      To people like this kid, it might as well have been the 80’s. This was my childhood and kids call me old because I’m 40, so same difference to them if it was the decade I was born haha.

    This game is infamous among people in my generation haha. It’s odd hearing kids talk about it…I feel it’s another one of those “you had to have been there”. It doesn’t matter if a kid can pull up an emulated version, not the same as loading it up with your friend and both trying…and failing at even making it past the wildabeast portion.
