Give Your Inner Child a Nostalgic Trip With These 31 Snapshots From The Past

I miss arcades! And I'm talking about those real 80s arcades, where you would just have video game cabinets, waiting for you to drop a quarter in and start playing. And as long as you were good, as long as you were winning - you could just keep playing on the same quarter. Me and my brother used to go every day after school to our local arcade and spend hours there, playing "After burner" "Double Dragon" Operation Wolf" and "Metal Slug". But our jam was "Golden Axe".

We got so good at Golden Axe that we would play all the way to the final boss on the same coin, while a group of kids would form around us, waiting for their turn but at the same time cheering on and shouting (useless) tips. Somehow I would always die at the last boss at least once. I don't know if he was really that hard or if I would just get nervous, But I was never able to complete the entire game on one coin.
