The sound of the 80's was a non-stop musical score that played over and over again, leaving you with a bad taste in your mouth.
Unlike the game which did not go on forever the music did. Although the games seem to go on forever it was just the music playing on in your head,
something like an endless piano music scores that just went on forever. Such games as Mario bros. Donkey Kong and Pac-man had this kind of music.
Christmas was a welcome time For Nintendo games in the 80's, what would be the next game to play around the TV set? Who would beat the next High score?
All these and many more questions could be answered the next time you played making every meeting exciting to the very end.
Where ever you when they went coin operated games would be there and so were the games that Nintendo made, leaving a lasting impression.
There were fads that went with Nintendo such as wearing your pants backwards like the group Kris-Cross.
Ice-Ice baby by Vanilla Ice, White guys trying to break into the Afro-American rap songs. Songs come and go; they had the one hit numbers.
Remixes came about in the late 80's making Nintendo games even more popular; big hair band such as Dixie-mid night runners made Nintendo what it is today.
There was time when there were no video games like the ones in the 80's. There was game's such as board games like chess and checkers.
Video games like Donkey Kong and Galaxy fighters were next fad to make money and profit with video game magazines. The magazines promote video games secret
tricks and walkthroughs and advertised the Video game companies such as Nintendo and Atari. Coin Operated video games became very popular to the market
audience and this lead to Nintendo's systems at home and trading of video game cartridges became very much the in thing to do.
Collecting and trading was a big thing in the 80's. It gave people a purpose in life; collect video games and music,
Trade the games and music when you got board of them. The rock bands such as Rough Trade came out in the eighties with, 'High school confidential'
and Loverboy with, 'The kid is hot tonite'. This lead to roller skating and arcades with coin operated machines which were so popular during the 80's.
Teenagers had a purpose in life collect and trade. Whoever had the biggest collection of games and music would win. Game developers and record companies
loved every minute of it. As long as there were kids and teenagers the 80's would profit the companies. It was a dream comes true; money flowed, profit soared.
It did not matter that the games were cheeses, only that they were selling the merchandise like gangbusters.
Now that people had a purpose it made life seem complete. Collect the latest and newest video games and records;
Trade with friends and neighbors. Collect and trade like there was no tomorrow because you may die. It was like the drug of the 80's you just could not get enough
of the latest video games. As peoples collections grew they just could not get enough, they had to have more video games and the highest records of scores.
The music industries forced the video game fads through the roof. Where ever there were video games there was music pushing the sales of both hand and hand.
Just as sure as there is a God there would be a new video game or song. Logging Off SWM......
