Van Halen Mirror - from Seaside Heights, NJ 1983

Van Halen Mirror

Boardwalk Prize from Seaside Heights, NJ

circa - Summer of '83

purchased for $1

I feel like the crappy prizes at the boardwalk used to be soooo much better. Personally, I would have opted for the Bon Jovi mirror, but I guess Van Halen could hang with Jon Bon. That lion jumping through the logo is badass. Oh man I can still see the bright pink fringed "Seaside Heights" shirts and cutoff jean shorts.

Invader From Space - Electronic Game

Enoch's Invader From Space

Electronic Game

Circa 1980

Purchased for $10

This game is basically a complete rip-off of Space Invaders. It's like creating a game called "Brothers Whose Names Are Mario". But it is still pretty cool, and super fun. The color screen and game sounds are top-notch...for 1980.
