Gold Plated Childhood
Pitfall.
One man.
Never died.
Every time.
I spent way too much time on this as a child.
And this gold plated 2600 is amazing…
If you could have one thing gold plated from your childhood…
What would it be?

RAIN IT DOWN
Gold plated Big Trak. That thing pwned all other toys.
my bike. but then it’d be kinda heavy and slow me down. i was the fastest on the block. i’d've done it just to rub it in their stupid faces! (i wasn’t a very nice kid)
my first hockey stick
I still have my Big Track (with dump trailer) sitting in the attic…. I loved that thing.
Pitfall was the bomb, I can still remember the sound of the little dude swinging on the vines. I worked and worked to get some high score. If you took a picture of it and sent it in you could join the fan club or something. Now I don’t remember….
My Star Wars action figures. All except C3PO. He was all ready kinda gold-plated.
When I clicked on your tweet to this article I was already thinking, “I know what i will say! My Nintendo!” the original
Baby. Then I saw the pic here. Legit.
It’d defintely be my Grimlock T-Rex Autobot action figure that shot real sparks out of it. Why were the Dinobots so stupid?
my game boy.
My dad’s old-school Apple computer. We played games on legit floppy disks, and the screen only had different shades of green. When I was a little older, my brother jacked the monitor to watch TV. TV looks trippy when it’s entirely in green.
my grandpa bud and i spent a lot of time in his workshop. i had a favorite hammer and a pair of pliers. they were lost when he passed away. i would love to have those two things.
My next door neighbor, Eric. He was a real bully.
*snort* LOL
My Socrates. I *loved* that game! (If you don’t know what it is…think 1980s clickstart or leapster.)
Early years, my record player and all those 33s and 45s.
Then later my little pink boom box cassette player, from which I recorded all my favorite songs from the radio… hours waiting for Craig O’Neil to play whatever was my favorite song of the week.
Not one thing.
Dude! Totally awesome! Brings back a lot of memories. thanks for sharing…….
oh yeah, and I would have gold-plated transformers, especially OP baby!
My bike with the banana seat and the chopper handle bars. How could would that be?
It would have to be my white Beatles Go Go boots. I loved those boots. I was a big Beatles fan. My father refused to buy them for me so I got a job just to buy them.
My series one Optimus Prime. Loved that thing.
Legos! I guess I need to build a rad castle, and gold plate that bad boi
It took me a while to think of something worthy of gold until this morning when I heard organ music and I knew exactly what I would cast in gold. My grandma used to play organ all the time. When our family would come over my grandma would play organ while my grandpa played violin and the rest of us would sing. The sound of the organ brings me back to the comfort of sharing time with my grandparents. I would love to gold plate those memories!
My She-Ra castle.
Hmmm…. I would have to say either my Gameboy or my Razor Scooter.
I say my Gameboy because literally hours apon hours turning into days I played that thing. It had plenty of scratches and dents when it was all over. It deserved to be golden.
I say my Razor Scooter because I went through the “skater” phase. Yes I wanted to be a skater kid. But, because I was lame, I didn’t have a legit skateboard. So that thing came with me to the skateparks. How lame was I. Over time my Razor Scooter rusted. It also deserved to be gold plated.
One of the two works!
My series one Megatron. When it turns into the Walther P38, that would the most blinged out piece on the street.
ATARI!! WOW – Big time playing River Raid, Enduro.. It’s hard to name just one gold plated I could have right now, but.. I loved to bycicle.
Carlos, my husband wants to know if you play games online, if so, can you tweet him your usernames for each system so you can be friends? @uteldar
Thanks!
