          I remember our computers when I was in kindergarten and first grade with ATARIS with tape drives. We'd play States and Capitals whenever we could.

          Also, until I was about 6 or 7, we could dial anywhere in town (on our rotary phone) by just using the last 4 digits ONLY.

          Oh, and I used to play 10-yard Fight night and day.....ugh.

            It's all about Dino Park Tycoon and Oregon Trail. I used to play those all the time in elementary school..

                  I don't remember what i used to use electronically. I wasn't a kid who sat inside and played video games all day until I got my Xbox, lol. Before that I was always outside and just hanging around my neighborhood and stuff.

                            I remember getting a VCR with a remote control in the mid-80's...but the remote control was attached by a wire! It didn't even stretch all the way to our couch, so you still had to get up to use it.
