It's was a fun generation, especially for a gamer. I played PacMan in literal arcades, and watched the industry move to home consoles; saved my allowance for a Gameboy DMG. I feel like X‘ers still had a more free adolescense and early adulthood, though. Sure, I rode bikes with friends until sunset and had my share of tetanus shots, but by the time I was a teenager, everything was becoming foam-dipped and politically correct.
