I would pay good money to time travel back to 1980's for a week.
- Thread starter vicemikey
- Start date
I would go back there and visit if I had the chance...
However if I died and could come back, I would pick the 1950's!
Cars were cooler! Life was simpler then and good times all around. Yeah!
The 1950's is the sh!t!

I was born in '73, so I remember the 80s quite well.
The arcades were like stepping into another world. The stresses of life (schoolwork, bullies, nagging parents) just melted away when you were surrounded by lit marquees and flashing pixilated sprites dancing on video game monitors all around.
And if you couldn't get to an arcade, you'd still find games at the local grocery store, convenience mart, restaurant, ice cream parlor, laundromat. They were everywhere. Even my dentist's office had a cocktail Burgertime!
I also have a fondness for the 90s, as I had a drivers license and my own disposal income by then. Didn't have to wait for the family to take me to an arcade, I could go there myself, by God! I used to hit every arcade in a 20 mile radius some days, interspersed with checking out thrift stores for Atari and Colecovision games. Good times indeed.

I would give up EVERYTHING that I have to be able to go back to the 1980's. The only catch is that I would have to be able to take my iPhone and a charger. I would be sure to load it with videos of where everything went wrong since 1989 and change the course of history. I would show up at the White House guard shack and say; "you see this device? I am from the future. I have to speak with the President immediately..." I wouldn't worry about money, because knowing what I know now, it would be a breeze to "make it" all over again from scratch...

I think Kyle summed it up pretty well.... I'll also add the fact remember when you went to the movies because their was a GOOD movies about every month. Nowadays you'll be lucky to find one a year....
Man, aren't you familiar with Hollywood's version of "What not to do?"
You would destroy space/time fabric, you might start becoming invisible... (Ok, I guess not, since your parents had already had you... But, still.)
And if they believed you you would be thrown into a cell somewhere and you would never see the light of day again.
No, much better to just lay low, get a part time job, gamble but never win really big (you did dump the sports scores to your iPhone, right?), buy several of each classic games NIB with some of your winnings, buy stocks to become legitimately wealthy (you did dump the Stock Market reports to your iPhone, right?), and have a nice comfy life until KLOV comes online. Then you start posting your unbelievable collection.

Go back in time. Buy every Kenner toy you can find, bring them to the present, and profit.
I think I would spend less time in the arcades this time around...
