lol From middle-school on my schools had IBM (clone) labs. Middle school had those three games on it, so I played most any chance I got. I was a nerd. Think Dustin from Stranger Things, with teeth.

Listen, Junior. You can take your "I was a nerd" bs back home with your IBM clone. Until you've suffered the pain and suffering of learning to code in COBOL, I don't want to hear it. Ever stub your toe on a minicomputer? I didn't think so. 😛​

LMAO! My parents tell me horror stories of coding with punch cards! I avoided COBOL, and didn't go Comp-sci (though most of my college friends were) so I refuse machine language! 😁

I was in learning COBOL in high school, kiddo. I stayed far, far away from computer science in college. Nope, good 'ol Arts & Letters for me.​

Arcades.

Pinball machines.

Even if it wasn’t at an arcade, everyone had those video machines. We had a little coffee place near our bus stop and we play video games and spend our school lunch, money, buying coffee, extra sweet and playing Star Castle, Asteroids, Moon Patrol, Galaga and pinball (8 Ball Deluxe and Silverball Mania).
 
I loved the freedom.

From the time I was in 3rd grade on -- The bus dropped us off and we were feral and on our own completely until the parents got home at 5:45. My boundaries? As far as I could go and still make it back before they got home from work, and what they didn't know didn't hurt them. I can't imagine wearing a bike helmet, let alone having my parents tracking me.

We were completely feral! Our parents needed a daily reminder that they actually had kids!

It's ten o'clock, do you know where your children are?

We live in a pretty rural area and rode our bikes everywhere!

One day over the summer, we just decided we were going to buy comic books. Never mind that we rode our bikes on a pretty main county highway and that the town was 12 miles away.

I think I was in fourth or fifth grade.

I also remember riding our bikes to a bar called the River Styx. Maybe fifth or sixth grade, but we will go there and get a treat sodas at the bar - and we got “served” and drank them during the day at the bar. No one seemed to care.

We played a lot on the railroad tracks. We used to throw rocks and cans at the train cars as they went by.

And of course, squished pennies, nickels and if you’re feeling rich, maybe even a quarter! (I mean that was 25 Swedish fish, or root beer barrels for god sakes!)
 
Saturday morning cartoons.
Atari video games.
Being told to be home before dark.
Buying penny candy at the store.
Paying 50 cents for cokes in High School.
Climbing trees, riding in the back of trucks.
Dad always had a gun in the gun rack.
Was taught gun safety and to respect them.
Was taught how to sharpen knives.
So many old memories...
 
We had computers in school in middle school. I remember learning how to make the turtle go in a square. Don’t ask me what language we were using.

I feel like I missed out on the whole feral child thing… my mother was a stay at home mom and my grandparents lived with us so there was almost always someone home. And my mother was a major overprotective/anxious parent! We did get to do that a little during the summer, especially when my older cousins were around. Somehow they were seen as responsible enough to look after my sister and me, even though they were partying on the beach every night 😂

Logo!!!!
 
We lived in an apt complex most of my childhood.. And my mom was the
"come home when the lamp post lights come on tonight" type parent because they were auto on/off according to the time of day.

Key around my neck on a yarn string. LoL
I had a sister that was 3 years older, she was considered the responsible one...
My sister left me alone to play with her friends..
So without water.. Only garden hoses..I did survive 😂 😂
 
For me it was bike everywhere too. Lived in the suburbs, so nothing was close enough to walk to (except Cumbies). I similarly got into trouble when I biked all the way down to the toy store, which was a respectable 20 minute car ride. My best friend lived a couple of neighborhoods over so it was at least 15 minutes just to get to his place.

I knew Logo, then basic, then C+.

Had to save up to purchase a Nintendo, though my papou got me a Gameboy for Christmas (yeah, I'm young). He also managed to get a hold of three cabbage patch kids for his granddaughters. He cultivated friends who worked at Toys 'R' Us, where the only employee benefit was the ability to set things aside off the truck (I know because I eventually worked at one for a while).
 
No posts since last night??

Did we happen to forget that this thread exists due to our " AARP status " 🤣??

Funny how we forget what we are yesterday but can remember a nice detailed afternoon back in our teens ........ when our lives were so much more simpler!?!?

Hope everyone is having a nice day!
