80s mall rat here.

What a time to be alive. The music, the movies, the hair, the fear of being vaporized by the USSR any given second.

God I miss late 80's early 90's mall weekends. Arcades, comic book shops, kick arse book and music stores, toy stores. Good times.

There was a guy at Babbages in Cortana I used to go to and give him $5 and he would sell games to me days, sometimes 2 weeks early

Anyways, there was one dude that worked in the arcade at the Mall of Memphis... he caught you doing that and he'd make you quit the game. 

I spent some time there in my youth, saw Return of the Jedi at that mall. I was more of a Hickory Ridge kid though, coming from Germantown...that was around the mid 80's...sigh....

The truth of the matter, and it's hard for many to accept, is that our culture is currently in a depression and has been for at least 20 years.

So all these posters talking about how much better it was back in the day are right.

Americans were freer, happier, and fitter in prior eras.

There will eventually be a renaissance. It won't be coming soon. We must first go through an immense amount of pain. There will probably be a global war in the next 10 years. It has been coming for a while. The coronavirus might have accelerated its onset.

We all thought the internet and technology were going to enhance our lives but the exact opposite has happened. I type that with sadness because I was a very early adopter of computers and technology and believed in the life changing effects it could bring. And even though I'm old now I can still run circles around the vast, vast majority of people when it comes to technology, so I'm not just some curmudgeon who doesn't understand the technology of today. But now I honestly wish we could go back to simpler times.



True. And that cause of this decline is because of the rise of leftist/progressive dogma pushed on youth by an education system bastardized and turned into political indoctrination camps.

On the first or second screen, kill everything except the two blue/yellow aliens in the far left columnn. Let those two circle and fire at you. Dodge bullets for about fifteen minutes. Once they come down three times in a row without firing at you, blast them on the third cycle. For the remainder of the game, no aliens will fire at you.


Holy shite, that actually works YouTube

When this corona bullshite ends, I'm taking my daughter to Laser Tag and trying this out.
