  1. It was a different age when there were a lot more grown ups on the screen. And I think society in general was more grown up.

  2. Thank God for videogames in 2020 while we're all locked in our homes. I dare say they have been immeasurably beneficial to mental health during this time when so many people just want to escape from the troubles of the world and indeed, for the time being, have nothing else to do.

  3.  @namapalsu2364  Or you can literally find videogames to simulate all the things in your list.

  4. I'm an old fart I was 13 at this time. I had a Spectrum computer around 1990. I remember seeing news of the Super Nintendo and it just blew me away. There weren't really many arcades around my town (in the UK), you had to go to the seaside towns for that.

  5. This show is a window into what America was like a generation or two ago. All conversations were like the one you see on the programme. Not like today when we have been driven mad by social media and the media in general, resulting in what amounts to a collective ADHD and anger management problem. Watching this it all seems so mature and reasonable. Now, all the conversations I hear are petulant, immature, entitled and impatient.
