Loved that brought back a lot of my youth, up the local hills all day on my grifter with me mates. You wouldn`t let the kids do it to day and most wouldn`t want to rather be infront of a xbox

I am too old to have been young in the 1980s.

My boss gave me one of those housebrick sized mobiles back then, absolutely crap to use.

Its the computer age that doomed future generations , i was pretty bad pre-teenage on Commadore 64 to start with , then Sega Master System , Sega Megadrive, Sony Playstation , PS2 , Xbox 360. Sold the Commadore and Sega a few years ago still in full working order so fired them up and it was like i never stopped playing them.
Brakes? What brakes feet on floor and hope for the best was about as good a braking system as we got! It didn't go down too well with my mum when I ruined some new trainers in one afternoon.
My computer game path was Atari (with the dial controls) ping pong etc, ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC 464, SNES, PS1 and then N64. Still play Mario Kart 64 to this day. I didn't say 'are you coming out?' It was 'are ya laking out?' Whole day spent outside from morning till evening. Playing anything from hide and seek to team tig.

In general people were more responsible and less selfish.
