The 80s. Yeah I was young then, but the 80s style was just wonderful. The music was awesome. The TV shows were awesome. It was the beginning of video games. I loved my Atari 2600. Pac Man was great. Cartoons on Saturday morning.
I remember living in Virginia Beach and there was a 7-11 down the street. When they got Double Dragon in, they had a line of people waiting to play it. And then they got Gauntlet.
But my favorite thing about the 80s were the arcades. Yeah, they have arcades now, but they're rare and not as great as they used to be. I mean, in the 80's they were EVERYWHERE. I spent so much time at the arcades.
I actually think it might be a good idea to open a retro 80's arcade. Put all the old games in it. Play heavy metal over the speakers. I bet it would do well.
Never knew you lived in VA Beach.. I grew up in Norfolk, only just left there less than 2 years ago to move to NC.
So many of the same memories... *sigh*
I love you, bro!
