I can't cope much anymore just like the rest of you. I always think about the past. The mid to late 80's, and the early 90's. Life was great then. Enjoying Genesis and Turbografx games. I had friends. I rode my bike. Nobody cared about girls yet. My family got along. I had a future.
Now everytime I go out I always think about how the past is gone and there's nothing to look forward to. I live a life of delusion, playing videogames and retro games. Without technology I would rope for sure. Even with technology it's hard to cope.
I just miss those carefree days - the weekend would come and I'd watch some Saturday Morning cartoons (in the early 90's they started replacing cartoons with teen shows like Saved By the Bell, but Saturday mornings were still cool). I also enjoyed going to TOYS R US on a Saturday, getting a few Sega Master System or Genesis carts, not really knowing if they were good or not. Maybe stop at the computer software store to get a few Apple II games (LOL). Then getting some food (cheesesteaks, BK) to take home to the family, and then enjoying the rest of my Saturday. A friend or two would come along to the mall and TOYS R US as well and look at all the games. Play arcade. Walk around. Life was so carefree. I remember one trip to TOYS R US and I got Black Belt (good) and Kung Fu Kid (bleh) for Master System. I remember being disappointed in Kung Fu Kid right away. But those were still great days.
I don't know what happened, but by late 93 and into 94 life started to suck. My father died, I hated high school, I never grew tall, the videogame era was then 3DO/Jaguar and "edutainment" and crap like that. I think the downfall started then. Maybe it started then because I was older. Who knows. But it's hard to get through each day because I remember how great the past used to be.
Now I spend my days playing PSO2, Sega Ages games on Switch, and stuff like that.
