    It was the best decade.

    I got a cheap Chinese knock off on the game boy with loads of games. Spent all evening playing Tetris.

    I really miss the 90s.

    Bring back the Walkman and the buttoned up pants. And the denim jackets.

    The Walkman was from the early-mid 80s in the rest of the world.

    These days you can get the actual Gameboy, Gameboy Advance, NES, SNES, Megadrive, Playstation, N64 and Gamecube with all the games downloaded to your computer in an evening.

    Did you know that if That 70s Show were to start now with the same time gap it would be set in 1995?

    The only thing I miss about the 90's was kids TV shows. Animaniacs, the original Power Rangers, Kenan and Kel, The Adventures of Pete & Pete, Dexter's Laboratory, Taz-Mania, Ren and Stimpy, Freakazoid, and many more.

    I feel it as well.

    Asking the transition year students on work experience, do they know what a Walkman is. I was told their dad had one.

    Like seriously, there are people who never used it?

    I used to love duck tales. Though that could be late 80s?

    I recently had to explain to my dad that scart leads aren't really a thing anymore when he couldn't hook his video player up to his new TV...

    I reached adulthood at the end of the 80s but the 90s were cool too from 90 to at least 97. Got **** after that.

    Bring back the Walkman and the buttoned up pants. And the denim jackets.

    Last two aren't even 90's.

    Edit:

    Neither was tetris
