My mini-arcade version of Zaxxon.
Every so often, I’ll take a picture of something from my past. Something that brings back great memories of my younger years. I’ll always file these under Retro Stuff of Awesomeness.
Before you could play a game of Pac-Man on your iphone, many of has to have carry around bigger forms of entertainment that didn’t have all the fancy schmancy options of today’s cool gadgets. Here’s my mini-arcade version of Zaxxon. A side-scrolling spaceship shooter that was a fun part of my pre-teen years. Video games were a big part of my life growing up. I had every generation of console game system from a Sears Pong System to the Atari 2600. I was the first kid on the block to have an original Nintendo. I’ve had a Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, Gamecube, XBox, PS2 and XBox 360. Despite all the stuff people say about video games rotting the brains of the young, I can safely say that I turned out okay.
