I have the touch. I have the power.
I got an original Nintendo new for Christmas.
I did too, but it was a famicon because I was living overseas.
Lycos search on Netscape Navigator
I am Toy Story years old
I saw the original Star Wars in theaters.
I grew up with the Star Wars trilogy on VHS box set and phantom menace was one of my first movies in a theatre.
I look almost the same as I did when I was twice as young as I am right now and I understand that during this decade I’ll probably leave the age bracket where this is possible.
I got one of the first home Pong machines for my 7th birthday
Old enough to remember the fourth TV channel launching.
I was going to say this.
Instead I’ll say: 48k ZX tape noises and Ace of Aces. Betamax. Not answering the phone as we’re having dinner.
And manic miner! Damn that game was brutal.
I once took a Toledo Salamunca sword and cut off my own head.
“By the power of Greyskull!”
Silver hawks was my favorite saturday morning cartoon.
Old enough that I briefly encountered floppy disks but still young enough that someone tried to explain to me what the “save” symbol means.
Floppy floppies we’re the first I touched. Internet access didn’t exist.
YouTube didn’t exist until after I graduated high school
The first movie I remember seeing in theaters was the Special Edition of A New Hope.
I loved Episodes I & II as a kid, but by the time Episode III rolled around I had developed enough appreciation for good screenwriting that I left the theater mildly disappointed.
I remember playing Duck Hunt as a kid when the combo NES package dropped and thought, no way video games get better than this.
