@SeaFury Haha! Those were the days... I spent a lot of time on my bike and remember calling my mom saying I'd be late coming home because I biked across the county. At least it wasn't a school night! I only had one experience with the fire department and I managed to not set the garage on fire, though the gas can was a total loss.

@sgtgary Yes. Can ALSO confirm. I remember the the dangers. There were a couple of places we never went. Places where bad things happened to kids (a girl was murdered out the back of a shop). But haunted houses were fair game. My 12 y.o bro broke the rules and got hauled to the police station 😝😝😝😝😝 - set an abandoned car on fire in the paddock. When the cops called my dad, he asked them to keep him for the night to teach him a lesson 😉 Mum started crying so he reluctantly went to get him 🥰 I remember how many hits to the head I got from jumping off the roof too (with a rope) it’s a wonder I still have brain cells 😝 #GenX

Though i played those "Early Gen X" consoles with friends or older cousins, the first ones that were "mine" were "Core Gen X". It was the Apple IIe, the Atari VCS, and the 4MHz IBM PC clone that really captured my heart. And we used the Commodore PET at school.

Which one was yours?
