I remember kids could essentially make gangs based on the console they begged their parents to buy them, so there were snotty little kids arguing:
“Mode 7 blows the roof off all games! Mario Kart, F-Zero, the game that comes with the Super Scope my cousin has!”
“Whatever, Blast Processing is gonna destroy! And we have a Mortal Kombat blood code, to boot!”
I know, I was also surprised by how middle school aged children spoke back then, but my 7 year old assures me the 80s and 90s were “olden times”, so that is just how they spoke…
