The only generation to know what growing up was life _before_ the internet, while also growing up _with_ the internet. An interesting time in history to be alive.

80-90s is the peak time to have been a kid. I'm eternally grateful to have been there to experience it.

90s was pure balance
..video games, outdoors, studying, hanging out with friends safely and carefree

Given that the 90s is the favorite gaming era of both people born in 1980 as well as people born in 1990, I think it's more than rose-tinted nostalgia. It really was magical.

I was born in 1984 so this video hit home. 90s were a great time for gaming, I remember just staring at catalogs wishing I had all the games and having to wait until Christmas or my birthday to get one. Now I can buy all the games I want my only limit is time to play them.

I was born in 1980 and gaming in the 90's was...

one word: Magical.

I'm 37 years old and you explained exactly how things were for me and my friends. This was very well done. Thank you

Hitting 40, and I look back on this decade as the pinnacle of human civilization.
You're right, rose tinted glasses from our childhoods probably play a lot in this, but you're spot on when you say that games back then offered a sense of wonder and made you feel small in something grand.
Renting Megadrive games for 50p from my local videostore, 'borrowing' the neighbours land-line to call a tips line to help me figure out how to complete Home Alone, sinking pound after pound into the T2 Arcade Machine with my best friend and not even getting past the first boss, those are some amazing memories.

Brilliant video bro. 🙌

In the 90s, kids played videogames but also had a healthy and social life outdoors. Great times to be a teenager!

I’m a 1983 man, myself and I miss the good old days. Youngsters today think they’ve got it great, but don’t realize what a time it was to be a kid in the 90’s from the games, the movies, the music, the toys, the shows… you just had to be there to really appreciate it.

[bretearwood]

Born 1986, watched it all go down. Now I am going to relive it with my kids.

What a great trip down memory lane. Thank you so much for this video. Gaming in the 90’s was the best.

Proud to be born in the 80s and grown up in the 90s. Such a good time period to grow up. 😊👍

No its not just nostalgia, the 90s was a really cool time to be alive, last great decade in my opinion.

[SkinnyboyDre]

Gaming in the 90's was nothing short of epic. It was a good decade to be a kid, for all the right reasons. Things were different then and this video brought up a lot of nostalgia, and forgotten trauma with certain games. Loved the video dude!

[JohnCho]

Bro PC gaming in the 90s was HUGE. You left out the entire Lucasarts / Sierra Adventure / Origin Ultima RPGs / CD-ROM phase!

[julians]

I remember I was in 5th grade and obsessed with Zelda to the point where I was writing up my own "walk through" book. I even had drawings in it. I wish I'd never lost that book.

[Ochoa]

This made my day. Nostalgia level 100 achieved. I was born in 1980 and my Dad bought the family the NES in 1985 and forever changed my childhood. The 90s took video games to a whole new level. Video games made Summer breaks made a poor kid feel rich

Born 1989, grew up in the 90's. The SNES is still my favorite console of all many memories and that's most important to me now
