Imagine you could literally step inside an 80s video game for 24 hours. Graphics music characters and all. Which game are you picking to live in for a day?

Would you be dodging barrels with Mario flying through space in Galaga cruising in Out Run or jumping into a side scrolling world like Double Dragon?

No rules just fun. Pick your game and tell us what you would do first once you were in it.

My choice is The Goonies video game.
 
I would pick Dragon Warrior without question. The world of Alefgard is structured and predictable in a good way. Towns are spaced with intention, enemies get stronger the farther you go, and everything follows a clear progression. I never cared for randomness or open chaos. It is the kind of world you can measure and understand, which is exactly how I like things.
