Tiger games... man did those things suck

They sure looked badass, but it doesn't get much worse than one of those

 

[Skiman]

Hours and hours of entertainment, man I played those for hours.

 

[Balsquat]

Hours and hours of entertainment, man I played those for hours.

yea right
Hours and hours.....That would have killed you in batteries. What did they take, like 10 D batteries each

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

I had the double dragon game

 

[The Craw]

we used to play those when we went on bus field trips in elementary school. we'd just play for a while and then pass them around.

 

[galactiboy]

I once knew a kid who didn't have a NES... but every time he saw his grandma she would give him $20 and he'd buy one of these damn games. He had at least 20 Tiger games.

I always wondered why he wouldn't just try and save up that money and buy a NES rather than keep getting those crappy games.

 

[foolkiller]

More like 70-80. Born in 85 would be 2 years after Return of the Jedi was released. Most of the movies you mentioned came before 85. Those kids would have been babies then. All and all a good retrospective on your part.

 

[Voorhees27]

I had the double dragon game

____ that game was DAMN fun!

 

[jinxx]

I had a brick game. That's from the late 80's....right?

 

[kobayashi93]

I loved this thing. I played it till my fingers bled.

It looks like it pre-dates me by 8 years. Must have been my dad's or something.

 

[dwing]

We still play it at work-awesome.

 

[devilof76]

I missed an awesome childhood by one year (born in 74).

To hell with that. Everyone knows '74 was the greatest.

 

[Bodie The Cursed]

born in 72 you dumb kids

 

[DCM81]

Born in 81. Definately noticed the huge leaps and bounds that technology has taken. I'm a big gamer and used to love the old stuff.....as it was still new, but I can't play the old stuff anymore as it's just such a huge difference to modern stuff. We always wanted better and better graphics. Well we've got em now so why go back?

On a more serious note - I get the impression that a lot of kids nowadays hardly get out of the house anymore or have real friends cause they have it all online. It seems that a large portion don't really live in the real world anymore!

And is it just me or are the kids getting more brutal and violent with each generation?
When I was in school and had a fight it was an unspoken rule that once the other guy's down it's over. Kids today will stomp on your head beyond the point of recognition! And then they'll film it with ther phones and brag and show it around. Same kind of story with bullies - they'd stick your head in the toilet, give you a wedgie, dead-arm/leg - but now they'll beat the living ____ out of you and (once again) film it to share and brag about.

 

[Skiman]

Hours and hours.....That would have killed you in batteries. What did they take, like 10 D batteries each

Nope I had this baseball tiger game that had like 16 double A's

Word to urrrrrrrrrrr motha, u thought u knew!!!!

 

[Skiman]

____ that game was DAMN fun!

When that came out for NES, I saved $55 to get that mutha and I played it religiously, no more trips to 7-11 and cashing in $10 worth of quarters.

 

[Darth Waller]

I was born in 1968 and experienced all that ____.

 

[Kai]

remember back in the day when you wanted satellite TV you had to have one of these babies in your backyard?

We still have one We no longer use it though. I remember seeing lots of xrated material thanks to that haha. Even when my parents blocked it, there was still a way around it, kind of. You flip back and forth between that channel and another and get like 1 seconds worth of action each time. We also took the box to this guy down the street every time the channels got scrambled. I never got out of the car because I remember he had a small gator in his pool

If I could, I would relive my childhood without even changing a thing.


*** OH YEA. Who could forget Willy Wonka!?
