Remember when the internet didn't exist? (at least at the level where we have it now.)

When we actually HAD to read game magazines to know what in the hell was actually coming out? or better yet, for advice, (and MAPS even) to actually beat the games we were stuck on?

How about the word Mondo? Primo? Boss? Word Up, even?

How about prismacolor T-shirts?

1988 was a scary fucking time, i tell you. Even after The Wizard came out. I still have my VHS copy somewhere around here.

Happy 50th page to me, BTW. (Even though this is comic is technically #42….and discounting filler/fan-art pages, this is actually page #47….)

(P.S. - if time travelling me ever DID send this page back to third-grader me, i think a time paradox would ensue from the brain damage occurred, from me shitting my pants with rocket propulsion through the roof, as a result of seeing that future me was 'REALLY DESIGNING VIDEO GAMES!')
