1. Showbiz Pizza Screw Chuck E. Cheese! In my youth it was all about Billy Bob the Bear and the kick ass animatronic band *The Rock-afire Explosion convincing my young mind that if you had pizza and game tickets, all was right with the world (and that there was definitely not pee in the ball room). *Now THAT is a band name.

Just me?), Q-Bert, and Donkey Kong on my parent’s bed and knowing that in fact, the future was NOW. This system looks so lovably rinky-dink in this day and age but to a kid in the 80s, it couldn’t be beat. Image Credit: Video Game Gazette 5. Firefly There are no jokes to be made here, nor any explanation needed. It had to be said. Now if you need me, you can find me weeping in a pile on the floor for the rest of the...
