When I look back at it all, I was extremely lucky to be born into a family that really freaking loved video games. (2 brothers, 3 sisters, and my dad....we all played video games passionately...still do actually. My mom was the only one that sucked at them, lol). Because of this, we pretty much owned every relevant console at the time. (the nes, genesis, and sega cd was my older bro's, the super nintendo, playstation 1, nintendo 64, and gameboy was mine).

But yeah, I barely knew anyone that had a jaguar, and turbo graphix 16 back in the day. The only single person I knew that had a neo geo was a cousin of mine on my dad's side on the family, and they were pretty comfortably upper middle class. Majority of the fam. and friends had a genesis since it was cheaper overall compared to the snes.

I grew up with Sega Master System, Sega Genesis, and Nintendo Gameboy during my early years. During the 8-bit era, my father picked out the Sega Master System. I remember asking for an NES since that was the system 98% of everyone else at school had during the 8-bit era, but I'm glad he picked out the Sega Master system for two reasons:

1) Almost EVERYONE (officially, I read it was 90% of gamers in the U.S during the late 80's) had a NES during the 8-bit era.... so whenever I went to someone else's house to hang out, I would play stuff like Super Mario 3, Ikari Warriors, Mike Tyson's Punch Out, Duck Tales and many other NES games for HOURS (and almost all the games were great fun.... except Friday the 13th. My cousin had that game on NES and I remember hating it, but I loved all of his other games). So it felt good to go home and play on Sega Master System, which was something different that no one else I knew had.

2) I was a huge fan of Sega's arcade games at the time and use to play them like crazy whenever I went to an arcade and the Sega Master System had TONS of ports of Sega's arcade games (even if they were watered down 8-bit ports, they were still fun).

In regards to portables, I was given a choice between Nintendo Gameboy and the Atari Lynx (Sega Game Gear came out a few years later, so it wasn't one of my choices).... despite the attractive color screen the Atari Lynx had, I very wisely picked Gameboy since I wanted to play Super Mario Land

Also, many of the Nintendo Gameboy games released later (like Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, which is my most favorite Gameboy game of all time) were a LOT of fun

For the 16-bit era, I went with Sega Genesis since there was an official convertor released for that system that let anyone with a Genesis play Master System games on it. Due to the backwards compatibility and the Genesis having Phantasy Star 2, a game I wanted to play badly after beating Phantasy Star 1 on Master System, the Genesis was my main choice over the SNES. Also, Genesis had Sonic and I had to play Sonic after seeing this commercial:



As for the other systems:
I NEVER owned a Turbografx-16 as a kid, but I did play a good amount of Turbografx-16 at my local Toys R'Us. They had all three 16 bit systems on display... there were LONG lines for the Sega Genesis and SNES displays, but there was NEVER a line for Turbografx-16, so I use to play Air Zonk at the Turbografx-16 display at Toys R'Us with NO one behind me.... which was cool because Air Zonk was a great game and I had it all to myself:



As for SNES, I knew A LOT of people with a SNES, so I use to play games like Mario Kart over at different friend's houses.
Also, I knew A LOT of kids my age with a Genesis (it was VERY popular, just like the SNES), so we use to borrow each others games
As for Atari, I knew ONE kid who had an Atari 2600 during the early 90's (which was a system WAY past it's prime at that point). Playing Frogger at his house was fun.

I remember loving World of Illusion (Starring Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck) on Sega Genesis (Sega Genesis exclusive) back during 1994 (It came out during December 1992, but I was still replaying it during 1994):

this isn't an anti-genesis topic

We know, it's just that many of us didn't have a SNES growing up, we had a Sega Genesis. Looking back at 1994, it seemed like almost half the kids in my school had a SNES and almost the other half had a Genesis. It was almost 50 / 50.
Both systems were very popular at the time and most kids only had one system (either the SNES or Sega Genesis) since their parents didn't have enough money to buy them both.

I say almost 50 / 50 since there was ONE girl I knew who had a Turbografx-16 with the CD (I use to talk to her all the time about YS 1 and 2 for the Turbo CD. I never had a Turbografx-16 or the Turbo CD growing up, but I had the Sega Master System and had YS 1 on it and had YS 3 on Sega Genesis, so I knew a good amount about YS). But she was literally ONE person out of close to a thousand kids who didn't have either a SNES or Sega Genesis but had one of the other systems out at the time.

Strangely enough, there was ONE kid who CLAIMED he had a Neo Geo, but none of us believed him since the Neo Geo games were $200 each (which is insane since games for all other systems cost about $50 on average back then). He could NEVER supply proof of any type either.

