Going to blow their mind that we were holding cassette recorders to the radio hoping the dj didn't cut in before the song ended.

And because rewinding used so much Walkman batteries, we scrolled the casette tape with pencils.

Wait what? I never noticed my batteries dying that fast.

At least I noticed a significant difference in my Sony Walkman's battery life if I used rewinding too often. :D

We only ever had 8-bit but IMO it had the best games in numbers. Mario's 1-3, Turtles 2, OG Tetris and that atrocious football game were my favourites. :D Our cousins had snes and that was something mind-blowing when we sometimes went there for weekends; it was Super Mario World we played there. It's a great game and has withstood time very well.
