I remember AOL and Prodigy as well as dial up BBS connecting at 28.8k.
Lots of computer games especially Sierra games with King's Quest and Space Quest.
Lots of fond memories there. Some good music in the early and mid 90's

My dad was a computer science teacher for decades, so we had a computer for as long back as I can remember... with a dot matrix printer and computer games that existed on 5+ floppy disks.
Police Quest was another Sierra game... Wasteland... I remember a really old school baseball game that had some kind of wheel that you had to use to enter a password (the original combat against pirating, physical decoder rings).
I was born in '80 and the one thing I'd say I really missed out on were the concerts of some of the old school 90s bands.... Lollapalooza at Longview Lake in '95 was one of my first concerts ever with Metallica and Soundgarden and several others.
What I'd give to be a few years older and see Metallica touring with GNR in '92 or to see Nirvana live, or Billy Corgan 30 years younger (granted, I've seen Smashing Pumpkins several times now).
