On the 'more engaged with society' side, we did go to the movies pretty darned regular, often the Crest Drive-In, so we got three movies at a go.

But I've never really had much of anything in terms of video games, remote control stuff, action figures, cartoon character toys, etc. More books, sports equipment, BMX stuff, Skateboard stuff, Tonka Trucks, Hot Wheels, etc.

Like many (most?) people my age who grew up in rural Missouri, I spent a lot of time outside. I still had plenty of time to play a video game at the local pizza place or make a trip into the suburbs for a movie. I didn't really call anyone outside people. That was just everyone I knew.

ROFL ROFL - the extent of my video game experience was going to Fun Factory at Bannister Mall with my report card for free tokens.

And then, since I had no practice I sucked balls at it and my tokens were gone in 5 minutes, so we switched to SkeeBall in subsequent semesters so we could at least redeem prizes.

So did I, and still needed something to do when the sun went down, and during the winter when the temp was well below 0.

We did our own sports. Often outside. In between video games and movies.

Right. Because in the 80's sports were available every night of the week, and during the days in the winter.

Laying under the sauna bench in the men's bathhouse doesn't count as sports viewing.