I didn't know anyone at my school who owned an Atari Jaguar.... NO one at my school owned an Atari Jaguar (I knew ONE guy who owned an Atari Jaguar but he was an adult who was in his late 20's / early 30's who lived in my apartment building... definitely NOT a kid). I knew NO one who owned a 3DO or the CD-i.

Remember playing madden 94 online? So confusing.

Did you have the X-band online modem for either SNES or Genesis when you were younger?
I never had that, but I remember seeing the commercial for it for SNES and Genesis (which I will post below).

During 1994 when it first came out, you could play certain SNES and Genesis games online using X-band (Madden being one of them). I WISH I had this when I was younger (would have been awesome to play games like Madden and Mortal Kombat on Genesis online), but my parents didn't get me an X-band..... most parents didn't buy this for their kids since this thing didn't sell well (a lot of people didn't understand the concept of online gaming at the time, despite this commercial explaining it very well):

Another Sega Genesis masterpiece that came out during 1994 was Crusader of Centy.
It's like Zelda (with a little Secret of Mana thrown in), but it's still VERY, VERY good (and it has a rather shocking mature plot twist later in the game. The game starts innocent, but does something rather controversial later on).

Crusader of Centy for Sega Genesis (an amazing game):

1994 was a great year for football on my Sega Genesis.
Both these games came out late 1993, but I played them during 1994.

Joe Montana II: Sports Talk Football.... Sega Genesis exclusive.
That was a freaking awesome football game:



Even better was Mutant League Football (which was Sega Genesis exclusive). This game ROCKED!!! This is my FAVORITE football game of the entire 16-bit generation.

Yes. You're just setting your child up to be bullied or worse.

I keep hearing this? Do bullies really target names based on controversial mythological history? I thought being fat or dumb were the usual culprits

Bullies target people for the tiniest, stupidest little details.... (EX: I once saw someone get bullied because they wore sneakers from some no name company). If the bully is religious (and most people are. It's stated by some sources that 75% of Americans are Christian. Less than 5% of Americans identify themselves as Atheist) and the bullies find out that the kid's name is Lucifer, I 100% guarantee you that the bullies WILL target that kid. It's the year 2017..... it's the age of things like SJWs and the sorts..... we have people getting offended by rated PG fart jokes..... a name like Lucifer will probably cause half of them to have heart attacks while the other half goes after the kid named Lucifer with baseball bats and tennis rackets.

Your example is not very good. Wearing no name sneakers is a great reason for bullying them. Certain brand sneakers are seen as indicative of more wealth, and are generally more stylish; these are both seen as virtues of sorts in contemporary youth culture. Showing you have no money or that don't particularly care about your appearance is seen as a way more sensible reason for bullying than a different and 'edgy' name

There is NEVER a sensible reason to bully another human being. Sensible and bullying are two words that don't belong in the same sentence together.

My name is Damien. Being born in 1978, my name was associated with the character from "The Omen" movie, a green eyed, brown hair boy who happened to be the evil son of the Devil. Now, my peers didn't harass me me about my name, adults did. I was asked a lot by adults if I was evil, if I had 666 on my head or any other of the movie references.

The name Damien nowdays is more associated with (for example) Damian Wayne, who is the son of Bruce Wayne and is also the current Robin (and also the current leader of the Teen Titans in the comics. Damian Wayne also has another comic where he as Robin is teaming up with Superman's son, John, who is the current Superboy). The Omen movies haven't been relevant since the early 90's (that was the release of the last Omen sequel that got mainstream attention). Most younger people, unless they are hardcore horror fans (or someone older told them) won't know about the Damien / Omen association. Most younger people have no idea what the Omen movie series is. It's not a series like (for example) Halloween, Friday the 13th, etc, that gets played on TV every now and then (so even most younger folks know about Michael, Jason, Freddy, etc).

Doesn't help when you had a pedophile as your spokesperson either

^THIS... and this is coming from someone who loves Subway (I have three Subways in my area and they are all really great).
Jared turning out to be a pedo really hurt Subway tremendously.
The recent Subway commercials are NOT memorable and the stench of "Pedo-Jared" still looms over Subway.
They need a REALLY great new marketing campaign... and fast.
Maybe a live action talking baby (NOT fucking boss baby) or a talking cute dog..... or a really hot blonde with big breasts..... or maybe all the above? ANYTHING to erase "Pedo-Jared".
