We played a lot of basketball, and touch football in the streets. and even Manhunt once in a while. We always played our share of videos too though. N64 system. mario kart, nba live, madden, goldeneye.
We actually went out though. I didnt even have a pc at home at the time. I think this was in 1999 or 2000

wow, that is soo true. i can remember having to program the vcr for the old folks and writing programs for my commodore vic 20. fuck, i'm not sure ill bang any 20 year olds again - hard times baby, hard times.
well kids today are also much more urbanized than we were. we had backyards and washed our folks cars and mowed the lawn. kids today have decks on their 2nd floor apartments - it's not the same. but, yeah.

I was born in the 70's I remember it well. Reggie Jackson was the king of homeruns, Fonzie was the king of motorcylces, and mom dressed us in brown corduroy bell bottoms and we thought that shit was sharp.
Then came the 80's and the advent of MTV and there was actually good music on it that didn't consist of slappin' bitches and gittin' paid..
I was first on my block to get a sony walkman and listened to "pac-man fever" more times than any sane person should attempt. We were the 1st generation gamers with pong, night driver, donkey kong, dig-dug and galaga at the corner store on a saturday mornings with a pocket full of quarters trying to get our initials at the top..those were good times
In 90's saw the advent of the first Home PC with an amazing 200mb hd and whopping 4mb of ram -all for a mere 3k! My first remote download consisted of dialing a number out of state to get a 1.4mb driver - only took 40 minutes and $8 long distance phone charge. Peopl carried mobile phones in suitcases.
The 2000's were marked with Napster and I counted myself as one of the "first on - last off" crowd, downloading at a whopping 4mB/s from my good 'ol 56k. If I had a nickel for every transfer that failed or song that had screechs in the middle I would have had enough to invest in gold when it was still just $300 an ounce.
and just think ..all the teens of today will look back in 30 years from now and reminisce the same way we old farts are ".. when I grew up we didn't have ports in the side of our heads you had to stare at a screen to see the internet..."

Lol PONG! I forgot about Pong. My parent's friends kids had more money than we did, and they got Pong when it first came out and I was crazy with jealousy. So when christmas came around, I hit the over-sized Sears Christmas catalog and found a cheap, pong-like knock-off and begged and begged and begged for it. Christmas morning I played it about 3X on our 17" black & white CRT TV (that used to have a bright white dot in the center when you turned if off that lasted for several minutes) and never touched that pong knock-off again.
Atari? Remember the rows of monsters you shot from behind blocks that dissolved by the monster's gunfire?
My brother had a Commodore 64, which we eventually decided was a piece of crap. Everyone knew that AMIGA was the future! I learned how to program Apple basic on an Apple IIe in High School. This was WAY better than that crappy Apple I; it had TWO 5 1/4 inch floppy drives. Eric L. in my computer science class wrote a program that deleted the disk in the other drive if you turned on the machine with his disk in. Some kid complained to the teacher that his program was missing and he didn't know why, and there was this disk in the other drive and he didn't know how it got there.
The teacher spent the rest of the day looking at the "mystery disk" trying to figure out what happened and why, but Eric never got busted for what might have been the first "virus" ever written. I wrote a program that prompted you to type in your birthday, and it was supposed to then tell you what astrological sign you were, but I never got it to work right. I was disappointed it didn't work and gave on the idea of programming computers at this time. Decided it was interesting, but had no real practical value.

i remember...
1. playing Warcraft II on a 36.6k modem... life changing experience, i believed that I cracked the "meaning of the universe" back then... there were about 10 people with internet connection in the whole city back then...
2. making my first online order... a T-Shirt of Metallica from their online store!!!
Everyone that has good memories of the past remembers them with nostalgia and missed that time... What I believe though is like the movie "One Night in Paris", that everyone believes that it would be much better to live in a previous era... Compicated to thing this one on its maximum but worth it!
