allows you to pretend. I was there when Donkey kong jr., pole position sitdown, Punchout, excitebike, and ice climber were there. They all cost a quarter then, son.
hair growing out of your ears sitting down to take a crap..........and all the sudden, your balls touch the toilet water.
Here's a blast from the past... <iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/RQdgbs0IUDg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Listening to the radio and realizing I'm a legit target market for a mix station. The soreness in my back and legs after playing against much faster and much younger players at the rec. Finding someone and thinking I might actually want to spend my life with this person. Driving by the Summit and thinking what happened? Intentionally not finishing an order of fries because I actually know the consequences.
