Nostalgia
I am a gamer... it is a known fact that this drives the Mrs bonkers. She is not so much into video games... however she is cool enough to play co-op games with me and she will also watch me play an RPG as she is interested in the storyline.
I am a kid of the 80s as well and today... I saw this video and I sighed... ahhhh the long gone days of the classic arcade.
I would play Star Wars, Q-bert, Frogger, Space Invaders and then later it was Gauntlet and Contra. /sigh
