This was such an epic post. It was like reliving my childhood again. We had so many similar things growing up, from karate instructors, to Chuck E Cheese parties, to the Turbo Graphix 16. You started a bit earlier than I did with the Atari and my dad was never into games. It was also my brothers that were the main gamers that I looked up to as a youngster. Man, the swag part really took me back too. There is too much awesomeness in this post to even comment on.

Man thanks! Hopefully this post is the GIFt that keeps on giving. hahahaha It was super cathartic to write too. I remember making my dad come and see UFC when we got it on a black friday and showing him how far games had come. He thought it was a real fight and didn't realize me and my buddy were duking it out on the game. Hahahaha i miss that old man. He was into Atari and the og arcade games but would never get down with more than one button and a joystick. Good thing too cause he probably would have whipped my ass in that too.
I am glad that this post was able to get your mind back into that old place and remembering things lost but not completely forgotten. Oh to be young again! We can always stay young if we hang on to those old memories. This was a blast to inspire community engagement and really add a lot of value to everybody participating and/or curating. Great initiative bro. Thanks for the love too... from one old school gamer to another.
