I like the way you phrased this, acknowledging that kids of a different age (older or younger) would still have their own unique experiences, but that the rise of social media has forever changed things for the last generation or so. Genuinely jealous that your folks got you that older Atari. I had one home computer and it was dire…. I think that was why I drifted towards films. I would note that my generation had computer games on audio cassettes that took 30min to load, so I don’t begrudge todays software updates too much. As for TV…. Never had anything beyond terrestrial and remember channel 4 starting up…. And that wonderday time that TV went 24hrs and didn’t stop at midnight. I will be honest, I don’t think either of us would have survived the modern education system, being ground to dust to gain needless qualifications that don’t mean anything in the wider world. As for bullies…. Yeah…. We had similar experiences. Sadly, the 90’s were where I moved through higher education and into the working world, so I can assure you they weren’t super great to live through as an adult…… but I feel that same feeling of nostalgia for the 80’s and I do occasionally wish I could return to that time……. And of course buy every boxed toy I could and keep it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@adamwhite6530 I understand, and as I said in the video. I know some that are older so me talking about the 90s won't be quite the same. But I guess most people have a point in time, or a certain decade they loved a lot. For films and cartoons and such. I remembered after I uploaded this video. I actually had a Sega Mastersytem as well as a PS1, PS2 and the Atari. I also had a PSP and the Gameboy Advanced. For me the 90s was a great time. Also to witness the change and the explosion of Japanese Media in the west was cool. Also we were the last generation before everything changed.
