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.
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.
Now would that be the actual decor, or the nicotine/tar stains, or a bit of both?
A little of both but a lot of it was the shag carpeting.
I did not. I was at most 6 years old. I had a really excellent dollhouse.
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
26ish years and we're back in the 50s
Wait, in what way?
