….in This Underground Bunker

"Mike Mika is a video game developer, so naturally he has a passion for video games. He modded Donkey Kong once so his young daughter could play as Pauline instead of just watching her flail as a damsel in distress. His first major paycheck went towards one of those Star Wars gaming cabinets from the ‘80s where you flew around in a X-Wing. But that wasn't the first or last video game he owned.

Mika has thousands of games and nearly every console ever made, and he keeps them all in a bunker that can only be accessed via a ladder hidden in a bedroom closet. There's everything from an original Pong machine like you would've found in an arcade in 1975 to a copy of Half-Life for the Dreamcast that was never actually released…."

Well I highly doubt that copy of HalfLife is from 1975

In the summer, for game day, after the tabletops and the board games, we will get the big screen out for the backyard after it gets dark, fire up the Atari 2600 and the projector, and play giant Pong.

Poor Mike has never left his basement bunker, as he's still trying to beat that recalled ET game…

Aww, man, that's where I dropped it! I was time traveling next Friday in 1975, I was in a hurry to meet a friend to see the opening of Jaws. I banged into some guy and dropped my back-pack, had my laptop, cellphone, everything. The guy helped pick the stuff up, but can you believe the b*!@&d stole my computer!?! What was that guys name…Steve…Works? Jobs?

Oh … ! I thought this was a thread about they found some videos on an episode of Ancient Aliens in an Egyptian Pyramid or temple ruins or something …
