[@bethdibartolomeo2042]

I don't remember a lot of TV and movies from the time firsthand, since they didn't really become interests of mine until the mid-80s, and I was four in 1982. Mostly I remember going to Showbiz Pizza (later Chuck E Cheese) and Six Flags, and I had an ET wading pool. I was also introduced to computers, taking a computer course for little children at a local library. I've had a great love for computers since then. ^_^

[@tomy5868]

7 years old and moved back to Canada from (West Germany). Dad was Army and life as an Army near was great. I remember having a sweet sweet E.T Phone Home shirt. Was jealous cuz my friend got a Survivor cassette for her bday and Eye of the Tiger was my fave song. The 80's were the best.

[@64mung]
