Junior school in the 80,s for me addidas kick trainers and tight jeans. My dad bought our first VHS video recorder ( not betamax lol ) and the remote control was on a lead you plugged in, I can remember trying to keep pausing the fanny and tit shot of kelly le brock in lady in red lol.

 

Secondry school in 80,s piere cardine ski coat and farrah pants and a fila tracky top with a lyle and scott role neck, buying and selling in school. Off down the fields with my dads webly and scott 22 vulcan climbing out my bedroom window. And trying to buy fiesta or razzle mags from cornershop of bus station with out my school tie on lol. Truly happy days without the restraints of life today, a business to run, bills mortgages mobile phones stupid laws ect.

not sure if i am in the right time here but i remember getting a spectrum 48k computer it had a tape player with it that you loaded the games up through, it took for ever. then the Atari with the cartridges come out instant loading. you just had a simple joystick with 1 red button on.

Lol was that the spectrum +2 trigg then after came the Commodor 64 n if someone had one of them they were the talk of the street lol even tho like you say the cassets took ages to load n that screeching sound they made, then a few years later Nintendo n sega hit the streets n brought video games to a whole new level, later on I never botherd with play stations n that I'd lost interest but remember back to the Nintendos n segas they were mustard at the time..

 

i remember that screeching sound well lol. nintendo had super mario and sega had alex the kid lol. the good old days i remember the snes coming out aswell you really was the kiddy if you had one of those. how its changed now.
