I remember, in the days without Internet, only 5 TV channels which weren't always fun, and sub-freezing temperatures in winter (leading to less desire to go outside with friends then), pass-times like "invent your own language" by making up words were much more common.
- yamtaddle 4y agoI like to say that the NES I had growing up (didn't get anything better until college, just had the NES through the SNES and N64 generations) was the ideal gaming console for kids: good enough to be fun, not good enough that you wouldn't get bored (or angry, LOL) and go ride bikes after a couple hours even if no-one forced you to.
- anyfoo 4y agoHeh, that is very true, too. For me it was more Game Boy than the NES, but to the same effect. Only Zelda: Link's Awakening gripped me for so long that I would spend entire days playing, but then there were still the times where we talked about it amongst friends outside.
