I grew up playing the 8 and 16 bit games of Nintendo
Fuck dude, those were simpler days, weren't they? No worrying about latest video cards and processors and stuff... we just had to stick a tape in the fun.
In the non-digital world I work in transportation. for a Class 1 Freight Railroad.
Interesting profession. I've always been curious about those machines, since my grandad worked as a station chief back in the glorious days 50's
Welcome aboard, you and Charlie!
Yeah, they don't make them like they used to. Don't get me wrong, I do love the current crop of games, but there's just something about the classics that always pulls me back.
Yeah the engines are impressive. My duties keep me in the terminal/ yard so I rarely get to ride in them except for some company events but even driving through the yard you realize how massive and powerful they are when you only a few feet from them.
Thanks for the interest!
