I'm so blessed because I grew up in the 80s and 90s.

I like the 90's better but I like the period between 1999-2004 even better because that is the peak of happiest times. Seattle, SFO, Minneapolis were heavens in the 90's.

1980s Seattle.

Yes definitely, I feel so blessed. The 70s in SoCal were even better, we could play outside after dark with the neighborhood kids on summer nights barefoot and without supervision. Nobody ever heard of computers, cell phones, video games, Google, or MTV.

That is, until Atari came along. My dad was the first to buy an Atari console in my neighborhood, thinking circa 1980? Then ColecoVision.

Wish I still had them, but gave it all away long ago! Haha

Late 70s and early 80s were great times to be a kid. We still played outside but we were starting to see cool tech in our everyday lives.

I concur.

We carried on the tradition In the late 80's

I was thinking the same thought yesterday!

Did you have the Coleco Computer?

From what I remember, the ColecoVision we had was an attachment to the original Atari console or vice versa.

So you could play both Atari games and ColecoVision games on it.

Pitfall was my favorite and this other one I think it was Venture and these round spheres would chase you.

Reagan was still President when I graduated high school. Good times.

Everything jumped the shark in the early 1990's when the wigger music started.
