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.
