      No decade since then has had such a personality as the 80s did. They were truly a magical era of child neglect and poor parenting.

        At least there was Atari/Nintendo and home computers already, as primitive as they were. I’d hate to have been born in the 70s and earlier. Sounds boring as fuck for a kid.

          Was born in the 70s, and yeah, the 8-bit Atari line was my jam. It was fun when it was cutting-edge; once the SNES rolled out it was… meh.

            I still remember where to find and get to the magic chalice in Adventure on maps 1 and 2 over 30 years later. The dragons STILL freak me out whenever they pop up.

          I was born in the 70s but I don’t really remember much of it, like it didn’t have a personality the way the 80s did. Everything was burnt orange and the TV really sucked.

        A famous man named Dennis Hopper once said “The 90’s are gonna make the 80’s seem like the 50’s” and he was right
