Was playing a bit of Stunt Car Racer for the Amiga this week, from 1989, and wondered how far back people are going!

Has no one here played Super Mario Bros? 1985… or donkey Kong? 1981. Pac-Man? 1980. Space invaders? 1978. So many classics, all playable today with MAME or even still working systems or perfect emulation!

In 2024? No.

I definitely played SMB this year. I may have played Pac-Man.

But I also played mancala which is 8,000 years old.

I'm moving house this week and unearthed my galaxy invader 1000 handheld. Had to play a couple rounds on the spot! Apparently from 1980.

I've been messing with SMB 1, 3, and World hacks lately

Pssshhhh!!!! Only because you have good taste!

I see you all over lol. If you like retro games and professional wrestling you're ok in my book

Well if you're ever in Cleveland, then we can have a beer......or 20.

If I ever visit my dad in Ohio I might have to track you down. Haven't tasted alcohol in over 10 years (for good reason) but I'll smoke out. I appreciate the sentiment regardless, and I enjoy seeing you and your stories all over the place
