I remember playing Duck Hunt as a kid when the combo NES package dropped and thought, no way video games get better than this.
There was a misprint on magic the gathering cards that affected the artwork/coloration the year I was born. WotC recalled all of them and destroyed them all. The remaining ones that were already purchased sell for absurd money
The first movie I remember seeing in theaters was the Special Edition of A New Hope.
I loved Episodes I & II as a kid, but by the time Episode III rolled around I had developed enough appreciation for good screenwriting that I left the theater mildly disappointed.
My mom watched the Watergate hearings while she was pregnant with me.
YouTube didn't exist until after I graduated high school
I got one of the first home Pong machines for my 7th birthday
I look almost the same as I did when I was twice as young as I am right now and I understand that during this decade I'll probably leave the age bracket where this is possible.
“By the power of Greyskull!”
I am Toy Story years old
Lycos search on Netscape Navigator
Old enough that I briefly encountered floppy disks but still young enough that someone tried to explain to me what the "save" symbol means.
Floppy floppies we're the first I touched. Internet access didn't exist.
I once took a Toledo Salamunca sword and cut off my own head.
Old enough that I don't follow trends anymore and I just kind of do my own thing.
I got an original Nintendo new for Christmas.
I did too, but it was a famicon because I was living overseas.
I was confused watching Reading Rainbow because I didn't understand how a blind man could be reading to me.
Lil bonus, I know first hand why floppy disks are called that, but only because my dad had some old games.

to start, i first found out what 9/11 was through memes
And you're old enough to be online? That doesn't seem correct
(This comment also serves to say how old I am)
