    I woulda been in jr high when this came out and everyone wanted either the Sony sport (waterproof) or a discman if you had rich parents (I did not).

    We got a used NES and pile of used games because a cousin worked for a rental store and they started dropping NES stock when the Super NES came out. Somehow later on someone gave us a Genesis, but that and an Apple 2e were all we had for most of the late 80s- 90s.

    Oh yeah, and in 92 little kids were still all about those crappy voice recorders from home alone. My little brother was all about those for a year or so.

      I had a walkman sport. It was huge and even with the headphones plugged in, you could take a shower with it haha.

      I eventually got a Genesis too. Then a Dreamcast.

      I’m in my mid 40s now and I miss that feeling that when my dad came home with an walkman for me. Now I dedicate my life to constantly giving my son that same feeling! Because once he becomes an adult, it’s all downhill from there.
