I was ‘67.
Yea the Atari 2600 was something else first my bud got the early 10 pound Sears version and soon after we all had one with hundred of games between us.
STILL...even that awesome device failed to keep us indoors very much during the daytime.
We spent our youth OUTSIDE from dawn to dusk.
I really MISS those days.
I hardly ever see kids riding bikes, playing stick-ball or shooting hoops outside anymore.
Sad...

So true. I raised my kids in a small river town. They played outside all of the time with the neighbor kids. I thought at the time it was like Mayberry. Whenever they get together now the conversation quickly turns to their childhood in that town. Great memories. This was the 1980’s. By the way they didn’t have bedrooms stuffed with plastic toys like so many today.
